The novelist Jonathan Lethem, in his Foreword to I Loved Movies, But..., calls Joseph McBride an example to me, of discipline, versatility, and abiding with one's obsessions against all odds.... What animates my desire to follow Joe to any lengths, on any subject he engages, whether I already agree with him (Welles! Ford! Hawks! Lubitsch!) or am being seduced into a new exploration (Cukor) or have yet to be fully persuaded (Spielberg) or lack the equipment to judge (Officer Tippit), my response is uniform; I need to know what he thinks; I'm addicted to his form of inquiry and electrified by his gentle ferocity in pursuit of undisclosed or falsified truths. Joe McBride is a seeker, and however disarmingly plainspoken his writing may appear to be, his search, and his rage for truth is a force animating every line he writes. This creates a thrilling energy, a pulse or backbeat in his thought and expression.... In this book of conversation, we learn the personal underpinnings of Joe's voice.
