Wood Harris and PTA

Ngl I thought bloody harrelson was in this for a sec

I mean feel like it’s a good placeholder until we get something official, especially since it got confirmed as being a modern adaptation

Nah the goat WOOD HARRIS

PTA bout to give us some paid in full vibes omg…Wood Harris and Regina Hall back together….Teyana whos from Harlem…..wow

any Pynchon readers itt? I love the Inherent Vice movie & know nothing about this book they’re adapting, is it worth getting into before the movie

@Jonboi

Lmaoo bro why you ain’t tell me I mixed up Vineyard and Vineland….deadass was thinking this whole time it was called Vineyard

I was wondering if he subtly changed the name for the adaptation but that doesn’t make sense cause Vineland is a place it’s based on lol

Inherent Vice the movie was a super faithful adaptation, so it could be the case that Pynchon is up your alley. He has a specific style. Run-on sentences, jumping back and forth between a bunch of different characters, some type of conspiracy, and an encyclopedic knowledge of the most niche subcultures. There’s wacky madcap comedy mixed with melancholy. As an author he has a reputation of being challenging but Vineland is among his more fun and accessible. And it feels like a spiritual sequel to IV. I think the book is great. I recommend it.

good shout always heard good word of mouth about his stuff like Gravity’s Rainbow but seemed impenetrable & intimidating to get thru at the time for me, mainly bc I was younger when Inherent Vice first came out

i’ve gotten into noir literature/films heavy in that time since then so I’m sure I’d be cool with sinking into his sorta writing style now, I’ve reading nonfiction for a minute now so I might peep it once I have time to begin reading thru Heat 2 first

That’s why I was confused lol like why is bro against the title

After all you’ve said over the year all I know is the story is about a dude jumping in a window for a check, his missing baby mama, some ninjas? And Republican Party

They may be filming this in sacramento! They were in Humboldt County, people saying they seen Leo in a white bentley truck in downtown sac today
