PDL didn't. I remember driving to NYC from Philadelphia so I could see it opening night.

Hmm fair point. I guess I'm misremembering because it was a super-limited initial release. Now I looked it up:

10/11/2002 - NY, LA, Toronto
11/1/2002 - Wide Release

I fully expected I would need to go to Uptown Minneapolis to see PDL, but it was playing freaking everywhere.

I think malkovich was afraid The Master won't get a wide release at all. Which I doubt. Has anything been said about that officially yet?

Nothing said. I'm just assuming they'll do a NY/LA first week then a bunch of cities next week and growing wide over November etc. into the holidays ideally.

Let me know if this seems to make sense...

It makes sense, but it seems to hard to predict based on where his previous movies have premiered, because they've all done something different. And what The Weinsteins want to do with it will be a major factor as well. The reasoning for those guesses seem pretty solid, though.

I know it's definitely a long shot, but I'm hoping for a Cannes premiere, for purely selfish reasons.

While I certainly hope that list is real, it's totally likely that it's not:

There's some weird shit goin' on and nobody seems to know for sure, but that thing reads too much like somebody's wish-list, so I'm gonna hold out for the official announcement before blowing my wad.

My buddy and I are planning on not watching ANY teaser/trailer/footage NOTHING of The Master, to walk into the cinema with absolutely no preconception/clue/visualization of what we are about to experience, to absorb the film in the greatest way.  I just thought it would be awesome if we got more people to do this with us, because it's going to HURT. It's more fun when we're being sadistic cinephiles together. =) :shock:

The first viewing of The Master (in a 70mm format) cinema only happens once in a lifetime. :yabbse-thumbup:

I would love to have this restraint. But I know it's impossible.

You're a smart Man, cloudy. I watched Magnolia for the first time blind, having only seen the trailer and it completely blew me away ( but that was on a VHS tape, not goddamned 70mm ). These days with having the internet and all, I just have to glom on to any piece of information available. It kinda makes me wish I only became aware of movies like two weeks before they came out, from the moment I saw the trailer and then read some little blurb in the New York Times, then sitting my ass in a theater and figuring it out for myself, but that would make the rest of the year torture!

So, I've already read the scripts for 'The Master' and 'Django Unchained' ( it's just too easy when you have material like that at your fingertips ) and last night I deliberately spoiled Cabin in the Woods for myself. Possible Spoiler It started with watching the trailer "because I at least gotta know what it's about..." and then I noticed Richard Jenkins wasn't anywhere to be seen, he was the main reason I wanted to see this, so what character does he play? I'll just look up the plot here and BAM.. it's ruined. I have a long history of self-sabotage.

that means you can't see anything in the theater since it might play a trailer for it.

when the master comes out, i wont even get popcorn,and i get popcorn for EVERY film. except TWWB ...... went to the special premiers and was too nervous for it and TOO INTENSE!! damn. why? its just a flick.

then afterward drove home for 2 hrs on the road from boston. alone. buzzing in the mind. wanting to tell the world what happened.

shit im so curious what PSH will be like. what clothes he will be wearing. what voice he will use. all the epic imagery they will capture... you see, we grown - ups dont get to enjoy christmas or birthdays anymore. our only presents are what art we get, and PTA is our daddy.

They're just not popcorn movies, is all.

and its a shame you turned your back on Burger King because:

It's time to watch a PTA flick while eating a whopper with cheese with light mayo, onion rings and a medium orange soda. Nothing can stop me.

I wanted to hear what that experience was like for you. I imagine you'd just die right there in the theater, full of pure bliss. So maybe it's better you don't.
