Joaquin is much better than Downey Jr.

It sounds promising–pot smoking hippie private eye in 60s Los Angeles–but it's a pointless, confusing mess and one of Pynchon's worst novels. I would get excited if it were one of his earlier works–"V," "The Crying of Lot 49," or most of all "Gravity's Rainbow." But not this one.

The man used to actually be a compelling ACTOR. Now he just riffs off himself & is certainly going to come back for another round of Marvel paychecks.

What a great euphemism for "ginormous douchebag".

Great fucking news right here. While I agree with the people on here saying this is not Pynchons best novel it will still work good as a movie, especially with PTA on board. The problem with adapting Gravitys Rainbow is actually not just the density but the fact that with the way most directors would approach it it most likely would come out like a Cloud Atlas style clusterfuck. Inherent Vice is far more linear and PTA has already proven he's canny about distilling the essence of a time period without beating you over the head with it. What i wonder about most is to what extent he is going to include/use music in it. Pynchon is famous for putting dumb songs in his books and I'd think you would be tempted/ possibly feel obligated to use one or two just for the fans, though doing it wrong could possibly derail the movie IMO. I'm just imagining PTA sitting there at his writing desk right now with the book open on his lap reading some limerick of a talking lava lamp singing about mitosis or something and going 'Huh'.

Both the Pinoccio and esp that Judge project don't sound too interesting to me.
