    • Goofs
      Microphone being used by the MTV interviewer backstage at the awards was not a wireless mic. Just a cheap "wired" mic without a cable.
    • Crazy credits
      After the end credits have finished rolling, there is a short 'epilogue' segment featuring Steve Buscemi's character.
    • Alternate versions
      According to the director, Tom DiCillo, there are two versions of this film, his original release and a Director's Cut. The original had an ending imposed on him by the producers, while the Director's version has his originally intended ending. This is what he says: "I had a lot of pressure from the producers to take this one scene at the end of the film and move it or cut it. And the only place to move it was at the end of the credits, like an Easter egg. Which I did against my better judgment because at least it would keep the scene in the film. It's that scene with Buscemi on the TV talk show, Access Entertainment. And it just bugged me because that scene ties together every single element of his character and his dream of taking "the shot heard around the world." Not that he has a fairy tale ending, but something good actually happens to him. But the financiers insisted I end the film when Michael Pitt and Alison Lohman disappear into the TV floodlights. I fought them and fought them and finally they pressured that if I didn't do it they weren't going to release the film. So I did it, and from the second I did it, I knew it was wrong. It ends the film on a kind of an existential downer that I never intended." His full interview on the release of his original version on a Special Edition Blu Ray can be found here: https://filmmakermagazine.com/111391-in-a-strange-way-the-film-feels-absolutely-new-to-me-director-tom-dicillo-on-the-release-of-the-directors-cut-of-his-2006-feature-delirious/#.YbrvjllOkjI The Blu Ray also includes, among other things: NEW!

    Putting innocence in harm's way and not regretting it
    Saw this on the big screen at this year's Ebertfest and the entire audience was unexpectedly touched by its skillfully rendered vision of a kinder, gentler Hollywood, one we probably only half know. The movie revolves around the two main leads, Steve Buscemi as the paparazzi Les Galantine, and Michael Pitt as the homeless innocent, Toby Grace. Probably the more impressive performance is Buscemi's who you can believe might have wanted to pass on this low budget indie. That would have been a great error as, for my money, this is his most memorable role by far.

    Mr Buscemi easily captures your attention and holds it throughout the film, not that Les is the most admirable of people. He's often barely tolerable and unduly self-absorbed at the most inopportune moments in complete contrast to his wannabe assistant, Toby. Michael Pitt plays Toby with affection as though he wishes his real-life counterparts well. And then there's Alison Lohman as the rising young fan magnet, K'Harma Leeds, and Gina Gershon as the publicist and agent, Dana. All the leads are played extremely well and are peculiarly memorable. But it took a little bit of magic to have brought all these players together with an entertaining script and actually pull it off. And the credit has to go to Tom DiCillo who obviously has the knack. Here's hoping he make's more films along this line.
