cjw

Thanks! Nice title for the site

that is one handsome website , i like the xixax link at the bottom of the bar.
congratulations! :salute:  :salute:  :salute:

looks lovely.

Nice little news item there.  One thing: "Half remembered" should have a hyphen in it.



SCATTER!  IT'S THE GRAMMAR POLICE!!!

you know, that's really great, thanks man.

yay!  :yabbse-thumbup:

I'm confused. There's a cool cigs and red vines icon but it just says coming soon...

Quote from: Ultrahip Lobster SupperI'm confused. There's a cool cigs and red vines icon but it just says coming soon...

yeah, i see the same as well

Oh, man.  Are you serious?  You guys are totally missing out!  It's awwwesome!

Mmm...salt in the wound...

Quote from: PwaybloeOh, man.  Are you serious?  You guys are totally missing out!  It's awwwesome!

damn you all!!

and the horse you rode in on!

why does it say the site is not endorsed by pt anderson when he gave it his blessing?

Quote from: themodernage02why does it say the site is not endorsed by pt anderson when he gave it his blessing?

it is unofficially christened by mr. pta
the only way the site could be endorsed by him is if it was official, which it isn't.  'not endorsed' is more of a legal thing than anything else

and regarding the status of the site, it should be ready very soon.  we have been working feverishly converting the 150+ articles, removing garbage bits of code from them left over from the old site and getting new things ready

the only section that won't be ready for opening will be the feature films section

three words:
it's open, bitches

It's not working for me.

refresh it up?  maybe you should be a little more specific in what isn't working

i can breathe again.

haha, love the sickkk drawings and non-capitalization! this is lovely.

There it goes.  haha.. I love the pictures on Articles & Interviews.

(https://xixax.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.paulthomasanderson.com%2Fimages%2Fpaul%2Fbnhe%2F15.jpg&hash=d7e88b15779145139f1d6a7ced14bf6006266457)

Wha?  hahaha..

Non capitalization is so emo.

Which I suppose is why I love it.

The design is perfect. If anything, more drawings! But too much of a good thing might be too much of a good thing, as the saying goes. The article archive is a beautiful sight to behold.

The red vines thing makes me think of War Of The Worlds, though.

fuckin sweet :!: it looks beautiful ... condoms... plungers....awesome....

to bluejay and sickfins: thank you and great job :yabbse-thumbup:  :yabbse-thumbup:

aaah! it's still just the icon!

You have to click on it, genius.

I don't really like the design but it's the content I'm concerned about.  Thanks for the resurrection.

we should do another xixax interview.  it's been a while and it would be sweet to get something exclusive up on the site, eh!?  what happened to the 'maybe sooner than we think' adventure movie?  if that doesnt resurrect this site, then there is no hope!

Quote from: themodernage02what happened to the 'maybe sooner than we think' adventure movie?  if that doesnt resurrect this site, then there is no hope!

i think that's the oil story.

GoneSavage, I bet you're overweight.

was he right?

I can see the light!

They roam around at night.

the site looks incredible!

way to go :yabbse-thumbup:

on behalf of fish and myself;

thanks

we are working quickly on feature films, but as you might imagine, each film is a massive undertaking...

stay tooned

just wanted to tip a hat to a new resource.  

thanks guys.

I saw this joke on the IMDB message boards....

"What's the difference between P.T. Anderson and Stanley Kubrick?

My ass."

....I don't get it.

isn't it in reference to Kung-Pow,
Master Betty:

QuoteI have been called bad before. Many have said I do things that are not correct to do. I don't believe in talk such as this. I am nice man, with happy feelings. All of the time. First, a joke. What do you get when you cross an owl with a bungee chord? My ass. Nyah, haha, haha, haha, ENOUGH.

It's an old joke.  Steve "Thumbfucker" Oedekerk is not the boss of it.  It can be applied to nearly any situation.

From literature: "What's the difference between a raven and a writing desk?  My ass!"

Witty and hilarious.   :bravo:

Oh my. This is one of the most beautiful things I've seen.

:yabbse-grin:

doesn't work..

question: are all the articles and videos still on there?

HA! check out who bought "ptanderson.com"

haha, i love that site!

Didn't Greg used to have ads for cigarettes on his site? I always thought that was kind of funny.

Quote from: Stefenhaha, i love that site!

Didn't Greg used to have ads for cigarettes on his site? I always thought that was kind of funny.

yes, and a massive amount of them, in fact. "CHEAP CIGARETTES ONLINE" etc.

I like this site design more than the old one.

