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

So, still haven't seen this (sorry Argo) but I've read some about it and haven't seen anyone mention why it's called Licorice Pizza. Then on a podcast the other day someone mentioned how that used to be a record store in LA back in the 70s. I think that's fun. Is that in the movie?

I don't think so but I like the title anyway. It's evocative and fits the movie, captures a vibe

Sounds pedaristic.

You're thinking of the porn parody, Lick-orice Peepee-zza

You guys don't remember the scene in Licorice Pizza when the whole gang got together and shared a licorice pizza!? That was the best scene in the whole movie! So many hilarious, classic moments. Oh, what a gang that was. The Licorice Pizza Gang and all their shenanigans. Gotta love 'em, or, well, as they say in the movie: "Or else!" Hahaha, classic!

Goonies did it first

I knew it was trash.

[VinylGuy]

remember when you posted in eeeevery thread

¨ey guys i might go to the cinema to see Licorice Pizza tonight¨

Key word = might. I've since realized it's trash and will not be worth my limited time.

trash? wtf you are so wrong.

It's just a bunch of fat kids with body odor.

Thats RM:the early years

The wink at the camera from the little kid as he was about to eat the pizza was too much but I guess it’s needed to understand why the title

Okay that makes sense and it's starting to click with me enough to go see it this weekend. Do you guys think I should?

I laughed way more than I was expecting. So funny. I also cried. This movie is fantastic. Looking forward to a re-watch already.

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.

i might watch it again this week

He really captured magic... god damn.. those two lead actors.. just adds to the charm that cooper is who he is and putting everything into perspective that way.. and how he knows everyone like family, cooper and the haims

I knows it's fresh but I think I'd rank this above Punch Drunk Love, as much as I love that movie

[Jorge]

A beautiful movie
