Inherent Vice

I was compelled to give this 3 and a half stars but there just isn't a big enough of a hook to earn that.

Its a film that's definitly to long and while i apreciate paul w.s Anderson for making long features......it does backfire with this one.
Joaquin pheonix and Josh Brolin are amazing but honestly what these movie needed more was being more comedic. I look at the haircut Josh Brolin has and I desperately want it to be as goofy as that haircut.

How I Watched Inherent Vice:
- Rents from Prime
- Hits play, starts the 48 hour rental window
- Watches first ~10 minutes. Wait, what? Restarts.
- Watches first ~10 minutes. Wait, what? Restarts.
- Watches first ~10 minutes. Wait, what?
- Watches first ~30 minutes. Wait, what? Go to sleep. Restart tomorrow.
- Not today. Restart tomorrow.
- One hour left on my rental, oh no! Restarts!
- 48 hours hits, and it's still letting me watch, hooray!
- Son resets router. I'm kicked out of the session. Prime wants $4 for me to continue. I am mad. I might never watch the second half because I am so annoyed.
- Three days pass.
- Requests DVD from library.
- Eight days pass.
- I'm back! Restarts!
- Finishes!!!!!!!!!!

I watched this because I feel like I don't like Joaquin Phoenix, and this was recommended as a counterpoint to that. I don't mind him here, so I guess I don't dislike him after all. Honestly my main takeaway is that I LOVE Josh Brolin. I always liked Josh Brolin, but this has awoken something new. Josh Brolin. Funny and hot. Those bananas? When he eats all the weed? I don't know, man, but I'm into it.

Also, I love Martin Short but I do NOT want to watch him make out with a Pretty Little Liar. I loved him in this, but those few seconds were not pleasant.
