Inherent Vice Information.

In lieu of the release of PT Anderson's adaptation of Thomas Pynchon's 'Inherent Vice', I wish to point out two very good resources. The first is the blog known as Cigarettes and Vines, which has followed PT Anderson's Projects for the last few years, and is a good resource for interviews, articles, photos and behind the scenes information for all of Anderson's films. The second is the Thomas Pynchon Wiki, which is pretty much the equivalent of Cigarettes and Vines, but for Thomas Pynchon's works, accept that it has a communal wikipedia, which allows people to get involved with interpretations of Pynchon's works, and to disseminate information about his works.

Their respective web addresses are:

and

After listening to Inherent Vice on audiobook, I am looking forward to Anderson's film even more. The projects seem to be undertaken in the same spirit; as more accessible projects than previous ones, but still with the intent of finessing and keeping true to their craft. I think that Pynchon succeeded with this, and can only imagine that PT Anderson, after Punch Drunk Love (with my initial bad reaction and subsequent surprise after watching it), will manage the same.
