Actually that bit about the eating dinner with your parents was my my own perception, based on much experience, of the meaning of the original alleged Kerouac statement "a frozen moment when everyone sees what is on the end of every fork." <br /><br />I opened for Ginsberg when he read at Syracuse in 88 and saw him laugh at one of my mescalin poems, so there you are, the centipede in action! <br /><br />and the trifecta! Nice. Yeah for me it was Impromptu that made me first fall for Judy Davis, then Naked Lunch, and Husbands and Wives - with Barton Fink a film it took me a long time to learn to like, but I wrote about it for Bright Lights not too long ago. <a href="http://www.brightlightsfilm.com/61/61bloodsweat.html" rel="nofollow">Blood, Sweat and Canvas!</a>" I wonder if the New Age is around anywhere...<br /><br />And J.D., thanks for your insights! I know for myself that without constantly writing I'd be a basket case, though never shot no wife I did divorce one and can still hear her violent Argentine slang in my head during vulnerable moments, unless I write, write, writeErich Kuerstenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02850572368098319317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30487573.post-60854869100844075572009-12-15T16:30:43.249-05:002009-12-15T16:30:43.249-05:00Wow, incredible post on a great movie.

Recently I watched it for the first time in years and I thought it aged incredibly well.<br /><br />As for the origins of the title <i>Naked Lunch</i>, I never heard that about Kerouac saying it was from being dosed on mescalin while trying to eat dinner with your family; where is that from? I had always just read about the "naked lust" incident.Will Erricksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16285306262078600804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30487573.post-30695653316795478822009-12-15T11:04:13.558-05:002009-12-15T11:04:13.558-05:00Excellent post!

I think that part of the reason he does such a good adaptation is that he takes a detached view. He's not concerned with doing some kind of fanboy hero worship thing but get right down in it. Also, he wisely didn't try to do a straight-on adaptation of Burroughs' book which would have been impossible anyway and instead do a cinematic mash-up, mixing in elements from other Burroughs books like JUNKY and EXTERMINATOR and bits from the author's own life. After all, the accidental shooting of his wife Joan led Burroughs to become a writer as a way of coping with what had happened.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164105442273577128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30487573.post-56070389362884406102009-12-14T22:09:47.607-05:002009-12-14T22:09:47.607-05:00I love Naked Lunch the movie (haven't read the...I love Naked Lunch the movie (haven't read the book).
