Lee Marvin was the portrait painting hanging above Jack and Meg White. It was a bit obstructed though.

P.T. Anderson made a short student film called Cigarettes and Coffee

ODB was mentioned in the scene where Wu Tang meets Bill Murray, i can't remember exactly but i think they said he was no longer allowed in the restaurant for some reason

I'm supposed to do a thriller at Universal.But they want Charlton Heston to play a Mexican.

The portrait of Lee Marvin wasn't obstructed at all.
Did you watch a different version of this film? Perhaps one that was GOOD?

The people you idolize wouldn't like you.

Ol' Dirty Bastard is mentioned in Delirium as "Dirt Dog" and "Dirty". RZA and GZA say it's because of him they can no longer smoke weed in the café.

PTA because they mentioned Alfred Molina was in Boogie Nights. Incidentally, PTA also made a short film in 1993 called Cigarettes & Coffee.

Vivien Westwood is a British designer who designed the coat Steve Coogan was wearing in Cousins? I think all the others have been answered now.
