BEING JOHN MALKOVICH. BtVS Intertext/Allusion.

In the alternate universe of "Superstar" created by Jonathan's spell, Sunnydale's Sun Cinema is screening a film entitled Being Jonathan Levinson.

The "real" world original of the film would seem to be Being John Malkovich, Spike Jonze's bizarre 1999 film about an unsuccessful puppeteer (John Cusack) who discovers a secret door that enables him to enter the mind of actor John Malkovich for fifteen minutes at a time.
