There ought to be automatic entry into the Xixax Hall of Fame for posts like this. :-D
There's nothing about jerking off to pictures of him at Cannes. Good. I'm safe.
atticus jones, really?
Thanks, FindYourMagali!
PS I'VE gotta be pretty obsessed to sit down and come up with this list, but hey.... it's all in good fun. I'll try to think of more.
And Cinephile, that was hilarious.
Quote from: Cecilatticus jones, really?
haha.....piff.
When things are slow, Greg calls YOU for news on Paul
You drove by an elementary school and pulled over when you saw a sign that said “PTA meeting,” and had to remind yourself that it’s not the same thing. You stuck around a while just to make sure.
You and your friends play a drinking game to all of Paul’s movies and take shots whenever the John C. Reilly or Philip Seymour Hoffman are onscreen.
You watch his movies while holding the shooting script in your hand, noting all discrepancies.
You applied for an internship at New Line.
When you got your cell phone, you insisted on getting a number in the 818-area code- and you live in Florida.
You’ve sent your headshots to his casting director but you’re not even an actor.
You’ve joined fan clubs for Aimee Mann, Beck, Quentin Tarantino and Michael Penn just because you know they are some of his friends. You constantly email their fans asking if they have any stories about Paul.
You taught yourself the choreography to the dance scene in Boogie Nights.
You’re taking voice lessons to prepare if he ever does that musical.
Your child’s first word was “Ghoulardi”
You are eager to spot someone’s cheek leak.
You can’t say yes to every one of these items, and it’s pissing you off.
You tried to pitch “What Do Kids Know” to CBS.
When staying in hotels, you either give the name “Dirk Diggler” or “Amber Waves,” depending on your gender.
You thought about getting a pair of lovebirds and named them Barry and Lena, but changed your mind when you heard Paul hates birds.
You’ve watched Magnolia so many times, you were actually able to finally understand what Dixon said in his rap (without the words in front of you!!!)
Pink Dot will no longer deliver to your house because you called them to ask for peanut butter, Camel Lights, white bread, Swank and Barely Legal over 20 times.
You might transfer to Boston University next semester just so you can take that class being taught on Paul and 3 other directors. You decide to get the syllabus way ahead of time so you'll only be in class on the days they talk about Paul.
You carry a digital camera with you in case it ever rains frogs.

"When you go to a casino, you only gamble precisely the way Sydney taught John."
You’re still paying off the credit card bill from the impromptu trip to Cannes you took a year and a half ago.
You told your boy/ girlfriend you wanted to smash her face in. You wondered why s/he called the police.
You watched Minority Report enough times that you finally found PTA in it. While it was still in the theaters. (They thought they could slip it by you? You’d know the back of that head ANY day!) And you still bought the DVD.
You keep calling the cable company and telling them you’re going to move if they don’t add FX to their lineup so you can see the TV edit of Boogie Nights. You’re tired of having to borrow it from your cousin who lives across town.
You check ptanderson.com more than you check your email.
You’ve looked in the phone book to see if there are any “Paul T. Anderson’s” in your town. You’ve called them.
You’ve got a co-worker named Denise who is about to slap a sexual harassment charge on you if you call her “Denise the Piece” ONE more time.
You are a man who refers to your package as your “big, fat sausage-a!”
You don’t know why Avi and Solomon were so freaked out when Donnie wanted to get braces. Anything for your idol, right?
You’re taking harmonium lessons. You get pissed when people ask you if it’s a small piano.
You went to a casino and wouldn’t play until you got a rate card.
Just a cool thread. boombanglarrabee, thanks.

"You know who Greg Marriotti is" he probably is a little annoyed by me.

Wonderful thread.

