60 of 195 · most liked firstIt’s so rare to be halfway through watching a movie and realize you are watching one of your favorite films for the 1st time. Another PTA masterpiece. I am vibrating I am so happy with what I just watched. It’s a novel as a film, everything Inherent Vice wanted to be but executed PERFECTLY. In LOVE.
unlabelledView post →PTA's INHERENT VICE turned 10 today. I wrote about it for @bwdr.bsky.social as a film shaggily disguised as a noir about a man solving a mystery, and instead presents us with a man confronting a melancholy truth: everything—lives, eras, and loves—comes to an end.

unlabelledView post →Watching Inherent Vice again, I forgot just how funny this movie is.
unlabelledView post →What genre of movie do you most want to hang out in? For me, it's post-60s LA noir: stoners and flakes getting in over their heads, convoluted crimes, a shaggy journey through the weirdness of the city. Even when a movie doesn't really work (Inherent Vice) I like to be in that world.
unlabelledView post →Inherent Vice is a great movie, if you watch it in roughly 30-minute increments. This structures the shaggy nature of it in a way that totally curtails the "drift" I felt trying to watch it in one go.
unlabelledView post →saw Inherent Vice tonight and i was almost crying laughing in the theater at this man AND THAT'S NOT EVEN THE FUNNIEST THING BROLIN DOES IN THE MOVIE
unlabelledView post →I saw Boogie Nights tonight, a perfect movie, but every time I think about Paul Thomas Anderson I remember that when Inherent Vice came out this dude I knew asked me if I wanted to go see it with him and he drove me to the theater and then after it was over kept talking about how much he hates PTA
unlabelledView post →Counterpoint: INHERENT VICE was the best film released that year and grows with every rewatch. It is sly and literate and deeply felt and utterly unconcerned with whether or not you get it.

unlabelledView post →The Martin Short scenes in Inherent Vice are pretty good. We should get a PTA movie with Martin Short as the main guy

unlabelledView post →Inherent Vice truly a film you walk out of wondering how there aren't like, a dozen screencaps and gifs from it in perpetual "reaction gif/image" circulation
unlabelledView post →Watched Inherent Vice tonight and man I wish the experience of being in Southern California was anything like it is in a Paul Thomas Anderson movie. New York? That can be the way it is in the pictures on a good day, but LA is always a disappointment.

unlabelledView post →One of my favorite things about Inherent Vice (both the movie and the novel) is that it demonstrates how simply describing what you’re seeing in front of your eyes in this country makes you sound like a paranoid hippy conspiracy theorist, making it impossible see the rot until it’s too late
unlabelledView post →Inherent Vice whips ass, and PTA absolutely nails the vibe in his movie version.
unlabelledView post →What it is, to me, is PTA truly capturing the Pynchonian spirit, even if this adaptation of Vineland is far less literal than Inherent Vice was. The whole film is vivid, high contrast, exaggerated almost to the point of absurdity but never abandoning a core of recognizability.
unlabelledView post →“Inherent Vice the novel is an elegy for an era that has permanently changed […] But the film is a profoundly mournful, profoundly funny study of men and women stunted in the thrall of time’s passage, and by the loss it creates as those they love disappear within it.” - @aheartofgould.bsky.social
unlabelledView post →god Brolin is insanely funny in Inherent Vice. the effortless escalation of the chocolate banana bit from the first time to the second is pure movie magic

unlabelledView post →Saw Inherent Vice in glorious 70mm film tonight. Thanks be to @musicboxtheatre.bsky.social and MUBI for putting it together. Love Joaquin Phoenix, Paul Thomas Anderson, Josh Brolin, everyone. It's such a delightful adaptation of a novel by an author I adore. Need more movies like it.

unlabelledView post →Might be time to rewatch Inherent Vice, the film that somehow almost improves on one of Pynchon's best books
unlabelledView post →As One Battle After Another smashes through the $100m mark worldwide, it's worth taking a look at Paul Thomas Anderson's other Thomas Pynchon adaptation, the rather less immediately satitsfying Inherent Vice from 2014. Kinda like The Rockford Files on acid. 4/5 film-authority.com/2025/10/07/i...
unlabelledView post →In the mood to watch the classic Halloween film “Inherent Vice”
unlabelledView post →the Counselor is crazy but pretty awesome. The Dog Stars was disappointing. Harlan County USA is a historical document everyone should watch. Inherent Vice is the most high brow Ceech and Chong movie ever. #Filmsky #LastFourWatched 🏠
unlabelledView post →Body Fever (1969). Ray Dennis Steckler's Inherent Vice (2014). I'd recommend this to fans of Anderson's film for the novelty of a late 60s neo noir about a bunch of So Cal, fringe dwelling weirdos actually made in the late 60s by a bunch of So Cal, fringe dwelling weirdos.

