t-that's him?

>>7736500
word is the cameo never happened. of course people speculated that he was one of the doctors in the asylum, but that was disproven. this is a pretty good bid, but I'm inclined to think it's all a ruse

>>7737291
The whole thing was never even confirmed. Its a rumour that spread like fire that never had any foundation

>>7737291
well him being a dentist would be a cheeky reference to his big teeth insecurity allegedly making him avoid photographs

His cameo is when Doc is at the house talking to Owen Wilson. A number of people walk by in the window behind them, all young and appropriate extras to be the at the house. Then somebody out of place walks by, an older gentleman, right when Joaquin Phoenix is staring directly at the camera.

You can probably find a reference to something no matter what part he plays

Compare it to this actual photo of Pynchon, not the age speculation picture, and you see the similarities.

>>7737344
tell me the reference in this

What is that from and why is it tiny?

>>7737525
there's a huge uncensored version somewhere

i have it saved but can't find it

some journalist tracked him down and pinecone told him to fuck off when he tried to shake his hand and take his photo

>>7737338
that's definitely him.

>>7737525
It was published in the Sunday Times (http://web.archive.org/web/19990418082004/http://www.suntimes.co.za/1998/06/07/lifestyle/life01.htm) and was taken from a distance.

Allegedly, he had a surgery to correct those

nah, that's Sloterdijk

>>7741501
Does he actually have a mustache here?

I'm inclined to believe the pic in OP is actually Pynchon if he did indeed have a cameo, if only because the shape of his head and ear look similar to the photos we've seen. The only thing that doesn't add up is his hair. According to Salman Rushdie, Pychon has a big mop of Einstein-like white hair, nothing like in OP's picture.

>>7737338
Looks a bit young to me. Hair too dark. Too fat.

>>7741501
He looks pissed off

kek

Btw I've definitively found the Pynchman's cameo in Inherent Vice, it's toward the end. Pic related! :)

>>7741681

It's cuz he was. Photoghrapher took a surprise picture of him and his kid.

Don't be fooled. This is the real Thomas Pynchon. He orchestrated the whole thing.

Holy shit, kek'd hard. Good eye, anon.

>Pychon has a big mop of Einstein-like white hair, nothing like in OP's picture.

yea it's impossible for him to get a haircut too

>>7741681
He literally told the photographer to 'fuck off' and refused to shake his hand

>>7737338
the weird thing in this scene is how the man looks inside, there's a silence when he passes and there's too much focus on him and if i remember correctly he appears two times walking by the window

the guy in OP looks a lot like him though, the shape of his head and profile, and him being a dentist is kinda funny in a Pynchon way i guess

>>7741717
yeah window guy would be too obvious

>>7741702
He could have, I don't know about that obviously. But since Rushdie specified Pynchon's hair was white, he would also have to had it dyed before filming.

Considering he hasn't had his buckteeth fixed (at least not when Rushdie met him), he's probably not a very vain man, so I think it's unlikely he would go through the trouble of getting his hair cut and dyed just for a second of screentime, or for whatever other reason for that matter.

But then again, can't be sure.

Why can't you just leave him alone?

You are retarded.

You're seriously relying on whether Rushdie specified white vs gray? Rushdie met him in the 90s for fuck's sake. Around the time of Vineland.

Does this picture fit your perception of Thomas Pynchon?

>>7741737
> Pinecone hasn't gotten his hair cut in 20 years!

lmao

I'm not saying you are wrong, per se. I was just reasoning using the limited facts available to me.
