PTA is a really interesting film maker. But I'm more torn on him than most. When he hits, he destroys. But he's got some misses. Certainly nothing that sinks him or detracts from his legacy as a filmmaker, though.

Just live in your fantasy and then you can continue to give me shit. And if I ever do see it, I'll keep my thoughts to myself so I don't burst your bubble.

Just pretend I've seen it and you are totally right.
i would love to know your thoughts on this one joe. Thats why im asking.

I do want to see LP. I'll get around to it eventually. I'm starting to settle a bit on my "irrational trepidation toward LP." I feel like I'm getting really close.

4. Punch Drunk Love
5. Boogie Nights
6. Magnolia
7. The Master
8. Inherent Vice

Still haven't seen Hard Eight.

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.
