Uncle Boogeyman posted:it's definitely the most straightforward thing i've encountered by Pynchon by a wide margin. Doc is his most genuinely affable character. I saw this back in October so my memory's a lil fuzzy, but yeah this is totally true (about the straightforwardness), but I get the folks who were turned off by the movie's tendency to drag. Thing is, that's just Pynchon, and this was Pynchon at his most, streamlined, I guess? It was patience-trying, but I loved every minute of it. And I didn't really consider Doc's affability, dare I say joie de vivre, but yeah he was refreshingly earnest and bereft of that ex-hippy bitterness you get pounded over the head with in, say, Vineland, which I also loved.

HUNDU THE BEAST GOD posted:I thought the most offputting thing about the movie to I guess you'd say an average moviegoer is that the scene transitions are often abrupt. It's kinda funny because Pynchon tends to organize his scenes weirdly cinematically. I'm not well-versed enough in cinema or literature to exactly list his methods, but he makes great use of jump cuts and montage in his books.
