Being an independent movie release, why wasn't John Dies at the End given more of an opportunity to be as true to the novel as possible? I feel as if many important plot points(as well as superb jokes) were left out entirely. This can not only annoy those who compare the movie to the book directly, but also those who have never read the book and are trying to follow a very convoluted story that the movie tries to tell.

The Bark Lee thing makes sense, but it's essentially reducing one of the most important characters of the series, down to a one line pun.
