The Long Goodbye the Movie, IV the Movie?

[rich]

lots of cool talk about weed and booze and such w/r/t to Chandler and
Pynchon, thankee.
for those who have seen the movie The Long Goodbye and read the novel
(both of which are great tho different beyond the medium), and with
all that booze talk, one thing I noticed watching the movie is that
Marlowe, if anything, smokes like a fiend, and not so much of downing
the hootch.

which leads to me to ask whether anyone who would film a version of IV
would so emphasize the pot smoking as much as it is in the book and if
they did I would think it would resemble elliot gould's chainsmoking
in the Long Goodbye.

just thinking here and as Yosemite Sam says "and my head hurts"
