Would you or anyone else be gushing if this didn't have P.T. Anderson's name attached?


Don't get me wrong, I like him as much as the next guy, but you can't tell me that you would be so impressed if it were someone else.

dex14

Yes.

And the same could be said for majority of directors everyone jizzes for.

Dr. DVD

Also, anyone else distracted by how much Phoenix looks like Wolverine?

Coral

PTAs name being attached to it made it extra gush-worthy because I can already envision his feel/hands on the film based on what I saw in the trailer.

Oh man, this just looks flat-out awesome. Loved the final bit in the trailer with Phoenix trying to pull some moves before passing out.

So how difficult would it be for a New York area person to get into the screening at the film festival, which is coming up here shortly?

I assume it would be quite the trick to pull that off.

E Unit

Martin Short? I'm fucking in. This looks like it's more entertaining than everything else I've seen from him, so I'll check this out.

GoldenJCJ

Little Neddy Goes to War is a classic!

Hazel Motes

Paul Thomas Anderson, Hayao Miyazaki and Space Jam 2. Martin Short is having an interesting year.

Crocker Jarmen

I dislike P.T. Anderson but the movie in the trailer looks like something I can't wait to see. I hope because this is an adaptation there will be an actual story instead of PT being obfuscating to the point that he's disrespectful of the audience.

Sean O'Hara

You mean if it were merely an all-star cast in an adaptation of a Thomas Pynchon novel? Yeah, people would be hyped.

If you had bought them when individual tickets went on sale, fairly easy... unless their system crashes. You could try the rush lines, but I doubt many would get in off of that for one of the main features.

Looks like PTA is going back to his pre Punch Drunk Love ensemble cast Robert Altman style. Where are Luis Guzman, Philip Baker Hall & John C. Reilly?

DaveyJoe

Yeah he usually has Philip Seymour Hoffman in there as... oh.

Troy Stiffler

I don't get it. Is Philip Seymour Hoffman OK?

Lebowski Wolverine

RichC2

Very divisive reviews, it sounds like Big Lebowski 2.0 -- but it sounds like another muddled flick:

This film actually looks pretty good. I am not a big fan of his other movies (I am still waiting for Magnolia to end) but I might go see this if it plays around here. Probably end up having to wait for BD though.

Imail724

I think he looks just like Joe Cocker in the 60s.

Hazel Motes

Does anyone know who is narrating the trailer? I keep thinking it's Kelly Macdonald because it sounds a lot like her character in No Country For Old Men.

Greg MacGuffin

It's Joanna Newsom.

Troy Stiffler

If we're comparing to other movies, I expect this to be PT Anderson's The Long Goodbye.

Throwing Copper

This comes out in one week, but only on 5 screens. I guess the rest of us will have to wait until nationwide expansion on January 9.

DaveyJoe

Life is hard.

So basically it's frustrating, fascinating, narratively meandering, technically stunning, and full of nekkid people. Typical PTA .
