Has he helped me out with the ladies?

Considering the fact that my favorite movie of all time is Boogie Nights, telling a girl your favorite movie is a movie about porn isn't always the best pick-up line.

I would say I liked Boogie Nights, and they'd say "That's a dirty movie.  It's sick."

I would say I liked Magnolia, and they'd say "That didn't make any sense."

I would say I liked Punch-Drunk Love and they'd say "That was stupid, and it didn't make any sense!"

But my g/f hadn't seen any PTA movies before we dated, and I wanted her to watch them all in order, but I caved and we watched PDL.  She like it a lot, but thought it was very sad.  So I'm gonna have her watch Hard Eight, and probably this Christmas break, we're gonna watch Boogie Nights and Magnolia back to back.  Intense.  But she has good taste in movies.  It's so awesome.

Hahaha, that's exactly it!!

Back in grade 12, when my fav movie was Boogie Nights, this one girl said to a buddy of mine "Sean only likes that movie because it's porn". Not "it's about porn", oh no, apparently it is porn. And that's the only reason I like it. Oh, stupid, awful me. What a sick person I am.
Those who say that the totalitarian state of the Soviet Union was not "real" Marxism also cannot admit that one simple feature of Marxism makes totalitarianism necessary:  the rejection of civil society. Since civil society is the sphere of private activity, its abolition and replacement by political society means that nothing private remains. That is already the essence of totalitarianism; and the moralistic practice of the trendy Left, which regards everything as political and sometimes reveals its hostility to free speech, does nothing to contradict this implication.

When those who hated capital and consumption (and Jews) in the 20th century murdered some hundred million people, and the poster children for the struggle against international capitalism and America are now fanatical Islamic terrorists, this puts recent enthusiasts in an awkward position. Most of them are too dense and shameless to appreciate it, and far too many are taken in by the moralistic and paternalistic rhetoric of the Left.

I got the same shit, which really didn't bug me considering me and my girlfriend cut school to go do the hibbity top row of a deserted tues. matinee showin'.  Boogie Nights..da da da..Boogie Nights.  

Shit, I was tryin' my best to make damn sure it was about porn that day.  Yeah, paul helps with the ladies...he puts them in the wiggly mood.  :wink:

Quote from: chuckhimselfowe all love the guy but  when life is not xixax.com or ptanderson.com , we have to face reality.  or not, but  personally i found it hard to mix my likes and dislikes with the people around me ,  im guessing (and hoping) that you all too. :twisted: .. here's a little piece of conversation i'm sure you've had at least once:

YOU :  so do you like movies?
x person: sure
you: what kind of movies'
x person: all kinds ,  scary movies.
you :  you know who paul thomas anderson is?
x person: paul who?
you: paul thomas anderson, pt anderson. PTA for short.
x person: never heard of him

Not to be condescending, but I would never go up to a friend...especially a girl...and ask them if they know who PTA is, I just wouldn't expect them to know or care. And personally, I've always liked it better when the only director a girl knows is Spielberg, that way you can have fun introducing them to everything else. I never have thought knowing a lot about film or being a fan of an obscure filmmaker would help me out with the ladies so I'm not mad at Paul, he's still a god.

I wonder how the ladies would react to Hard Eight

Damn! American girls must be stupid! I love how you say "introducing them" like they are small lambs with hilariously little brains! Seriously, I dig it! They are there to mould!

Quote from: ebeamanLike I said, I think it'd be fucking fun as hell to show them all the obscure stuff
it is fun...and they will usually like it.  Just need to be shown it.  But it goes both ways..let her teach you a few things too.  No matter the subject..that's why I don't get it when people want to find their exact replica in a partner.  How fuckin' boring to me...it's fun being introduced to new stuff...whatever it may be.

"Why don't you introduce her to my lap!"

Exactly man, I've never understood that either. Especially guy film geeks looking for girl film geeks, that's the weirdest of all I think. I mean, sure, you may very well have fun seeing the new current stuff coming out but you can't really introduce eachother to older stuff, they'll be too many fights cause chances are the person's already going to be somewhat familiar with (or worse -- disinterested in) what they're being shown and that would really suck for both people. See, I think film geeks are too obsessive, we probably see too much to be introduced to stuff that we'll like, either that or we're too cynical or arrogant to think there's anything good out there that we haven't already come across ourselves. I could be way wrong, but I think girls that don't know a lot about film would be the exact opposite - like I think they'd be open to it, I don't think you'd have to force it on them, I think they'd enjoy it all cause they don't know what to expect. It sounds really fun.

Oh, of course. I'm never getting a girlfriend but if I ever was going to, absolutely, that would be a must, I agree.
