''Drunk Stoned Brilliant Dead: The Story of the National Lampoon'' is a 2015 American documentary film directed by Douglas Tirola. The film is about ''National Lampoon'' magazine, and how the magazine and its empire of spin-offs changed the course of comedy and humor. The film features new interviews with ''National Lampoon'' staff members and other notable figures who were fans of the magazine, as well as much never-before seen archival material and illustrations from the magazine, many of which have been animated. The film was shown at the 2015 Sundance Film Festival and at the 2015 Tribeca Film Festival in New York City on 16 April. The premiere was at the IFC Center in Greenwich Village, New York City, on the evening of September 25, 2015. The title of the film is very similar to the title of a 2010 book about ''National Lampoon'': ''Drunk Stoned Brilliant Dead: The Writers and Artists who made National Lampoon Insanely Great'' by Rick Meyerowitz. The film refers to some of the same material, and features work from some of the same contributors, but the film is not actually based on the book. ==Poster== The poster for the film was drawn by Rick Meyerowitz, and is deliberately reminiscent of the original poster that Meyerowitz drew for the 1978 comedy ''Animal House'', more correctly known as ''National Lampoon's Animal House'', starring John Belushi. In the new film poster, instead of the fictional Delta Tau Chi House, the building portrayed is the ''National Lampoon'' magazine's headquarters, which were at 635 Madison Avenue in Manhattan. Alternate advertising artwork features a reproduction of the famous but controversial cover of the January 1973 "Death" issue of the ''National Lampoon''. Retaining the photo of the man holding a gun to a dog's head, the words "Buy This Magazine" in the original caption "If You Don't Buy This Magazine, We'll Kill This Dog" has been changed to "See This Documentary". The cover is also referenced in the above mentioned poster by an illustration of the dog. However, in this case, the dog is holding a gun to its own head while holding a sign saying "At the end of my trope", paraphrasing the saying "At the end of my rope". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Drunk Stoned Brilliant Dead: The Story of the National Lampoon」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
