OK, folks...
It's been more than 28 hours hours since we've had a post in the PTA section of this board. This is unacceptable. :evil:
(Yes, I know we've had deep PTA discussions elsewhere, such as weighing the merits of Magnolia vs. Ocean's Eleven :shock: and other such babble ... but the king should be discussed in his own kingdom.)
So, what'll it be?
:: taps foot ::
Well, we could have a poll: Who's Your Favorite Tertiary Female Character in a PTA Flick? (My vote: Joanna Gleason in BN)
Nah, polls are getting old. :P
How about this: How cool is it that critics are still heaping praise on the brilliance of Boogie Nights, as they compare it to the limp noodle that is Wonderland?
Or this: Under the theory that PDL is the first true great romance of the 21st century, what does the film say about the socio-economic, cultural, psychological and spirtual well-being of modern man?
Anyone, anyone?
This forum will continue to be shitty until we have some true info about his next project.

With apologies to Ed Harris:
"Shitty is not an option. With all due respect, fellow posters, I believe this is gonna be our finest hour."Quick, somebody write a masters' thesis on Hard Eight!
*singing Barenaked ladies* ...it's all been done. Doo-doo-doo-doo!
Hehe, filmcritic even tried to dissect the nuances of Hard Eight already ... to no avail. Yeah, we're basically waiting for PTA to get off his ass and tell someone what he's REALLY gonna do next. Of course, there are others of us who think he was never really that food to begin with. But we've already covered that.

How do you think the Cameron Crowe and Spielberg forums feel?

OK, it was a guilty pleasure for me, too. :oops:
But let's stay on topic, people.
PTA, PTA, PTA.
Hmmmm, what if PTA had directed "Resident Evil" and included a "Wise Up" sing-a-long with the undead?
i liked resident evil as well and cant wait for the promised directors cut

A deadly virus has been unleashed on the population of Raccoon City. RESIDENT EVIL: Apocalypse is a terrifying adventure in survival horror.
Milla Jovovich (5th Element, Dummy) returns as ALICE, one of only two survivors of the contained biochemical disaster in the first RESIDENT EVIL, the $100 million hit that serves as a prologue to the all-out action and horror of RESIDENT EVIL: Apocalypse.
The film begins where the first film left off, with ALICE in the heart of the ravaged and deadly Raccoon City. She has been subjected to biogenetic experimentation by the vast Umbrella Corporation and become genetically altered, with super-human strengths, senses and dexterity. These skills, and more, will be needed if anyone is to remain alive.
ALICE is joined by JILL VALENTINE (Sienna Guillory – Time Machine, Helen of Troy), a recently demoted member of Umbrella Corp's elite Special Tactics and Rescue Services (S.T.A.R.S.), TERRI MORALES (Sandrine Holt - Once A Thief, Happy Hour), CARLOS OLIVIERA (Oded Fehr – The Mummy, Presidio Med), L.J. (Mike Epps – Next Friday, All About the Benjamins), and NICHOLAI (Zack Ward – Titus, Almost Famous) who must survive and escape what is quickly becoming a City of the Dead. To reach their goal, they will need to battle their way through the relentless onslaught of the ravenous undead, as well as Umbrella forces and terrifying bioengineered weapons, the most deadly of which is the colossal, heavily armed assassin, NEMESIS.
Also featured in RESIDENT EVIL: Apocalypse are Thomas Kretschmann (U-571, 24, The Pianist), Jared Harris (I Shot Andy Warhol, Mr. Deeds) and Sophie Vavasseur (Evelyn).
RESIDENT EVIL: Apocalypse will be released in 2004.
Teaser Trailer here. (http://anon.ifilm.speedera.net/anon.ifilm/qt/portal/2478133_200.mov)
So, recasting it from a Paul W.S. Anderson movie into a PTA movie, you'd have:
-- Melora Walters as a butt-kicking, cocaine-snorting ALICE
-- Julianne Moore as the sexy, serious JILL VALENTINE
-- Nicole Ari Parker as gun-totin', trash-talkin' TERRI MORALES
-- CARLOS OLIVIERA re-envisioned through a PTA rewrite as the out-of-shape, comic-relief weapons expert ... Luis Guzman
-- Philip Seymour Hoffman with a bad-ass buzzcut as NICHOLAI
-- Philip Baker Hall as NEMESIS. No, this NEMESIS isn't 10-feet tall, with fangs and rocket launchers for arms. He's just a zombie with a sharp suit, a menacing sneer and the quickest draw in Raccoon City.

Ooh yeah!
its inevitable that the pta forum will be a quiet one, esp. w/ kill bill coming out, tarantino is where ppl r going at the moment.
I've got an idea for a PTA thread, PTA & Fiona Apple! A whole thread devoted to these two and their lives together.

or about their lives
NOT together - maybe :cry:

i'm gonna make like a tailor and make some totally and completely awesome out of this thread. my friend FIND YOUR MAGALI wrote:

the storyline is about the same except with same major touches that PTA does like the shot into the pool and whatnot and his little quips with John R. but i saw a clip of wonderland and the cinematography was captain insane-o! the camera was so smooth like my grandma's bunions. so i don't think it's gonna suck but i was really happy to hear ebert say that pta did a better job in boogies nights. but anyway.... yeah so i think i decided to say 'we met on the mountain and parted in the square' whenever i leave someone not cuz i'm a mason but cuz i thought it was cool and magnolia makes me all tingly inside when i think about but anyway, so what's with pta and fa? who cares? my mom does.... she asks me 'what happened with cute boy with scruffy face and wrinkled shirts and skinny girl he was beating at end of magnoila dvd?' and i just go 'i dunno ma.... i dunno"
FUCK YES! i am so goddamn pumped for re2. WHEN in 2004? i'm wetting myself with antici.........pation.
and, isn't this natasha henstridge? these were on the re2 website. did she drop out last minute or something? if i'm not mistaken, she was cast to play jill a LONG time ago. very curious, non?
