This is the trailer for William S. Burroughs: A Man Within (THAT’S WHAT SHE SAID LOL), a documentary about you guessed it, Einstein P. Smartbrain, William S. Burroughs. It features appearances by David Cronenberg, Peter Weller (who’ll surely have important things to say about Burroughs’ contribution to the literary canon because he played Robocop), Iggy Pop, Gus Van Sant, Jello Biafra, and everyone’s favorite, Genesis P-Orridge. (I don’t even know, dude, just keep walking and try to avoid eye contact). Anyway, it’s a good thing William Burroughs shot his wife and was into guns and gay sex and gay sex with guns, because otherwise all they’d have to talk about is that f-ing unreadable heroin ramble of a book he wrote.

At least it looks better than that stupid ass Hunter S. Thompson documentary.
(Welcome back, felch breath.)
Just watch Iggy at 1:30 and tell me your first instinct isnt to hope he falls into that channel or pond in the background and melt. Thats what railing blow for 30 years does to you right? melt?
‘Naked Lunch’ was a huge waste of an afternoon, some scented candles, and some hand lotion. You have any idea how hard it is to masturbate to that book? I got fifteen pages in and gave up. I had to go back to my old standby, ‘Curious George and The Keyhole on The Bathroom Lock’.
William Burroughs shot his wife and was into guns and gay sex and gay sex with guns, because otherwise all they’d have to talk about is that f-ing unreadable heroin ramble of a book he wrote.
If they work in a “Volcano Taco Glass Bottom Boat”, this might be the best movie evar.
Oh, He was home sick yesterday and reviewed a movie!

They should have called this “Assholes and Heroin.” 300 feet, Brian Singer.
A Man Burrows Within William S. *smirk*
After scanning his Wiki page, all I got was that he was a spoiled brat junkie living on an allowance from his rich parents, not working a day in his entire worthless life while he traveled the world, fucking everything in sight.
Fuck him, he didn’t drop soon enough.
I’m not bitter lately or anything.
^ “Burrows Within” = “Buttfucks”
HA!HA!
Hey now, Peter Weller wasn’t just Robocop, he was Buckaroo Banzai. Like Buckaroo, Weller too is quite the renaissance man. A while back I caught him hosting Engineering An Empire on History Channel and looked him up to see how he got that gig. Turns out he’s got a Masters and is working on a PHD in Roman, Italian, & Renaissance Art History and teaches as well. So that’s why he’s qualified to….wait, none of that qualifies him to discuss English Lit.
Al’s got a point, Burroughs was kind of a hipster.
I confess, Oski, I knew he was smart in real life, but if you can’t tease a man for playing Robocop no matter what, I might as well just quit now.
These people seem to need a book in order to fully enjoy gay sex and heroin. Methinks they’re probably doing it wrong.
I confess I just wanted to name drop Buckaroo Banzai for forgotten classics.
Gay sex with guns involves a lot of back action.
Gay sex is like a rifle with no bullets, you have to use the butt.
Dead or alive, you’re cumming in me.
If Burroughs was Robocop, I shudder to think about what he’d do with that spike thing that connects you to computers. It’s a shame the guy who invented the USB port didn’t consider the ability to stab people when designing it.
man I’m gonna feel stupid if people are blatantly ignoring this fact, but Peter Weller played Bill Lee in the ’91 version of Naked Lunch, which was directed by Cronenburger. And before you rush over to the imdb page, let me save you a trip: the movie sucked too. But Vince? there was a lil bit of gay sex, so it won’t be a total waste of your time.
When I think Junk I don’t think Heroin…*points to chaffed naked lunch lap* Junk never makes the ladies nod off!
