Well. I somehow haven't started the last Curb season yet but here is a reason to: the dead are living.

In an ideal world, who would you guys want to be composing the soundtrack? A little left of field, but from what we've seen of production so far, I think JG Thirlwell would be the absolute perfect guy for the job. Ex-industrial legend from the 80's, turned experimental composer doing the soundtracks for Archer, Venture Bros, so forth (amongst other personal mindfuckery art projects).
I love Greenwood as much as the next guy, but Thirlwell has just the right amount of personal experience with late-hippie lifestyles, drug + alternative music subcultures, and general stick-it-to-the-man-ness to make him a perfect match.

I remember some years ago PTA gave an interview where he said he wouldn't make an action movie because he found it boring waiting around for all the pyrotechnics, stunts etc to be set up. I guess he's changed his mind!

        "Don't forget the crab-and-louse lotion," Louis said, smiling again. One of the things that had surprised him on his first tour of the infirmary had been the supplies of Quell, which seemed to him enormous—more fitted to an army base infirmary than to one on a middle-sized University campus.

The Satisfying ASMR of Phantom Thread

Just came across this, didn't see it posted, apologies if it's already been posted elsewhere, but its absolutely fascinating nonetheless to hear as the score plays such a pivotal part of the film...

Relevant to our recent Tom Cruise discussion:

"In what would mark his first English-language studio film since THE REVENANT, Alejandro G. inarritu has found his next film and tapped none other then Tom Cruise to star in it"

Loved this beautiful little movie. One of my favourites from last year. The contrast between the inscrutability of the performances and the passionate formalism of the filmmaking – particularly in the shots where the camera pointedly focuses on characters' hands as they perform decisive or emotionally-impelled actions – reminded me of Bresson.

PTA out there making a weird-looking movie with an insane budget and driving some of the worst people on the internet (hello, World of Reel commenters) crazy in the process. You love to see it. One does, indeed, gotta hand it to 'im.