Not far from the truth.
Goddamn, a brillant thread, dude!
If PTA reads this some day, he'll think we're fuckin' weird!
But PTA also has done something kind of bad to my life - I began to smoke Camel Lights. I'm so fuckin' mad!
This thread should be permanently sticky-ed near the top of the PTA board, because I can think of nothing better that defines our mind-set. :-D
Here's another sign you might be obsessed: You write for a newspaper and sneak subtle PTA references into your stories.
Before the high school football season, I wrote a tongue-in-cheek column in which I came up with a psych-up song for each local team, something to get them fired up before the game.
Two of the entries were are follows:
DELONE CATHOLIC — Ain't No Stoppin' Us Now, by McFadden & Whitehead: There hasn't been much stopping the Squires during Denny Frew's 26-year tenure as head coach. This long-lost sports anthem came out in 1979, when Frew was in his second season. Now, Frew is closing in on his 300th career victory.
EASTERN YORK — The Touch, by Stan Bush: It may seem a bit goofy to include a song from the soundtrack of "Transformers: The Movie." But if lyrics like "And you never get hit when your back's to the wall/Gonna fight to the end and you're takin' it all" don't make you want to go pummel the quarterback (or some evil robot), then you shouldn't have a helmet on.
Heh-heh.
boombanglarrabee -- brilliance in posting!!!
Your eyes light up whenever you see Philip Baker Hall in a non-PTA movie.
You excessively use the phrases, "this is bullshit, mothafucka," "shut the fuck up," and "now you must really shut the fuck up."
You know who Michael Penn is.
You always bet on the hard eight at the craps table.
You refer to Hard Eight as Sydney.
You're not here for the fucking nachos.
What would be good (or food) would be to create an upper left banner with scrolling text containing all these things. Can you do that without Flash? That's the only way I'd know how to do it. Unless it was scrolling horizontally.
Quote from: RaviYou know who Michael Penn is.
Yeah, he's the guy who did "No Myth." .... One of the best pop songs EVER. :-D
Mags..
what if I was romeo in black jeans?
What's sad, is that I can relate to almost all of these things... with the exception of 5 or 6... but you forgot:
Started a plunger business in Canoga Park after watching Punch Drunk Love...
ok, so I can't relate to that, but I was thinking about it...

Read the list, I guess I'm not obsessed. But I knew that already. I'm a pathetic PTA fan that fits into the "Well....I taped his 3 most popular movies off TV" category. Though I did dress up as rollergirl for Halloween. Twice.
If you were rollergirl not once but twice (with a screenname like "Derek," I can only imagine), you've taped 3 out of his 4 movies, and you're on xixax. I hate to break it to you, but you've got a bad case of denial. It's ok, you know, there's lots of us. Consider this forum a kind of support group, if you will. The first step is admitting you have a problem. Chin up, kiddo. :wink:

Yeah, it's totally different in Europe...
We start really early with that shit...if it's good or bad...I don't know.
When I told my friends in NY it's legal to have sex as a 15 year old in Sweden, they freaked out. I don't know if they overreacted but yeah...it's different.
i remember the first time i smoked a cigarette. i was 13, and this older, 'wiser' kid told us that u wouldn't get cancer if u only enhaled three times w/ each cigarette. hahah- kids r so dumb.

a very mild estimation 8)
How about:
You join PETA, purely because it has the initials PTA in them
You make your girlfriend/wife call you Paul or Dirk in bed
You're trying to persuade your wife into becoming a solo musician while you pursue your career in filmmaking
You have a web page dedicated to him
You watch the "Magnolia" Diary all the time just to try and mimic the way he incessantly talks with his hands
Whenever you're in the movie store, you tell anybody near you, whether you know them or not, that Punch-Drunk Love is the best movie in the new release section (which is what I do at my job)
You rent "Popeye" just to see and hear the original version of "He Needs Me"
You sing "He Needs Me" in the shower, whether you're a girl or not.
Whenever you're feeling blue, you thinking about Kevin Smith's attempts at downgrading a much superior filmmaker and it makes you laugh- Then you remember that you know more fans of Smith than you do fans of PTA, then you frown again.
You add to an already overwhelming list of PTA obsessions on a message board.
I'm done.......