Questions answered:

Q: It doesnt work?
A: MWills from MadDancer sent me an email saying their server had a mad case of the digital herpes and we would be up soon. We have to re-upload everything today, it should be back up by tonight...

Q: Articles and videos?
A:The articles are all there, mass amounts of time were spend re-formatting them and getting rid of imdb links and random code...videos will be up soon, the feature films section is a mass undertaking of re-organization and chaos...

Q: Cigarette ads?
A: Yes, Greg had them up. Cig companies were upset that typing in CIGARETTES into google, brought up the pta site first all the time, so they paid him a ton of jack to put up text links on that page, and then when he no longer wanted to run the site, he sold one domain to the highest cig bidder, and the other to me.

Q: I like this design more than the old one
A: We like you too.

cool, now it works, as your answer has.. answered.
the design is definitely better.
it's all in the boogie nights condom.

Cigarettes and Red Vines is an Aimee Mann reference.. for those that didn't know.
love that song.

paul thomas anderson directed boogie nights, for all who didn't know.

i didn't know but was scared of asking :oops:

edit: about cigs & red vines , really.

he also directed magnolia, punch-drunk love, and hard eight which was originally called Sydney.

and Resident Evil for those who didn't know

and Resident Evil starred Milla Jovovich, who was in Fifth Element with Gary Oldman, who was in JFK with Kevin Bacon.

the site name choice came from it being very close to the old "cigarettes & coffee", but (more importantly) "cigarettes & red vines" has been heavily rumored, and never denied, to be about paul. (in case you didnt know)

** aimee mann, who is married to michael penn who starred with john c reilly who was in emmeffin river wild with kbacons BAM **

just thought i'd mention it cause no one else did.
what did i say that was so wrong?
or am i imagining this pathetic sarcasm?

AND michael penn is sean penn's brother, for all who didn't know.

Quote from: noyesjust thought i'd mention it cause no one else did.

or am i imagining this pathetic sarcasm?

don't worry about it, I didn't know about the reference either.

Quote from: noyes

You aren't imagining it, get used to it. It's a trademark of xixax.

Quote from: noyes

You aren't imagining it, get used to it. It's a trademark of xixax.

i can get used to it,
but what i can't get used to is how it just stemmed out of nowhere.
did i, in your eyes, come off as arrogant, elitist, fuckfaced? i don't get it.
god forbid i let someone know where the site subtitle comes from
god forbid they go out and buy an aimee mann record and end up seeing her at The Fillmore or wherever the fuck.
"it's a trademark of xixax"
and every other board on the net, unfortunately.
i thought this place was different.
i didn't expect anyone to be a random ass like that.
now i know the rules.

Dude, it was just a little joke that barely branched off what you said.  Don't be so full of yourself it was hardly directed towards you.

hardly directed towards me.. yet you mimicked what i said. right.
alright Dude.. i'll take your word for it.

Quote from: noyeshardly directed towards me.. yet you mimicked what i said. right.

now you're getting the hang of the pathetic sarcasm...

Quotenow you're getting the hang of the pathetic sarcasm...

hah...

Yup, all sounds just about right over here at ol' xixax.  noyes meet p.  That's just how he introduces himself, and you'll realize later why his personality is the way it is.  
Next time just get him back, Rufio.

he introduced himself awhile ago.

it was a harmless running gag. we do that to entertain ourselves.

u'll know when it's hostile, see: JimmyGator. if anything, crono came out as the butt of the joke, inadvertently (or not!).

i think it would help if you change your username...granted there are a lot of pta fanboys here but the fact that your's is directly pta affiliated makes it cheesy and people may not take you seriously....

hahaha..i forgot about that guy

i like the new sassy PTanderson.com...

jon brion is interviewed at mtv here about his work on kayne west's new album, complete with maybe the funniest picture of him ever.

and

expect to see walhberg in a string of crappy movies as he recently said he was quitting show business before he turns 40 to use the last years of his career to make as much money as possible to raise his daughter.

ouch!

from c&r

Quote"Mark Walhberg has banned his baby daughter from ever watching his raunchy performance in Boogie Nights."

How can annyone withhold the greatness that is Boogie Night. She'll find it sooner or later...

