Additional Details

"[After the premiere screening] John [Belushi] and I stopped in the lobby in front of a huge reproduction of the poster. We were both staring holes in it. I was thinking I was a lucky guy; I'd managed, somehow, to capture the whole damn movie in one piece of art. . . John, as if reading my thoughts, said to me, 'You nailed it, man. You really fucking nailed it.' It is the best compliment I have ever received about my work on Animal House"--Rick Meyerowitz, "Drunk Stoned Brilliant Dead" (New York: Abrams, 2010).
