Does he only work with his homies? I mean i think it'd be cool if he worked with people like Leonardo DiCaprio. I know it sounds lame but he wanted to use Leo instead of Mark W. in Boogie Nights. But Leo wanted to make Titanic so.... i think it'd be awesome
I don't think PTA should ever stop casting John C. Reilly.
I want him to work with as much people as would be beneficially possible. Then he'd have a massive posse, and each movie wouldnt just be the same PTA players over and over. Although I think PSH and JCR need to be in all of them from here on out.
ive seen enough of seymore hoffman

It is hard to imagin a pta film without seymore hoffman.
still got to say he bores the shit out of me
it does make me ill how people go on and on about how scottie was so important to BN, Maybe they say that because they identify with him
you don't identify with him?
Quote from: bluyou don't identify with him?
nahhhh, i identify with louie guzman in BN , except my cock is huge
.
Exactly. Why else would she put up with all his weird quirks..........
I wouldn't say that PTA sticks with his posse or whatever. After all, he did cast Adam Sandler as a lead in one of his films.

oh okay. I see
I think pta should try a new DP.
No way man. Elswit's the shit.
nah, Elwsit isn't the shit. I've always felt he was the weakness for pta. Not that he's bad. But I think another DP could really add something more to him.

he IS the shit.i think he's one of the strengths of his films. they're fucking gorgeous. gorgeousity at it's finest... you are like a blind man wearing blue blockers.
Okay Scorcho, you're entitled to your opinion. But who do you think should sign on to PTA's crew, if not Elswit....??? Hmmmm? :roll:
I would have loved connie hall to shoot magnolia, and for some unknown reason I think he should maybe consider emmanuel lubezski. I just dont think Elswit is amazing. I looked up all his films on imdb and nothing strikes me as amazing. Sure things in Boogie Nights looked awesome, so did things in Magnolia, but I dont like the way he shoots night scenes. I'd just like to see pta try someone else to see what happens.
Fair enough.
Quote from: EL__SCORCHOnah, Elwsit isn't the shit. I've always felt he was the weakness for pta.
.... I respect your opinion on PTA trying someone different for once, but to say Elswit is a weakness for PTA is a pretty rough statement.
have to disagree. I love the elswit/pta combination, especially with magnolia. few movies make los angeles look so ugly and beautiful at the same time. the thing with conrad hall and some dps like him is that they want ever shot to look beautiful just for the sake of looking beautiful, not necessarily to help the narrative.
How dare you speak ill of Conrad Hall? Heretic!
conrad hall is a better dp than elswitt. however, elswitt's style suits pta's films better.

ok yeah, it's a pretty rough statement, i should have phrased it differently. I just think that since the movies are so great some people are giving everybody too much credit. Like just because Elswit, or the editor, or even the fucking key grips work with pta all the time, they're supposed to be these unbelievable talents. I dont think thats the case is all.

I think connie hall's famous for doing exactly what you claim he doesn't do.

scorcho you are so right, you dont even know it, brother.
I think P.T. A. should cast Geraldo. But only in a bit part.....Maybe three lines at the most. He could be sitting next to the main characters smiling.
Maybe P.T. A. could have him playing the role of the fry cook in a diner?
Maybe the waiter? Maybe one of the main characters could kick the crap out of him for bad service???? The possibilities are there!!! I can see it!!!!
Oh, to think of Geraldo and ooooh Tammy Faye Baker!!!!! They could be an odd couple, kicked around, down on their luck in Manatoba Wisconsin.
The Manatobites could be pleading with Geraldo for a coveted green stone and Tammy Faye could be the lucky lady who the Manatobites want, with the stone....But then Geraldo swings in on a rope and catches her with a kiss.......it could work.....and then there will have to be a midget who happens to be their tour guide slash conman.
