Catch All PTA's Licorice Pizza Thread (Nov. 26, 2021)

[Simple Torture]

So at the end of Magnolia:

Spoiler: show

They wheel Earl out on a gurney, and then a dog gets wheeled out on a gurney. Are we meant to think that Frank kicked the dog to death like he threatened he would when he entered the house?

If so, that is by far the funniest thing in the movie.

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

no, there's a shot of it eating the drugs that Julienne Moore got from the pharmacy

You're right! Damn.

I'm rewatching all of PTA's movies before I see this new one (probably first week of January), and something funny I found is that one of my favorite things in both Boogie Nights and Magnolia is that Hoffman's acting in the background of shots is some of my favorite stuff in both movies.

Hoffman is maybe favorite actor of all time. Not a bad film. Even his bit parts are mesmerizing.

From Along Came Polly (absolutely hilarious) to befor the devil knows your dead and everything in between. mmm. *chefs kiss*

his scenes in PDL are incredible too. That little shake he does when he and Sandler are face to face, it's such a god-tier actor move.

Since I watched Magnolia like a month ago, PDL is next!

The only thing I recall thinking PSH didn't feel right in was Moneyball.

He’s great in that you weirdo

[lennytheweedwhacker]

Meh. And it's not him, just the role itself didn't really require much to me. I think more than a few actors could play that role as effectively as him. I can't say that about much of any other roles he's had. And he is easily one of my very favorite actors.

Yeah, he didn't have a lot to do here but this was good.
