I remember seeing a bunch of scenes in Slacker that translate into his later film Waking Life. I can't think of any off the top of my head. Anyone else remember scenes that influences WL???
-besides, everyone dies all by himself.
Driving around in the car with the speaker was a direct influence. Listen to the commentary on Waking Life he talks about it. Also they say some people thing the guy who should have stayed at bus station is getting to finally play pinball in waking life (chracter in each case played by linklater himself)
