I read the book a few months back, and was kind of expecting something a little more screwball. Like someone else pointed out, I don't think that the static camera helped things — it works great in The Master, where you can focus on the performances, but it deflates some of the better jokes here. I also wished they'd thrown in some of the surf rock Pynchon describes at length, but I've been listening to Vitamin C non-stop since last night so I guess I can't complain. On the whole I dug it, though, and want to catch it again.

Double-post, but any thoughts on the ending?

It's better on the second watch.

Even the establishing shot of the whole setting is just a hint of the beach cramped in-between some bungalows.

I loved Godard's early stuff when it was mostly car chases.