No, no.  He said Boogie Nights.  She will not be deprived of the masterpiece that is Boogie Night, that will surely not be the case.
In short,
Boogie Nights - Banned for life from
Boogie Night - unlimited viewings are opened to

hey, crono and i liked it too, isn't that amazing?

no. i'd like to see it, though. read/heard good things.

quite nice interview, quite nice... nice little tid-bit from him at the end about the future.  Would have liked to have heard a bit more about Oil! than Punch-drunk love, but it's cool.
Sweet little treat indeed, friends.

yeah, very nice, sweet interview.  Downfall is great; it gives the nazi film a whole new and different face

Quote from: Pubrick

Quote from: Hedwiganyway interesting to hear he liked "Downfall"...very interesting.

shh, hear that?  its the sound of Downfall flying up to the top of 100 Netflix Queue's (including mine).  

Quote from: POZERWould have liked to have heard a bit more about Oil! than Punch-drunk love, but it's cool.

paul will not say anything about oil until he wants to.  any question asked would have been meet with a cryptic response

Elaborating upon my original suggestion that the site needs more of those beautiful drawings, I think you should illustrate all future PTA interviews.

Quote from: sickfinspaul will not say anything about oil until he wants to.  any question asked would have been meet with a cryptic response

Great little q&a guys, as I was reading I just realized that asking him that question would lead you to a downfall, I'm just glad that at the end he said he will get back to work and we could expect something next year.

Quote from: Pubrick

Quote from: Hedwiganyway interesting to hear he liked "Downfall"...very interesting.

God knows I've been waiting months for this movie to be released here and it hasn't, and I blame Cron for it.  :yabbse-angry:

Yes, of course.  They were all well designed questions, and there would have been no point in asking... just tishful winking.

good interview, interesting to hear PSH really DOES do his own stunts

Quote from: Finngood interview, interesting to hear PSH really DOES do his own stunts

Another lie a la the Diggler appendage.

We proved unequivocally a while back that it is in fact a stunt double. Was that a Xixax thread?

at least i'm not alone anymore for cementing "Downfall" the best thing by far to have come out lately.

Quote from: The Gold Trumpetat least i'm not alone anymore for cementing "Downfall" the best thing by far to have come out lately.

no, but u may be one of the few whose opinion on it can be considered legitimate after that interview.

i know i'm a freak and this was probably asked a page ago but i just re-read it and does "I promise something next year." mean a PT ANDERSON PICTURE in theatres in 2006, or it means he will have something in the works concretely by then.  i know i'm a fanboy, but damn i just caught a few minutes of boogie on hbo and jeezus do i miss him.

Wow, I am behind on my PTA news.

Quote from: PTAGood luck, thanks for the questions and the patient wait for us to get started on a new movie. I promise something next year. Back to work!

November or December release date and he'll start shooting in February of 2006. That's my guess.

Read that quote carefully.  He might just mean he promises to get the movie started next year.  But me, I'm a pessimist, so...

interpret it as
concrete news about the new movie anytime but this year
that is all

Quote from: sickfinsinterpret it as

crap....

cool interview with rance.  is there any chance in hell we might see a brion interview in the near future?

I thought I was the only one.

Quote from: modagecool interview with rance.  is there any chance in hell we might see a brion interview in the near future?

i second this request!

boom

www.cigarettesandredvines.com

there was a bit of a happening.  words were spoken.  our domain has changed, but we are still good old cigarettes and red vines.  everything will be free and smooth from now on, we promise.  update your bookmarks again and tell all your friends...again.  we heart you all

(the server will be up in a few hours)

if everything goes well, a brion interview is something to look forward to

Quote from: sickfinsif everything goes well, a brion interview is something to look forward to

YOU ARE #1!  :yabbse-grin:  :yabbse-thumbup:  :yabbse-grin:

Kick ass.

Quote from: sickfinsthere was a bit of a happening.  words were spoken.

this seems like good gossip.

and

is charlie kaufman making fun of pta?

without getting too specific, the domain change had nothing to do with the relationship with paul and ourselves, so it's not really to gossip-y that way.

it was a ghost from the past. this scandel will all be revealed on a vh1 special one day, i assure you.

believe me/us, getting everyone to switch and marketing a new domain name once was exhausting enough, but now having to do it again gives us the sads.

losing that domain is a bummer.  

ey, what can ya do.  still a good site.

im by no means computer literate -

whenever i try opening an icon I get the following message:

the file "splash.htm" couldn't be opened. stop tampering with the php script

any suggestions?....

we're still struggling to put humpty dumpty back together again after moving domains.  there are many loose cords and we're doing our best while getting all this new stuff organized

try again in a day or so, hopefully it will be resolved by then

So, um, what do cigarettes (other than being part of the title of his short film) and "red vines" have to do with the filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson?

just wondering.

