I had little knowledge of the comic beforehand. I've flipped through it afterwards (and Zwigoff spoke at the screening) so I know there are some things from the comic, but it's more "inspired by" than "based on."

Combination of decreased time/lack of response. OKP's like movies, just not the ones I like. I started writing them for separate reasons, and thought it'd be nice If I could get people interested in better movies. I haven't given up, but I've just been too busy to spend any time on stuff that gets 5 responses. But what did I expect posting about movies that only show in three theaters in the whole country?
