I liked the film of The Naked Lunch
but granted it has very little to do with the material in the book. It has more to do with the circumstances around the writing of it and the inspirations behind it.

It does.
But it hardly qualifies it as a film of Naked Lunch though.

Like I said, it has little to do with the material
but the film as a stand-alone thing worked. I liked the humour of it. Even the extra things it added, like the typewriter business, I thought fit well.

I love the humour and humanity of Burroughs' work.
Not sure Cronenberg is the man to translate it to the screen though.
