How can someone not like Joaquin's face? If it's the harelip, he really can't help it.

Also, he makes smoking joints look magnificent. It's my favorite noir-ish element in the movie. Look at that outfit.

Yeah, I know what you mean. He has a permanent snarl but a perfectly expressive face, which always makes me wonder if he's doing it on purpose. He definitely plays it up in The Master.

It's such a simple concept though, for both PTA and Pynchon - a noir detective story where the detective is constantly high and only straightens up, as a pothead would, to entertain his pet conspiracy theory. It's got it all, snappy banter with an ambiguous partner on the force/lawyer, hopelessly corrupt high society (it's even got blighted land deals), a mysterious woman from the past, dirty cops who are in on it, a vague "syndicate", red herrings and the rest. The comparison to Lebowski and The Long Goodbye are well considered.

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.

If you ignore all of the specificity of it, sure.

Just for starters, Inherent Vice is good in the first place and American Dumbass Hustle is not. I think it compares quite favorably to both Lebowski and The Long Goodbye, but I am a much bigger Joaquin fan than I am an Elliot Gould fan.

I'm wrong, at the time he would've been well known as Mister drat Universe.

Coffee And Pie posted:I think my favorite/the funniest part of this movie might be during the scene where Bigfoot eats Doc's weed, a single tear rolls down his cheek as he watches. "I might not be your brother, but you sure need a keeper."

Grizzled Patriarch posted:Bigfoot's scene felt to me like a way to visualize the historical arc that the story deals in; it's authority kicking in the door and literally consuming the culture. It's just such a beautiful scene.

FreudianSlippers posted:After hearing a lot about how convoluted and complex the plot was I was surprised at how straight forward everything was. Not to say that it wasn't complex and convoluted but not much more than your average noir mystery film. The presentation is just slightly trippier. It's about as complicated as pretty much every noir film ever.
