Paul Thomas AndersonLicorice Pizza
>>214316448Cool atmosphere and soundtrack but probably his second worst film behind Hard Eight, hasn’t grown on me at all.
I have pretty low standards but I would NOT have sex with that chick
>>214316448the only reason shy was cast is because her mother was pta teacher when he was a kidthis movie was pta coomer fantasy
His new movie is out this month and has no hype
>>214316845Stop saying this. It's not true. Why are you making up nepobaby stories for Hollywood of literally all places? There are thousands of real ones.
PSH's son looks like a dumb retard, can he act?
>>214316908i'm a huge PTA fan and his new movie looks terrible. might skip it, if i see it, it will because my friends want to. I hope i'm surprised but I'm reading Vineland and it sucks. this is just a race swapped Vineland. Loved Licorice Pizza though so who the fuck knows
pretentious title, will never watch
>>214316959>loved licorice pizza
>>214316719That was one of the things that threw me off in the movie. He's a fairly well known teen actor and this chick becomes his oneitis. The waitresses at the Japanese restaurant were hotter and they wanted him, the stewardess was hotter and she wanted him and some of the friends his age were hotter and yet he still acts like she's some goddess. I think PTA was doing the same thing as Rian Johnson and cast some girl that looked like his crush in high school just because he can.
>>214316967yeah and what about it? do you have anything meaningful to add because i don't get the problem with liking LP
>>214316929It's the truth paulAlso pta was also a fucking Nepo baby lol
>>214317006i think young PSH liked Alana whatever their names were in the movie but he did chad shit like ignoring her while she was in a bikini for a younger girl. I think it was just a good match. Love the end, i won't spoil it in case you dudes haven't seen it. I do agree there was probably some PTA wish fulfillment but i think the movie was good despite it
>>214317007It's his worst movie
>>214316960It's named after a record store / video store in Los Angeles he liked as a kid. How is that pretentious? It's a bit on the nostalgic side, but not pretentious. There is only one Licorice Pizza still open last time I checked. It's around Studio City, wouldn't be surprised if Paul Thomas Anderson is one of the investors.
>>214316929I love PTA, but he himself is a nepo baby. lisdten to his interviews. his dad was semi-famous and he got drunk with a bunch of actually famous people in the valley back in the day. if you don't think that helped him you are retarded
>>214317034i thought inherent vice was his worst movie. what did you not like about it? we can discuss if you want. I'm coked out rn i'll be up for a while lol
>>214317032The girls not that bad, but his other options were way better. And it's not like she had a great personality, she was pretty flaky and stuck up. I guess it's one of those love is strange scenarios, but the other girls were way hotter and seemed nicer. But it is a great movie and they do sort of compliment each other.
>>214317062I just hated the main lead. Guess that was the point but felt both leads had no chemistry and I was bored as shit watching it. Also coke is a waste of money
>>214317062>I'm coked out rnIs that you, Paul? I thought your coke days were over after hanging out with Tarantino and Fincher way too much back in the day.
>>214316448Say what you want but it was something ORIGINAL.
>>214317006The hot waitress is Spielberg's daughter
>>214317112i wish i was paul bro i'm just a loser who bought two bags of coke this week. it goes great with booze. women like it too but i'm alone tonight obviously. >>214317107fair you don't have to like it. maybe coke is a waste of money. i like it but have no argument against your statement. >>214317084i agree with you mate, his other options were probably better but fuck it, it was destiny. also just happy to have a happy movie come out of the covid era
>>214317050I'm not saying PTA himself isn't a nepobaby but he had zero connection to that chick and her family other than simping for her because he liked her band. He got someone to introduce him at a party, invited her and her sisters over to his house and then ended up directing a bunch of music videos for them.>>214317024>It's the truth paulIt's not.

He got someone to introduce him at a party, invited her and her sisters over to his house and then ended up directing a bunch of music videos for them.did you not know that their mother was PTA's teacher back in the day? He also said he had a crush on their mom? I'm ok with it but it's kind of a closed garden effect. He directed her well though I liked her in this even if that's not a popular opinion. I guess it's not nepotism per se just PTA working with his grade school teacher crush's kids and his favorite actor's kid. I don't mind that either. We might not be disagreeing desu
>>214317230Show me one source for this.

>>214317253Okay, I was wrong.
>>214317269it's all good buddy honestly i don't care these thing are weird. i'm just bitter i'm not a director desu kek i
>>214317287>i'm just bitter i'm not a director desu kek
>>214317324thanks fren hope i can give it back to you someday
>>214316448It's funny Tarantino cast Damian Lewis as Steve McQueen but PTA cast Sean Penn.
>>214317444checked but i think sean penn was supposed to be william holden?
>>214317006>I think PTA was doing the same thing as Rian Johnson and cast some girl that looked like his crush in high school just because he can.The Haim sisters' mom is PTA's real life teacher who he had a crush on.
>>214317508Kek. Just saw the picture and she looks just like the mom. He fucking one-upped Rian Johnson.