unlabelledView post →I wish more people would read Inherent Vice (not the film) because it looks at the same fallen movements as The Big Lebowski but it sees that it was a legitimate praxis that was assassinated by the state while TBL points the blame on the ideologies and idealism.
unlabelledView post →Here’s my hot take: Under The Silver Lake is a better movie than the adaptation of Inherent Vice
unlabelledView post →OBAA has got me re-evaluating PTA and, you know what? he's really good. Rewatching Inherent Vice last night was the most fun I've had watching a movie in quite a while. It's the same pleasure as peak Pakula--scene after scene of actors absolutely nailing the one thing they were cast to do.
unlabelledView post →I rewatched Inherent Vice and it is totally insane how much of that movie is Phoenix listening to character actors describe insane, irrelevant shit with some of the most compelling acting
unlabelledView post →Took me over a decade but I finally rewatched Inherent Vice. Much, much better than I remembered. Partially a movie that benefits from rewatches, but I also just think I'm way more into noir/detective fiction than I was, along with the late 60s/early 70s generally.
unlabelledView post →Sigh, jury duty. At this particular moment in history there are many places I’d rather go than the courthouse downtown, but at least it is the building from Inherent Vice, so I’m *sort of* visiting a film location lol.
unlabelledView post →What films won you over after a second try? I enjoy 2014’s INHERENT VICE more every time I see it. A friend called it “Incoherent Vice” which made me a little sad. Sometimes a good film requires a 2nd watch before it clicks for us. Like SYRIANA. I don’t think it’s always the movie’s fault.
unlabelledView post →Inherent Vice is still Paul Thomas Anderson’s best film though.
unlabelledView post →There are a lot of great scenes in INHERENT VICE, which is of course also a great movie, but my favorite will always be the one with Belladonna.
unlabelledView post →Rewatched “Inherent Vice” tonight- that movie is great the first time you see it but gets 20% better with each return visit.
unlabelledView post →Realizing there’s a three day stretch next month where I’ll be seeing James Benning in person with 11 x 14 on 35mm, Kitano’s Hana-bi on 35mm, Cronenberg in person w/The Shrouds, AND Inherent Vice on 70mm, Chicago Movie Mindset soaring to brave new heights
unlabelledView post →the proper Pynchon on-boarding is Inherent Vice, Lot 49, then GR or Vineland if you want to be ready for the movie by September
unlabelledView post →#NewYearsResolutionsChallenge #Filmsky #Moviesky 3. Someone quitting something in a movie 🎬 Inherent Vice 💚 Shasta and Doc try and then quit trying to score dope (my favourite scene in the movie)
unlabelledView post →Using MOVIE as an acronym, recommend 5 films: M: Molli and Max in the Future O: Old Henry V: Viy I: Inherent Vice E: Emergency Squad
unlabelledView post →INHERENT VICE remains my perfect film.
unlabelledView post →At the courthouse for potential jury duty AGAIN (second time in a year, Federal Grand this time), and I already made the joke about how this is where Joaquin Phoenix gets knocked down in Inherent Vice so it’s kinda like I’m visiting a film set. They pick on me twice, I do joke twice.
unlabelledView post →"Inherent Vice" the movie is at least as good as the book, which makes me hopeful that PTA could do some great stuff with "Vineland," which I love more than any other Pynchon fan but admit has a few flaws.
unlabelledView post →Time to finish out my PTA cycle with the only film of his I’ve never seen. #NowWatching Paul Thomas Anderson’s INHERENT VICE
unlabelledView post →One Battle After Another. This isn't to say I liked it. It's just the only movie I remember seeing this year. Inherent Vice is Paul Thomas Anderson's best movie and I don't care what IMDB says.
unlabelledView post →I got a promo gift 11 years ago -- for Inherent Vice the movie — that STILL smells like patchouli.
unlabelledView post →Rare moment of wanting to read the novel after watching ‘Inherent Vice’ (2014), an American period neo-noir mystery comedy film set in LA. Strangely satisfying. Currently on ABC iView, free in #Australia. 🎥 📖 www.rogerebert.com/reviews/inhe... #FilmSky #InherentVice #GuiltyPleasure #GonzoDialogue
unlabelledView post →Using MOVIE as an acronym, recommend 5 films. My picks - M - Marketa Lazarova (Vlacil) O - Orlando (Potter) V - Veronika Voss (Fassbinder) I - Inherent Vice (PT Anderson) E - Everybody In Our Family (Jude)
