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

[tragabigzanda]

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.

Try subtitles next time, boomer.

I love this scene so much:

that scene and several others from THAT MOVIE crack me up.. you know what? Thanks trag, I had forgotten I OWNED this on amazon and I'm gonna give it a watch now. Been a long time and my wife hates it every time I try to make her watch it. So I'm gonna watch it here at work. With subtitles.

really hitting the spot for the mood i'm in.. following the plot closely this time; rewinding when necessary. Wayyy underrated movie; very entertaining

Just finished it. It makes perfect sense why this movie isn't very popular. It's perfectly its own thing. There's nothing wrong with it, but it's not for everyone. Not even me when I'm in the wrong mood. Right mood this time and it's great.

I really think it helps if you read the subtitles and at least try to follow the plot

Tried Inherent Vice last night, only my second time since the theater. Really didn't like it then. Found much more to enjoy last night, but about halfway through I was still totally lost so I turned it off.

I think the convoluted plot would be easier to discern if you could actually hear all of Joaquin's dialogue, but it's pretty tough at times.

I suspect I could grow to love this movie after 3-4 more viewings.

i humbly suggest future viewings include finishing the movie

I humbly suggest you make my kid pancakes at 630am

Trag, use a waffle maker. Wayyy quicker, more convenient and even tastier, when you add in the recommended tbsp of Olive Oil and melt on some butter

Seems like that time of year again for a PTA ranking. Here's how I currently feel:

1. There Will Be Blood
2. Punch Drunk Love
3. Licorice Pizza
4. Boogie Nights
5. Phantom Thread
6. Inherent Vice
7. Magnolia
8. The Master

Still haven't seen Hard Eight.

1 through 6 are interchangeable, depending upon my mood at a given time, in a given moment of space and time