Read page 4 of this thread.  All will be revealed....

as i understand it, the song was written for/about paul
it's full of expressions he uses and things he does

I'll have to look for that song.

so much new shit is swinging from the vines.
have a look if you'd like.

Funny, I was listening to that Ray Charles album when I read that.

his dvd reccomendation,  three godfathers", just came out on DVD as a target exclusive (along with "mogambo")  I believe they are playing "three godfathers" on TCM sometime in the near future.  btw, it is an incredible movie, really one of ford's best in my opinion.

i'm not sure but i don't think it's the Ford version he was talking about. according to imdb, that one was released in 1948. cigarettesandredvines.com says "three godfathers (1936)," which was directed by Richard Boleslawski.

hedwig, it looks like you're right about the version of "Three Godfathers" that pta reccomends.  I didn't look at the date...all that I read was "christmas western", which Ford's version certainly is.  Appearantly the 1936 movie is the penultimate filming of the same story.  I still reccomend the 1948 version though.   

:in response to the Ernie Anderson sounds over at C&R:

I always wondered what made Paul write the line: "Why is every other word that comes out your mouth is "Cock-sucker", "Shit-balls", or "Fuck"?"...it always seemed, although very funny, very odd

...awww, how intimate...

In the latest Entertainment Weekly, Paul Haggis writes in his tribute to Robert Altman...

"I had the great honor of meeting Altman last year.  After the Oscars there's a group picture taken, and I got to stand a few shoulder-widths away.  It was truly the highlight of a great night.  When we were leaving, my friend Bennett Miller invited me to Paul Thomas Anderson's house for a quiet late-night drink.  I'd always wanted to meet Paul, so naturally I went.  And there, on the sofa, at 3 a.m., sat Robert Altman, his honorary Academy Award on the coffee table before him.  I honestly didn't know what to say- what do you say to a genius, someone you admire so much?  I opted for asking if I could get him a cup of coffee or a drink.  He said he was fine and asked where my Oscars were.  I said in the car.  I admired his- and the thought struck me that his looked taller.  He leaned forward and winked: "Mine is bigger, you know."

How Altman managed to suppress the urge to kick Paul Haggis' face in, I'll never know.  He was obviously a better man than I.

In big black font the poster read "There Will Be Blood". Like i mentioned, quasi news. i've been kind of geeking out since i saw it and wanted to share with people who were down."

Will Ferrell cracks up the Net
The comic, with a home-made online skit, is the latest celeb to take the Lonelygirl15 route to (more) fame.
Source: Los Angeles Times

Last week, Will Ferrell became the latest "real" celebrity to star in a homemade-looking Internet video. "The Landlord" is a genuinely funny two-minute movie in which Ferrell plays a layabout who is accosted by his angry landlady. The catch: Pearl, the landlady, is played by a 2-year-old.

"I want my money!" she shrieks at Ferrell's character, then taunts him with a string of unprintable invectives.

Pearl's lines, including her explanation of why she needs the money so urgently — "I need to get my drink on" — are helpfully subtitled.

After being posted on a new video site called FunnyOrDie.com, "The Landlord" quickly went viral and had scored nearly 1.6 million views as of this writing, piling on tens of thousands more every hour.

The questions, too, came fast and furious: What was this new video site, with a direct line to Ferrell's Internet debut? Was FunnyOrDie.com an industry shill set up to generate buzz for an actor with a major picture out?

And who was the toddler whose parents let her wield a beer bottle and swear up a storm?

Reached by phone, writer-director Adam McKay, Ferrell's longtime friend and collaborator (most recently they did "Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy" and "Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby"), confessed to being behind the video and insisted there was no corporate entity involved. "It's just us," McKay said. "That's the fun — this isn't brought to you by GE or Viacom or whoever."

The video took about 45 minutes to make, McKay said. "Will and I were just screwing around and it was like, hey, that's a good idea, let's film that."

McKay plays Ferrell's friend in the short and is also the father of Pearl (it's her real name).

According to McKay, the production company he co-founded with Ferrell set up FunnyorDie.com so they'd have an easy, fun way to showcase their short-form ideas as well as a place less-established filmmakers could come to show off theirs.

They've already shot several other videos, some featuring Ferrell and some McKay. "We put up our funniest one first," he said.

As for his daughter playing the dissolute landlord, McKay said it was no big deal. "She's in that phase right now where you can repeat anything to her and she won't remember it."

