Inherent Vice (2014)

Not terrible, but not particularly substantial either (sorta like the book in that sense). All the doc/Shasta interactions seemed wrong, and I wish PTA had resisted the book-movie adaptation trope of having a character narrate over the film. Well, it's a silly flick and enjoyable enough in its own right, and it looks pretty nice in 35mm if you can find a theater that's screening it that way.
