I have never been more disappointed by a movie in my entire life.

I first heard about this film maybe eight months ago and have been eagerly anticipating it since; checking fandago for the first possible showtimes, looking at posters, reading news, etc. Then finally I get a ticket. I go by myself because I just want to focus on what I think will be my new favorite movie. As for Pynchon, I've read Crying of Lot 49, Gravity's Rainbow, Mason & Dixon, and of course, Inherent Vice. And PTA is my favorite director.

This movie sucked. I am so bummed. The pacing SUCKED, the scenes were flat. It looked like almost everything was a first take. The awkward pauses weren't funny, they were just awkward.

Because this film meant so much to me as it was being developed, I'm going to watch it again after reading some really in-depth reviews. But the entire second half I just wanted to leave because I was so miserably disappointed.

Despite hating this movie, I'm a massive PTA and Pynchon fan and I'm eager to give it another watch on DVD to see if I like it the second time around, especially after having read this excellent thread.