Never mind, it sounds good.
I just read these PTA obsessive lists by boom. I really started digging BN about 2 months ago or less and am still captured by it. Now that I've seen Magnolia once and PDL 4 times, I have to say I have become fascinated with his work.
It's kind of weird how many of those PTA-isms I already know in such a short time. This has to be one of the best posts I have come across on here thanks to you.
One of the best lists ever!

if you think his films are any good.....
I can't resist...
Your girlfriend will bail if you make her say "your cock is so beautiful" one more time.
She has also asked you repeatedly to stop calling it "that one special thing".
You've been told over and over by friends and family that you are indeed NOT a " big, bright shining star".
You walk around in a 70s cowboy getup... always with a coffee mug.
As soon as you bought the Magnolia dvd you skipped to the last scene and turned on the subtitles so you could find out exactly what John C. Riley said to Melora Walters.
You constantly ask your dying grandpa why "every word that comes out of his mouth is either cocksucker, shitballs, or fuck" even though he hasn't spoken in six months.
Your six year old little brother tells his kindergarten teacher to "respect the cock!"
(man this is fun)
No matter how much you offer, no one will pay you ten bucks to look at your dick (or twenty to see you jerk off).
You no longer simply tell people to shut up. It's always "shut, shut, shut, shut, shut up!
Anytime you complement someone you call it "waxing their car".
Want to keep going... must....stop...
your in love with an alien.
I knew the respect the cock would come up somewhere unless I missed it earlier than this.
If figured it'd go like this.....telling your girlfriend there's going to be some changes around here and it's time we respect the cock and tame the twat. Then she slaps the hell out of you and leaves your ass forever with bills and........stuff. yeah

last time you were at a drug store you said to the clerk "motherfucker, you fucking asshole, who the fuck are you? who the fuck do you think you are? i come in here..........."
you constantly throw firecrackers
everytime you're in the passenger seat of a car, you lean your head against the window and sing "prepare a list for what you need before you sign away the deed"
you found xixax by trying to visit www.seduceanddestroy.com
...if while on tour with your friend's band (as a merch guy), you inexplicably find yourself at a party with Courtney Love, Kelly Osbourne and Har Mar Superstar, who informs you that Paul Thomas Anderson's coke is in the bathroom, and then you procede to ingest some of his coke, not b/c you're a drug user per se, but just because it's his.
not kidding, no joke, this happened fo shizzle to me, word up
har mar superstar is not a reliable source..

. . . you legally change your full name to 'Paul Thomas Anderson', drop out of school, move to California, sleep with Fiona Apple, cast Philip Seymour Hoffman in all your films, and do copious lines of coke until you die.
I dunno about anyone else, but I had a dream the other night that John C. Reilly was an extra in a commercial and I was angry that he was an extra.
maybe you predicted the unfortunate future for him?
you watched road trip, dogville, the talented mister ripley and a few other films i can't think of now, because they have more than one cast member from magnolia.

-you suddenly quit writing your action-adventure script, or musical script, or quirky script about a loner finding true love and instead begin to adapt a fairly obscure novel.
-The 'Baraka-Meets-Scorsese' style of the piece you are working on suddenly takes a backseat so that you can give it an early century look and somehow include a distinguished looking rich guy with a beard.
- you fell for the idea of that damn Chase movie last April Fools.

As soon as the first bit of news broke for his next project, you suddenly felt the need and obligation to watch 'That Moment' because he is in the pre-production faze.

I saw a liscence plate on a car, and I should've pieced together that it was just a mom's car, but the plate read "JOIN PTA" and I was like "That's badas--- waitaminute..."
i saw Paul about two months ago driving down 2nd Avenue, while waiting online to watch Masculine Feminine. He was driving a mini-van and had his hand to his mouth like he was deciding where he wanted to go.
the same day, I saw Phil Hoffman walking up Seventh Avenue, talking on his cell, as they were shooting 'The Family Stone' across the street at the Riviera Cafe on Christopher Street.

a wooden experience. no doubt about it.
Very funny JB. But since you all must know. I do have a picture of his van, but it's old and may not be the same one he drives in today.
SPOILER SPACE.

