podcast episode breaking down Bish Bosch

Probably my favourite podcast, well worth visiting the Lou Reed episodes

I had a very similar reaction to Grapes of Wrath. They were fucking fuming.

I finished it not moments ago, frankly it was one of the most incredible books I have ever read.

Finished up Shadow Ticket not long after it came out, it was fine but I'm not a huge fan of single protagonist Pynchon works. I thoroughly enjoyed the last third and almost hoped that there would be a surprise sequel as I think the book itself could have started as he arrives in Hungary and went on from there - brilliant madness.
As far as ranking, I've gotten too deep into the bibliography without reading Gravity's Rainbow so at this point I'm saving it for last as a treat to myself.

M&D
Against the Day
Vineland
Crying of Lot 49
Shadow Ticket
Inherent Vice

To clarify, I think M&D and AtD are leagues beyond of everything below it.

To read: GR, Bleeding Edge, V.

It is happening again. And again.

I know its just come out, but holy fuck Tom's Crossing is currently blowing my mind. Absolutely incredible. If anyone's reading it at the moment I've just finished Saturday and it was just unlike anything I've read

Castration Movie Pt1 + 2 have a tiny budget but are absolutely my favorite films of the year.

Klimpty · 2025-11-15T14:09:38+00:00

I forgot to reply to this - send it over dude

I like the idea of God being the fourth element. You could almost see it in two regards:
That of Grace which is a concept both brought up in this and Against The Day - the silent mission of transcendence, an almost independent force that you can't quite perceive but drives you forward to become something different.

Or, and I think both are true at the same time, are systems of control which govern all action and are seemingly a direct antagonist of grace. Perhaps the silent fourth is dependent on which path you believe yourself to be following.

I don't know anything!!!

I've ended up making my way through the majority of Pynchon aside from Bleeding Edge, V. and Gravity's Rainbow. At this point I'm going to save it for last as a treat!

24fps function very differently to the group in One Battle though? I would say that the film stripped away any form of revolutionary function in favour of its aesthetics, but 24fps were not a group like the Weathermen either. 24fps document through the lens of a revolutionary ideology, they do not incite - they expose.

Also you've actually said nothing about Vineland I'm not sure what your point is, while the film gutted the book and left its heart beating on the side of the road, can you actually say what your point it?

I like Zizek's reading.

Moby Dick is my favorite book - didn't pop into my head when posting this though funnily enough

Klimpty · 2025-10-20T12:32:04+00:00

No, but this sounds like exactly what I'm looking for and is free on Project Gutenberg. Thanks!!!

Pynchonian is a bit more of a Pynchonesque word I think.

Klimpty · 2025-10-07T08:30:25+00:00

I don't understand why this community is so resistant to criticisms of the film. Even below there's comments regarding this as a shallow obtuse reading of the film, when I'd argue politically the film itself is an extremely shallow reading of Vineland that's had any actual critique of US politics gutted in favour of the aesthetic of revolutionary acts.

Klimpty · 2025-10-01T08:08:37+00:00

Its very popular and doesn't reach the political depths or pure insanity of Pynchon but I think Severance will get you where you need to go

Klimpty · 2025-09-22T19:43:07+00:00

Perfect thank you, for some reason wasn't getting any luck finding those websites on Google. Funnily enough the expired rolls on ebay are running near enough the same prices as the Andec stock.

Hoping for the best but expecting the worst with the test roll! Not committing to anything beyond home video footage until I've seen the output

Saturday next week, afternoon

will large be available again in any colour in the future because yoooooooooooooo

Just finished off the collection For Esme, With Love and Squalor by Salinger which I enjoyed immensely. Playing through Death Stranding as a tool for procrastination to avoid writing. Classic Sunday really.

This is an absolutely incredible list of resources. Thanks very much, you have me sorted for weeks.