Jeff Stern, chief executive of the industry-friendly Net video site the Daily Reel, said there were going to be a lot more of these kind of videos from celebrities, because it's a low-risk, high-reward venture. "It's easy to do, it's fast, you don't have to go through a two-year development process in order to put something funny out that will get to a lot of people," he said. "You put something up that's three minutes long. If it works, great, if it doesn't work, it'll be overwhelmed by other things that do."

Earlier this month, Alanis Morissette's career got a boost after she posted on her website a parody of the Black Eyed Peas' "My Humps" — the one where Fergie brags about how men buy her expensive gifts because they like her "humps" and "lovely little lumps."

Morissette's version keeps the lyrics of the original but replaces the song's pounding bass line with melancholy piano, poking fun at the song's gratuitousness. It has become YouTube.com's biggest hit this month, with more than 5 million views.

But are celebrity viral hits a corporate train wreck waiting to happen? Won't Hollywood's need for control of its content eventually bump up against the near-impossibility of controlling anything once it's online?

Stern says that Hollywood is freaked by the unpredictability of viral video but that for now there's only one way to ride.

"You put it up," said Stern, "and see what happens."

BING!

Cj wallis: you're obnoxious and self aggrandizing. You make pta fans look like assholes. My recommendation is to focus a little more on news and less on waxing your own car, to use the man's expression.

"the event was only marketed/announced through this site and the castro webpage, so it was wonderfully fulfilling to know that a small chunk of the site's audience was standing in front of me freezing their asses off."  then: "i breezed past the line and was allowed in before you. now that's not very nice is it? i saw a bunch of you eating red vines. i told myself it was because of the site for self-serving egotistical reasons."

sal;

let us all take a step back please for one moment:

the term 'breezed past' was poorly chosen/unintentionally condescending - you are correct (and i will change it) but the rest is all in the usual spirit of mock-bravado-as-self-deprecation i/we've used since fully taking over the site years ago.

the site *was* the only place that announced the screening so as the essentially the site's co-founder -- seeing the sites fanbase standing in the freezing cold was wonderful to see because it showed how much you/we all care about paul and his films. it has nothing to do about me. the red vines line is clearly intended/is a joke.

every single person that was at this screening has their own personal rant, stories, experience they've shared on this board and to friends and family elsewhere whatever. mine, through being a friend of paul's, is considerably different and is written as such. people are going to come to the site to read what my experience/review/thoughts are knowing that my experience was different than almost everyone's there, which makes it news.

i am sorry you had a negative reaction to it.

cjw

i got it. 

Sal is probably pissed for not having seen the movie. Or, if he saw it, he's just pissed for waiting longer  :yabbse-grin:

C'mon man, relax.

i don't know about making us look like assholes, but he does make us look like bad spellers.

the word is "melancholy".

that pumpkins album single-handedly wiped out an entire generation.

cj, did you tell paul he could have a screening at a giant new york city movie palace and it didn't have to be over?  :yabbse-grin:

Im seeing it on the 12th with PTA, Dano and Day-Lewis in attendance for Q&A and reception. What Im pissed about is knowing there's a "part two" to that post on cigsandvines. I think Cj is doing a disservice for his site. I get that he is joking, but I am not laughing.

Just curious cigs&vines ppl, will you guys do a 1 on 1 interview with PTA? Although there are dozens of ints. out there yours are always great to read.

i concur.  i was waiting for this.

funny story.

the site has always always, instantly after production ends and before they go into editing we have done an interview with paul. we sent the questions and waited. it usually takes a little while due to vacations/calming down after filming etc etc. it was the thing we kept hinting towards that was major. and we are still waiting for those post-filming questions to be returned. the problem wasn't with paul...it was getting them to paul. he was in the middle of changing assistants, and new assistants are always weary of fucking up and on and on, so the questions were essentially/continuously ignored. it was frustrating for us, as you might imagine...

90% of the fun of those particular set of questions are substantially muted now because most of us have seen the film, so that particular interview was scrapped a couple months back. now pauls new assistant and i are comfortable with one another and are friends etc, so i will resubmit the interview idea once jeff and i come up with new questions in the next little bit.

cjw

might it be possible for xixax to round up a handful of questions for possible inclusion into this interview as well?

Water or vodka?

What's the name of the piece of music that plays starting at 1:40 in the first theatrical trailer? (The music that isn't referred to or listed anywhere on the internet.) Theriothly. A lot of people want to know.

Yikes...the more things change, the more they stay the same. God I love PTA, but the "red tape" can be brutal (hence my frustration and subsequent "throwing in of the towel".

