Actually for some reason those scenes with the Asian ladies go right over my head each time. I had to ask my wife what was going on and she came out looking dumber than me. Can you explain it to me?

The "Jew nose" comments came across like compliments to me... am I wrong about that?

Yeah, the agent says it's good her nose looks like that because she gets a lot of requests for that kind of nose. She doesn't say it's a bad thing.

Doesn't Paul Thomas Anderson just look like a Guy in Your Film School, though? And what's with the three names anyway?!

I certainly wouldn't take him seriously if he only had two names

This is a superb video essay about the movie. It provides a good perspective to combat the silly idea that the narrative is meandering and often meaningless.

God damn I loved this movie. I keep thinking about renting it again to give it a third watch and I've been listening to the soundtrack a ton.

I think it's probably overtaken TWBB for the top spot on my PTA list.

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.

This was pretty good, Sean obviously has some great takes. I'm always down for TWBB content.

Yeah I’m halfway through and Sean is in his glory. :lol:
As much as TWBB doesn't resonate with me, this is a really great listen.
