* The Popstar Pages is the fictional version of real L.A. porno rag The Hollywood Press. Quentin's first job around age 14 was restocking newspaper vending machines which is where he first read this publication.<br />
<br />
* The main character is based on a real person named Jim Sheldon, a relatively unknown second string film critic for The Hollywood Press. Unlike QT, Sheldon was not a big fan of low budget exploitation films.<br />
<br />
* The main character is partly inspired by Travis Bickle (Robert De Niro) from Martin Scorsese's New Hollywood classic Taxi Driver.<br />
<br />
* The film is set in 1977, that year Star Wars was released and became a pop culture phenomenon. Other notable movies from that year include: Saturday Night Fever, Rolling Thunder (the first film QT would be inspired to critique more in depth), Sorcerer, Slap Shot, Smokey and The Bandit, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Annie Hall<br />