That being said, I couldn't be happier for Paul, DDL and especially Robert Elswit. It's great to see their work being recognized.

he shouldn't be mad..he doesn't use the p.t. anderson monker anymore.....Paul and his peeps had a chance to buy both domain names..they didn't bite..I had every right to sell.....I love Paul's films, but him (and all the red tape around him) aren't the easy to deal with.....as I"m sure you've found out...

It would be nice if he'd get off his high horse, start doing commentary tracks again and quit going the Spielberg/Coen Bros route with his DVDs....

Anyways, all is good. Just want to make sure you aren't looking a gift horse in the mouth..

BTW, I'm very impressed that you got Last Flowers finished and it's receiving high praise. I always knew you had much talent and I"m extremely happy for you! I mean that from the bottom of my heart....kudos to you CJ!

thank you for the kind words about the short, i appreciate that a great deal.

as for everything else: clearly this has been a thread/discussion that is burning up the boards (last post was april last year?) so i'll keep my thoughts brief. there has been little to no red tape, aside from what i said before about making them re-friendly -- they have been absolute saints to deal with. and i remember taking out a loan to buy that gift horse; but i assure you i am not looking into it's mouth or any other place that is too obvious of a punchline to mention, heh.

owner emails us asking for money
i show him that we've paid. owner says we're wrong.
then they abruptly slap up the embarrassing/dreaded billing page

Also, what happened with your domain? I see it only expired yesterday, why do you want to completely change the name?

I see you said you hosted through hostinginsiders.com, but who is your registrar? Why are you unable to get the domain?

Is there any rough estimate as to when the site will be back up?  Thanks.

And may we have a link to xixax, please? Thank you.

the site is massive and needs to be re-organized so everything can be found instantly. once we figure out the shell, the rest falls into place. and yes, there will be xixax love. there is a blog in the meantime. i don't have an eta for the page, but it's a very busy end of the year and i need to have it up before i get swallowed away. so, sooner rather than later.

The site looks really really great.  I've been wanting to show one of my friends all of the deleted scenes from the 180 page version of Boogie Nights (with the entirely different ending and all the other stuff) for a while so I can't wait for that stuff to be back up!

I love the new design. I was so happy to discover cigarettesandredvines during the build-up to TWBB. A lot of great memories there, checking it practically every day. Which I still do, except the updates are few and far between lately (its to be expected due to the PTA news drought). Although, that should be changing in the next few months.

for those who care:
i sincerely apologize for the current state of the site. the last 3 months have been insane. i know i keep saying its almost done. but thats cuz it's almost done. my life goes from 10 to 3 after mid-march, at which point we will be doing the full re-launch a week or so afterwards...hopefully with a nice present to make up for the last little bit...just wanted to check in...

yay.

what's going on with the site?  no updates in months, the contact us link doesn't work and fortyfps.com is down too.  everything okay over there?

the beginnings of the finished site:
http://www.ptanderson.info

the news section has been uploaded/fixed as well

the other pages will be going up progressively over the next couple days
my sincere apologies that it got so bad

looks good. just a heads up, i'm sure this will be fixed when it's all put together properly but when i click the media. about, or projects sections i get a very squished and pixelated banner at the top of the screen. (the rest of the page looks fine).

also, the news/blog is being filled up and tagged with as many previous updates from the very beginning of the site's life in 1999
so far everything from day one until february 2000 are up
going to try to do a year a day until it is caught up fully as the rest of the site gets uploaded

Contest Details:
http://cigsandredvines.blogspot.com/2010/07/contest-win-6-videos-by-pt-anderson-dvd.html

that sounds great. i hope someone deserving wins it. and by deserving i mean one of us freaks.

and i don't think you have anything to worry about regarding the dvd going on ebay. for starters, since you have no "cover" (what little there was to begin with) the dvd would look just like a burned copy. so already it loses some value. secondly, as i've said before, the only people in the world who would consider paying more than $10 for this collection are the deadbeat freaks that regularly post in these boards.

and most of them already spent their life savings on those damn frogs.

as usual, you are correct sir. ps: if you make your way over to the vines facebook page and click the "others" filter - i think it'll be pretty tough for anyone to beat max, as he has clearly gone insane.

Max Watts is cheating! All his family members have his updates blocked (probably).

yeah. i think i need to rapidly figure out a max watts rule. i fear looking like a douche changing the rules mid-thing, but he has actually gone insane.

haha, yeah, I think max watts has it in the bag. Too bad. I know I can speak for a lot of us here that we've all been tempted to get it off of eBay just to have it in our collection. Next to the latex frog.

there are a couple twitter types that are making a bit of a push. max's friend is now trying to win it just to piss him off, which is absolutely hilarious to me. max vs ben, round one: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Cigarettes-Red-Vines/131531983542610

I guess Max just wants it more than anyone.

