We fought against the day and we won... WE WON.

Cinema is something you do for a billion years... or not at all.

However, I do get the lazy ass Calvin & Hobbes reference.

QuoteThe prison of reason, the need for transcendence, the yearning for an absent meaning: these have been the stuff of literature and philosophy and theology for centuries.

Can someone tell us what these commenters are talking about?

QuoteI have had the soundtrack to Inherent Vice as its listed on amazon on my ipod for months now and I have been listening to it over and over... and over. I hope Paul keeps it all because the music is soo good and fitting

QuoteI'm sure he will keep some of it but music selection has often been a big way for PTA to express himself. Betting he will have at least a few less commercial songs of his own choosing from the era in there.

From the IV IMDb message boards:

QuoteI remember thinking that it was a really cool idea for Pynchon to release a soundtrack to a book. Very clever idea. Some are real songs by real bands, some are fake songs by characters in the novel. Here it is as listed on amazon.com.

pynchon himself made the playlist, to portray the atmosphere of the book. the book talks about music and creates lyrics, which is a thing pynchon likes to do

i don't remember where it was. it looks like it was on amazon and isn't on amazon anymore

I might be drunk (or gay or both, I don't even know anymore) but that dude at he left of phoneix is a fucking sexy.

If anyone is interested, go on instagram and hashtag inherentvice, because there are a couple of 10-15 second behind the scenes clips on there from folks who were on set. A notable one is some dude right behind PTA as they're shooting a steadicam shot

Lottery

Bunch of good photos of miscellaneous IV stuff too. Cool.

Reel

can you link for those of us not cool enough to be on instagram?

Lottery

I googled something along the lines of 'instagram #inherentvice' or something, can't remember.

Frederico Fellini

For those that don't have instagram: 













The other pictures on there are either super blurry or very far away, but if you still wanna see them, just google:  "Instagram #inherentvice", like Lottery said.
