Title: Your best bit of PTA memorabilia?
Post by: Marty McSuperfly on October 08, 2007, 09:34:57 AM
Since I'm checking this site more and more now for There Will Be Blood articles, how about we have another topic to hold our attention.

I'm just curious what you guys/girls have of PTA-related stuff.

I've got a signed Magnolia poster Paul gave to Elvis Mitchell of the NY Times (It says: "To Elvis, you make me far too relaxed, I'll regret everything", a signed Boogie Nights DVD, prop frog and Blossoms and Blood DVD.

I'm not saying what I've got is great, I'm just really interested in who out there has what.

For example, does anyone have the mythic PTA Music Video DVD???

I have a piece of torn shirt gotten from him when film nerds decided to end their social life, dedicate a forum to him and randomly attack him when seeing him because they had no idea what else to do when seeing their "God".

joke. I'd have to include myself in there too if I was serious

For Christmas a few years ago a buddy got me a rubber frog from Magnolia. I thought that was a pretty cool gift.

I guess the rarest collectible I have is a DVD screener of Boogie Nights with the Exhausted doc before it was taken off the released edition for rights issues.

Thanks

Nope. And PTA wasn't fibbing when he said it didn't turn out too well. It's been years since I've read the book, but the screenplay is almost a scene for scene transcription. Not a whole lot of PTA-isms, except for the kid's relationship with his mom, which feels a lot like Eddie Adams and his mother.

After further consideration, I probably should not discuss this openly.  Sorry (you know who you are).

introduce yourself (http://xixax.com/index.php?topic=2.720). unless you just joined to rub our noses in something that everyone's already seen. well, the official packaging would be nice.

I'm not new to the forum, but I guess there was an update or something or I forgot my old login.  Either way, I wasn't trying to rub anyone's nose inanything...I posted things that I have that are definiely NOT things most others have seen, and each item was named.  Based on an agreement from several years ago I started to think posting was a bad idea.  By the time I logged back in, the first response to my post confirmed my feelings.  I'm not sure that makes me a weirdo...I'm just holding up my end of a deal.