Same here.

hmm. i wonder if max's insanity has buggered up the tagging/message filtering. as you might have imagined, i didn't expect or plan for what has transpired so far today. i figured at most someone might do 2 or 3 an hour at most. i will do my best to stay on top of everyone's entries somehow.

so, wait, is the winner simply the douche bag who gets the MOST referrals?

i thought it was "randomly" chosen. that is your copout right there. there's still a "chance" that Max won't get it, the best he can do by being a fucking scumbucket is increase his "chances".

i did this same thing for a local council library's Wall-E giveaway. i just had to fill out a submission form as many times as i wanted, which included a small quiz on littering. the contest was clearly intended for children. well i spammed the fuck out of it and in the end i got the prize. HA, suckers. (prize was: a wall-e dvd, wall-e T-shirt, wall-e colouring pencils each with individual wall-e motif in a wall-e tin pencil case, wall-e mousepad, and a wall-e sticker sheet!)

the local council should have known better than to give away free PIXAR shit.

it is randomly chosen yes. max has now moved his operation to twitter. he is a madman.

Shooting in 65mm Without Elswit?
http://cigsandredvines.blogspot.com/2011/04/exclusive-pt-anderson-shooting-on-65mm.html

No Elswit? Wow. I can't even imagine. Elswit is such a big part of PTA's look. I actually hope this isn't true.

As for shooting in 65mm, I'm a technical dumbass, so what does this mean? What was everything else of his shot in? I just hope he keeps the 2:35.1 aspect ratio. The look of his films is one of the top 3 things I love about his movies (along with the writing and casting).

Crazy news. If this is true it's great hes trying to step it up a notch :yabbse-grin:

Quoteshowing PTA shooting tests and operating a 65mm camera used by Kubrick on 2001: A Space Odyssey ....

sorry for asking a stupid question but, does this mean that PTA is ACTUALLY using the same camera used by Kubrick nearly 50 years ago??

Also if so im pretty sure it's a 70mm camera and that the film negative is 65mm. Just reading what it says on the imdb page of 2001.

it is the actual camera yes!

Rest of the non speculative news is amazing and confirms his Kubrickian trajectory.

Someone can probably answer this more in depth, but basically you're shooting a larger image which gives you more information (and a higher quality image) and a shallower depth of field. It's great for those expansive, panoramic landscape shots cause you can keep expose it properly and keep a lot of the details in the image. As far as I know, shooting in 65/70 is only being used for imax stuff right now, so this is really exciting.

To my knowledge, everything else he's done has been shot on 35mm.

any chance on the real photograph popping up soon??

Now I'm have thoughts of Paul being bald with minimal facial hair.....

Something unlikely is this..

Quotesuggests that perhaps Paul was inspired by Nolan/Pfister

inspired by Nolan? :ponder:  

think is safe to say its Kubrick and always has been.

Haha yeah the email tipster sounds like modage with that inspired by Nolan bit.. eff outta here with that ish.

Also good call by that commenter: shaved head = it's on!

Rest of the non speculative news is amazing and confirms his Kubrickian trajectory.

haha, yeah, I didn't want to say it, but that Nolan bit was pure Modage.

PTA entering his Kubrick phase gives me a woody.

Lol at this article actually going more with the Nolan thing just because the "reader" thought so more.

I wrote that.   :yabbse-grin:

And thanks for the correction, P. Totally botched my memory of that video! I knew it was some nutty cult.  :yabbse-undecided:

no worries Mod but it seems ppl are losing their shit over that mistake even after it was fixed.

are you going to get fired?  :yabbse-undecided: :yabbse-undecided: :yabbse-undecided:

Gotdamnit Mod! Less time hanging off of Chris Nolan's nuts and more time fact checking! You screw up over there and it's an indictment on THIS place!

GAWD!

..........................Look, I'm sorry, it's just, we all gotta pay better attention. I know we're all under a lot of stress waiting for new PTA and we've been dicked around for so long and some of us are losing hope and feel it may never come but we all still gotta do our parts. New PTA should bring us together, not tear us apart!

Okay, alright, It's okay. It's not a big deal. Let's just try harder from now on. Now let's all get some sleep. It's late and it's been a long day. I'll see you at breakfast.

