On a recent Friday night, Jim Belushi walked into a high-rise apartment in Chicago and shouted, “Am I late? Did you talk about me yet?” Belushi had been invited, as had the other 40 or so people at an event who had come to hear veteran film director Ed Zwick talk about his new memoir, “Hits, Flops, and Other Illusions: My Fortysomething Years in Hollywood.” So Belushi shouted, some people laughed and Zwick carried on, saying, “Haven’t mentioned you yet, Jim, but I will.
” His book is a generally sunny trip, in sharp contrast to the recent memoir by another David Mamet, whose recently published “Everywhere an Oink Oink,” lives up to its subtitle, “An Embittered, Dyspeptic, and Accurate Report of Forty Years in Hollywood.” Zwick knows and respects Mamet and said he'd love to share the stage with Mamet in a discussion of memoirs. There is no question that Zwick shares some of Mamet’s views about Hollywood and the movie business.
