entombed in the shrine of zeroes and ones

I loved A Confederacy of Dunces. I'd heard prior to the hurricane that there was a movie of that being filmed but I haven't heard anything since then on a release date though. My BIL who gave me the book used to show his artwork at a young age around Jackson Square during that time frame. According to him, the delightful eccentricity of the local characters in that area written about in the book is a fairly accurate description.
