TV-Pynchon

[Peter Romanienko]

On tonite's John Larroquette Show (NBC) the theme centered around a very
specious conspiracy that had at the heart of it all none other than the
Vineland Paper Company. When the story was brought to a publisher after
realizing there was no conspiracy he said it had the elements of Thomas
Pynchon- conspiracy, paranoia etc. (alhough no rainbow-except for the
rainbow colored ballon in a scene-or mention of heliotrope) and would make
a nice screenplay. After the title character left, the story was shredded
as the camera focused in on a placard identifying the publisher as a
subsidiary of Vineland Paper Co. Kind of cute it being the day before TRP's
B-Day and all.
