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

[VinylGuy]

Took me three viewings to really like Inherent Vice, kind of expecting the same with this given it’s also Pynchon.

oh fuck yeah

[Simple Torture]

I’ve never read Vineland, this might be a good reason to.

Thought something was a little off about the look of One Battle After Another. Googled it and found it was shot using VistaVision (and apparently The Brutalist was too?)

That's a good thing, right? Higher-resolution film with a larger image area? I saw a video of Brady Corbet talking about using it and it looked cool and seemed like it was worth the extra effort.

yes yes yes yes yes yes

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 don’t know the tech but I had the same thought. Looked almost motion blur-like it how it presented some of the shots a little too realistic, like the film Magic was missing.

vista vision has nothing to do with frame rate, which i thought looked normal

please refrain from questioning PTA's aesthetic choices

[lennytheweedwhacker]

Sorry which movie?

Powder

[Ello Sailor]

Sorry, my excitement was based solely on Benicio del Toro

[lennytheweedwhacker]

And really, why shouldn't it be?

[VinylGuy]

im on the fence mainly because its based on a Pynchon novel.
