Omg yus, almost forgot about that. Why couldn't he write a making of the book while he was alive, why?
Well, the making of Naked Lunch is pretty well documented already (that's how Cronenburg got in a few specific details, like the involvement of Ginsberg and Kerouac). Plus, the making of a book is not something that lends itself well to any medium... it's a pretty dull thing, at the end of the day it's just one guy writing.

However, Cronenburg managed it and it is wonderful. Hurrah for talking bug typewriters.

You're silly. The cripple was funny but that was it.

Aliens all the way.
I prefer Alien 3 myself. Especially the extended cut that's on that brilliant boxset (which is dirt cheap now, over here at any rate).
