@@TheWizardArtist why do you project ? It’s not about “getting it” bozo, plus I’m a big fan of the book, plus you’re responding to something I commented 4 years ago
As a fan of Inherent Vice, I reject your hypothesis. Cuz no movie can be better than the HOLY GRAIL of movies, The Big Lebowski! Now that's a scientific fact.
these kinds of movies aren't really for big audiences man. Sucks but we gotta accept it. At least not modern audiences. But it's the kind of movies even them could maybe find on streaming and really like it.
The problem with Inherent Vice is that PTA didn't cast Robert Downey Jr. I get he was too old but damn, the film would have been at least 40% better. Inherent Vice is a Robert Downey Jr film in the way Punch-Drunk Love was an Adam Sandler film. It also would have done alot better at the box office cause Robert Downey Jr in 2014, Duh..
@@sb-di3of I gotta disagree buddy. I've seen a bunch of the films that inspired inherent vice, also I'm really into PTA and I think I have an idea of what he had in mind when he wanted to cast RDJ
@@sb-di3of Inherent Vice is a film that demands the lead to carry most of it. RDJ had the perfect charisma, personality and voice. His voice coupled with his delivery woulda made the dialogue sound alot more musical. And I don't know that any actor can exude the level of calm energy the way RDJ does. I'm sitting here imagining all the shit he would have done with his face and body. No one balances Comedy and Drama like him.
@@sb-di3of I like joaquins performance but.. (insert here a laundry list of the small ways RDJ would have done a better job). I feel like as much as these actors and fucking amazing, everyone has material they would be better in than the next guy. Leo couldn't play Freddie Quil (The Master) as good as Joaquin did, yet I can't claim that joaquin is better. Joaquin certainly couldn't play Calvin (Django Unchained) as good as leo did. He would have done a version that wouldn't be as good in my opinion, yet if he was cast as Calvin instead of Leo and I said Leo would have been better as Calvin, I'm sure you would disagree cause you are a Joaquin fan and apparently not that great at casting. Which is okay. Sorry for typing so much, I think I'm a little bored and tired