He drove this when he first started dating Fiona years ago,. Oddly enough, this is also a picture of his old house.

You'll
get it. Your mind is just coming up
short.
haha Get Shorty. it was right there i just couldn't grab it.
He doctors scripts and gets good mulla out of it...his only condition is not to be credited.
Spielberg himself has asked him for advice...
I think he did some commercials too...
He should really drive a P.T Cruiser.
why?
So as he whizzes past pedestrians they can stop say, "there goes P.T Anderson in his P.T Cruiser! I love that guy!"

...you thought about commiting suicide when you first read the thread under this one.
I just friended this rly hot girl from high school on Facebook. Her name's Cheniece, and the first thing I can think of saying to her is "Cheniece, Cheniece the piece." she won't get the reference, but I think the message is clear :inlove:

That she thinks you're mentally retarded?
lol.
This thread is pretty good.
one of your playlists reads: penderecki!!
So many PTA threads, I couldn't decide where to put this... Driving home from work last night I caught Caged Animals — Teflon Heart (Starslinger Remix) on the radio. There's a line in there about the guy's girlfriend making him watch Magnolia. I thought it was funny because I'm pretty sure everyone on this board has forced their significant other to sit through it at one point.

All I had to do was ask her if she saw it.
She said "I Hated It."
Doesn't mean I'm still not havin' sex with her!!!
"You might be obsessed with Paul Thomas Anderson if...." every time you see a new post on the Master topic you get excited and absolutely sure they've released a trailer, and a release date, which is tomorrow.

I was looking for something like this! Awkwardly this is the first time I find it. Will do, will do.
... you talk so much about him that you get PTA-related stuff on your birthday, even tho you haven't asked for it
well, I am guilty.
what'd cha get
A PDL-poster and a CMBB-dvd, man.
Feels good.
Um, okay, maybe it's cuz I'm a noobie, but does everyone call There Will Be Blood CMBB?
What else should we call it? :ponder:

We call it
Chere Mill Be Blood.
Pubrick coined this based on the font on the original poster (see below). Basically no one is resisting it anymore.
http://www.movies-wallpapers.net/Movies/There%20Will%20Be%20Blood/There%20Will%20Be%20Blood-01.jpg
What's Chere Mill? Google bears no fruit on the matter.
Tell me everything. I want to be well-versed in all of Xixax history.
Chere Mill is the first two words from the title of Paul Thomas Andersons fifth feature film Chere Mill Be Blood.
Oh, nevermind, I see it now. I guess the typographer side of me blocked out reading any other way than was already established.

Read and learn.
I forget that i'm being silly when i say "Chere Mill" and have in fact used it during a serious conversation... and they didn't even question or correct me!
"Smart boy, but that's some speech impediment...:ponder:"
I had a dream last night that I saw 'The Master' -- it made perfect sense to me for a while, and the movie was actually incredible, until I realized it was a movie I had made up in my mind about railroad tycoons (???). I had only realize this after (in my dreams) I e-mailed PTA 25 times about me liking the movie and he responded 25 times (that's when I realized it wasn't actually 'The Master' but something I'd made up, so I knew I was in a dream). So then I went outside to my parking lot and saw an awkward handle near a dumpster which opened up to reveal (woah!) PTA was living in an underground vault! Baffled, and excited, we quickly became friends and frolicked like fuck around my neighborhood. In my actual life, there's a lady here who has a shitty car that always pollutes the air with smoke, that same woman manifested in my dreams. When PTA and I got near her, he started coughing, then a lot more, then eventually he coughed so hard he vomited some weird yellow stuff on my arm and told me to go the emergency room quickly or I could get a thing called "nucleus throat" (???) so I did, and I went to the hospital within 10 minutes and was quarantined in a room with only UV lights where my arm was wrapped in an air tight sheet and they pulled that nasty viscous material out of me and I woke up soon afterwards.
ya'll jelly? :finger:

Woah, hang on! Why does that emoticon exist then if not to be used alongside something ironic!
it has literal connotations as well... we go there, sometimes
