Title: PTA at the Sundance Labs
Post by: Ordet on June 30, 2011, 07:37:45 PM
the feature film program is celebrating it's 30 year anniversary the page is showcasing a growing collection of photographs recording the program's history through out the years. here are the ones i spotted so far of the man. there are two from the magnolia years when he attended as an advisor for the 2000 lab. and the black and white pic which is my favorite of what looks like a 14 year old paul at the 93 lab working on what would later become should have become sydney... which in a way it is. last one is a nice picture with his good buddy the late ted demme.

there's some other good pictures to check out, redford meeting tarantino is a noteworthy one.

I love the Ethan-Hawke-in-Reality-Bites hairstyle in the 1993 pic.

And by following the yellow brick road, you see Tarantino and Buscemi curling up by a fire, getting all cozy on a rug that really ties that room together.  http://www.sundance.org/photos/feature-film-30-years/#id=album-33&num=content-1331 (http://www.sundance.org/photos/feature-film-30-years/#id=album-33&num=content-1331)

If it were not for the presence of PTA, that might have been the dumbest documentary I've ever seen.

He couldn't score a bag of coke so the closest thing he could score was a big ass cup of coffee.

It's funny because modage does most of C&RV's scooping.

I thought it was more than once... in fact the phrase "a lot of coke" rings a bell. But I don't remember him getting too specific beyond that, like when he stopped, etc.

the failing Worm segment in magnolia turned him to coke. fact. just watch the filming of the Lamplighter diner scene in that moment where at one point he walks over to a booth to snort a rail he scored from Luis Guz.

Creative Screenwriting Interview (http://cigsandredvines.blogspot.com/1997/11/interview-creative-screenwriting-paul.html)

CS: How do you know how people on a coke binge talk?

PTA: I've done a lot of coke and had those insane conversations

Omg I got the phrase exactly right! Where's my prize? Do I get some coke?