Ha, no not fired. I think I'm more embarrassed I fucked it up than anyone is upset about it. I'm just glad you caught it before somebody else did.

it makes or breaks it. i wouldnt be doing my job otherwise -- speaking of, almost all of our previously archived interviews with pta have been re-posted, linked and made available. i am doing the last few as we speak and update live, so hit refresh before re-investigating, www.ptanderson.info

soo ahhh.. shamelessly going to ask..

any chance on that real picture being posted here? get the internet to go nutz
could you get an ok from PT? :yabbse-grin: :oops:

*enjoying your new updates for cigs & red vines  :yabbse-grin:

Holy crap, they're friends? Why didn't I know this? This is even more mindblowing that the PTA/Radiohead relationship. Someone needs to get them in the same room with Lynch. (Still, 2/3 ain't bad.)

E: I do remember that linked interview, though.

Lynch is too far gone. He needs to get in a room with Harvey Keitel's character from Holy Smoke to deprogram him out of his two wackjob philosophies.. that is transcendental meditation and the even more insane belief that he'll only shoot on video that looks like it's been filtered out of his ass.

And yeah I presume they met when they did that interview years ago.

True words my friend. I wish he could back to his best when he made Mulholland Drive.

This was linked at cigsnvines earlier.  Don't overlook it.  It has a lot of That Moment footage, but there is rare footage (at least, unseen thus far by me) of PTA directing, setting stage in the Smiling Peanut.  It's not often he's shown in action like this and I thought it was amusing how he was vocalizing the scene and admitting how silly it sounded.  This is the second time, at least, I've heard him use the phrase "and on and on and on and on and on."  :yabbse-auteuridiosyncracy:

HAHA. I like when they're about to shoot the Brad the bartender scene and he's explaining to the cast and crew what the scene entails and when he mentions how Brad the bartender has braces he stops himself and he's like, "Yeah, I know it sounds like a stupid movie." Don't remember this part from That Momemt.

"So as I'm saying this outloud I just wanna like not shoot this whole sequence."

:rofl:

that THAT MOMENT doc in its entirety must be so good.

Quote from: S.R. on July 06, 2011, 10:44:53 PMDon't remember this part from That Momemt.

that's because it's NOT IN That Moment..

as explained by ono and cigs and redvines that clip contains some footage not found in That Moment. mainly that pre-shoot explanation scene, and some of the talking head interviews.

why does he have to explain it like that, haven't those fuckers read the script? Well, I guess I can't blame 'em if they didn't. Its pretty long... but having to do that in front of a buncha people staring at you would make anyone think their movie sux

i know! why even have a director at all?? just give everybody the pages and say "Go at it, shoot this fucker!" no need to explain sequences and mood and shit, what's written is what goes, lazy dumbshits who obv didnt even read the script for the movie theyre making ... i mean, it says plainly that he's obsessing over B the B's metal mouth, clearly put before was Don's dental visit to get braces he dont need. is this moron talent/crew illiterate or whuuut??? :doh:

so stoopid why he got ta splain it like that :evil:

I'm pretty sure the way in which PTA directs is to somehow make him the human target, or at least mood-wise give people some sort of anchor.  Sure, he's explaining everything, but his mode of doing so and exasperated enthusiasm at least communicates SOMEthing about how he views the scene.  Or else you have some guy who's just shrugging going "I dunno...shoot what we wrote" or getting overly angry about how people DON'T understand his vision.
I would want to work with a director who acts down-to-earth like that, even to the point of self-deprecation.

Wasn't he only trying to explain that scene to all the extras there, so they at least knew what was going on in there? I'm pretty sure they're not given scripts to read, so he was explaining what that specific moment was all about, but out of context with the rest of the movie, it just sounded silly...

Paul Photobombs The SAG Awards (http://cigsandredvines.blogspot.com/2012/01/paul-photobombs-sag-awards.html)

haha, wtf. 

Maya needs nominated more often.  For this reason alone.

In other news, critic Glenn Kenny recently pointed us towards this article in the Cleveland Plain Dealer about late night horror host Ghoulardi (PTA's father Ernie Anderson) commemorating the 50th anniversary of his first broadcast. There's also a sidebar featuring some nice quotes from Paul. He talks about watching movies with his dad and that he's thought about setting a film in that era of the early days of local television.

    "From time to time I've thought about making a film about that era of local TV and the kind of Wild West lawlessness and the things that could happen. When my dad was doing it, it wasn't national, it was local. And it felt like lunch time was drinking time and you could come back to work totally hammered."
