Miracle Mile (1988), Thomas Pynchon sequence:
So, there’s this woman, early morning coming into the dinner, opens a suitcase, get’s Cliff Notes in Gravity’s Rainbow out, places the book on top of The Wall Street Journal, scans some lines from the book, checks the stock market on tv. Then all hell breaks loose —- but I’m not gonna tell you what happens in the movie, go see it.
I want those Cliff Notes.
