<<Reminds me of the Glen Cove business. 

We can't possibly know that Kubrick doesn't use the
hometowns of authors he's read as locales for his
movies.>>

... or very well may not have read.  Even so, it's
possible, therefore possibly probable, therefore
possibly, probably all but certain.

As for the Siegel business, if Pynchon chose the name
because it was his roommate's (possible), the only
interesting question is what might that signify, if
anything?  But the question's a dead end. 

In the movie Ransom, Gary Sinese's character at one
point offers as an alias the name "Mr. Kinney."  It
happens that Sinese is good friends with the actor
Terry Kinney with whom (and with Jeff Perry) he
founded Steppenwolf Theater Company.  So he calls
himself Mr. Kinney.  Or it's a coincidence.  But, if
the former, it's a fact that goes no further and means
nothing in any context specific to the film.  Once
noted, it's trivial; twice noted, boring.
