He should do a cameo, with all sworn to secrecy which character he was.

no madlib review from dookey? I'm crushed. He's probably more looking forward to the latest Ethiopian lesbian splatter porn horror directed by an unknown Burmese auteur though.

that's why I want to see it, dookey. I want to see what an all-style, all-atmosphere, all-pretense director does with someone whose work is a running joke on that perspective, PTA will have to be able to eviscerate himself
maybe the tension will be good, like Verlaine and Lloyd
or maybe he'll give us Mark Rothko
anyway it'll be the first movie I've seen in a theatre in 4-5 years.

Only here to say that Mason and Dixon is a phenomenal read. The only other Pynchon novels I've read are Gravity's Rainbow and The Crying of Lot 49, so I can't compare it to his later stuff, but it's my favorite so far.
