Like what? Convoluted?
The Big Sleep is famously inscrutable because the actual script is contradictory and impossible to piece together, but a classic none the less. The Big Lebowski obviously has similarities with Inherent Vice, and both are inspired by The Long Goodbye.

The Third Man
The Maltese Falcon
Double Indemnity

I barely remember anything about that movie. However, one thing I do recall is that I saw it in theaters and the volume for the dialogue was absurdly fucking low at times. Like insanely low. Low enough that it would make Nolan's audio for dialogue sound like screaming.

Mmm don’t think so, but honestly don’t remember. I will tell you that they remove a great chapter where goes to Las Vegas and that I love Josh Brolin, but always thought of him more as a Clancy Brown type when described in the book. The book is boring and all over the place on purpose. It conveys that better than the movie does. Still not my favorite though

What’s not to get? Dentists supplied heroin to junkies and moved the H thru a network of neo Nazis and hippies. They partied with rich developers on a boat called the Golden Fang.

Its basically like a hippy stoner comedy where he goes on a mission to do something but doesnt actually achieve anything and just ends back in square one.
The only thing he actually does is get that one guy (owen wilson) and takes him back to his gf (jena malone) something which he never even set out to do at all.
its a fever dream ride.

In the true Pynchon fashion our protagonist seeks to unravel a mystery that turns out to be a conspiracy of myriad actors with inscrutable relations and an unknown level of awareness of the protagonist himself. This one's pretty nice because Pynchon wanted his hippie hero to actually win something, but he always does like to get a little sappy. If you like it consider reading the works of Ed Abbey.

The Pinecone novel is pretty good. And the movie is pretty good. Both are entertaining in their own way. I will say this for this for the film and the novel: They are both extremely comfy.

Hippies noticed the 60’s counterculture had a hidden hand. Large, unexplained flows of money, power visible to those with eyes to see. Shadowy figures in the background. They didn’t know what the fuck they were looking at, at the time. They were seeing MKULTRA, Operation CHAOS, Operation Gladio and culture creation first hand. Why were all the counterculture leaders spookbabies?
Dave McGowan tied it all together decades later.

Lurk /lit/ for moar.
That's what I would tell you, if I wasn't a nice anon. But I will tell you. On /lit/, the author Thomas Pynchon is commonly referred to as Pinecone. He wrote Inherent Vice.

Small but relevant example- here’s a Grateful Dead member bragging about hanging out at Bohemian Grove with the founder of the CIA/OSS. They really hit it off.
What’s more counterculture than that? Kek

It would seem the Creator preforms a similar dichotomy with each of us. Lest we become too prideful in life and become distracted from the things we are intended to learn and do here. It's a very good system.

They're all good ones, they're his three readable novels. Mason & Dixon is like someone took a brick to the head and then wrote an 800 page book, Against The Day is like some weird gay pedophile fantasy with a blimp, and Gravity's Rainbow is just
>dude weed lmao
the book.
Vineland is when he looked at Crying Of Lot 49 and realized that he could have actually written something readable instead of his paranoid ramblings about the US postal service he thought up when he was coming down off of black beauties or whatever speed they were taking back then.
Inherent Vice and Bleeding Edge are actual novels, with actual plots. It took him until he was in his 70s to start writing anything that made sense, but those are objectively the only coherent written works he published. They're pretty good, too. Everything else is mid-to-gibberish, undergrad poetry class, i just learned about philosophy level wankery.

I love inherent vice and a most of his books are good in some respect, woven with passages that are absolute gems. All worth a read once you get hooked on Pynch. But Gravity's Rainbow is his only GREAT novel. It's a pretentious to say this, but you have to keep an online dictionary handy and translate everything, every word you don't understand, every piece of german or french encryption, every reference from a bygone era, to really unlock the novel. It flows into one of the most beautiful cerebral landscapes that an author has put to page. It seems like dense rambling until you know specifically every word he has put in place and the plot while loose and sometimes feeling ancillary, is a lot less random when you have something to pick up on.
