Inventing David Geffen was a documentary from the American Masters series on PBS made in 2012. So, it's not quite as new as I thought. But it was new to me. It does paint a pretty complete picture of Geffen's rise from William Morris mailroom clerk to billionaire Hollywood mogul. I knew bits of this story but not enough. I did learn a lot about his life and was gobsmacked to learn he dated Cher for over 18 months. I think he made a lot enemies as well as friends. He was fiercely loyal to his friends and not a good enemy to have. I think they downplayed the terrible enemy part of his character but it was broached.
It's a good documentary if you want to get a good behind the scenes look at the music and motion picture businesses.
As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm

Sounds like this shows him in a better light than the book
Hotel California where he comes off as a total asshole. Good at business, but an asshole.[url=http://www.brotherhoodofdoom.com/doomForum/showthread.php?tid=6347][/url]

No, you get the sense he's an asshole in the movie, if you look carefully.

Not until you say your safety word.
What's that?
No, no. 'Thank you sir, may I have another?' is not your safety word.
Now you gotta beg for it...

Nope. That wasn't it either.
I think there's a boot here for you to lick.
