Trivia

Fuelled by comments Josh Brolin gave to the New York Times, rumors persist that notoriously reclusive author Thomas Pynchon made a cameo appearance somewhere in the film, which would be the first time Pynchon has been willingly publicly photographed since the late 1950s. The most common theories are Pynchon appears as one of the following: the patient being served soup by a shaky patient in the Chroskylodon Institute (this is actually an actor named Charley Morgan ), a dentist in the scene at Golden Fang Headquarters, or the man who passes by the window behind Doc (Joaquin Phoenix) and Coy (Owen Wilson) as they talk at the Spotted Dick party.
