The Master

Ah, well that would explain it. Did you see Magnolia? I would recommend you give that a chance regardless of your thoughts on his other movies. You might even like Hard Eight, I don't know. In my opinion PTA's movies are sufficiently different enough that not liking them is explained by coincidence rather that distaste for his directorial style.

Sweeet I've been waiting for a movie about Scientology.

I haven't. I've only seen the three I listed. I'll keep your suggestions in mind, but I'm not making any promises.

I'm all for people watching more PTA, but honestly, I find it hard to imagine someone significantly disliking some of his films but loving others.

Looks like Jonny Greenwood from Radiohead is doing the soundtrack. Could this be any better?

PTA is a really talented director. I've liked everything by him thus far. At any rate, I'm just relieved that this made it off the ground to begin with. The Scientologists were really trying to shoot this down for awhile there in the initial stages of development.

New trailer out. Good god, I want.. I want real bad.

I see OT being between this and Djano unchained for best film of the year

Cryptic!

You know, I really like Boogie Nights and There Will Be Blood, and I'm a fan of his short Coffee & Cigarettes... but I just can't stand Magnolia. Can't stand it.

The film is such a grueling, self-serving emotional gauntlet that I ended up feeling nothing when I finally reached the end. It was still mining me hard for tears long after I had moved, emotionally speaking, from "This is heart-wrenching and important" to "I really want some Funyuns."

P.T Anderson is one of the best directors to come out of Hollywood in the last two decades. He hasn't made a bad film yet. This could get him that academy award and Phillip Seymour Hoffman his second.

Can't wait to see this. It looks absolutely stunning.

I still have my reservations about this one, but the more I see the more I think I might actually enjoy it.

Really looking forward to this! The official trailer looks awesome.

I'm completely excited too. This looks really interesting. With the exception ofThere Will Be Blood I've loved everything Anderson has done and I really liked two-thirds of that movie.

I saw on the telly that Tom Cruise had a private screening of the movie and was apparently not entirely pleased.

Is that surprising at all?

No, not surprising, just interesting in a "I'd like to have been a fly on the wall for that" type of way.

I can't feel but want to picture Tom Cruise being in this film somewhere..

Jesus Christ. I want to roll Joaquin's performance into a little ball and consume it.
