I'm not a fan of Inherent Vice much but it will inspire lots of fun fan art and/or official stuff... like this banner poster starring Katherine Waterston as "Shasta Fay". (Her hair is filled with secrets characters.)

Before seeing the movie, I thought this suggestion/denial tactic was legal cover to deter Scientology’s litigious appetite that at...
