<< I don't understand the hate Bleeding Edge got (okay, the sex scenesare awful, but still).I mean, it's a lot better than Inherent Vice was, and it's some kindof remarkable when you consider that it was written by a dude in his70's. I'd even go so far as to say there are parts of it - long, hugeswaths of it - that are shockingly good. >>
I thought Inherent Vice was excellent, and worked on many levels. Bleeding Edge was Pynchon's first (and, so far, only) bona fide dud.

That scene would serve very well as 'Exhibit A' when demonstrating what a horrible, pointless, go-nowhere mess the film is.
