That trailer is giving me flashbacks to when everyone at early screenings of Licorice Pizza was saying that it was PTA in a more audience-friendly mode - and then it came out and was as deeply peculiar as all of his late work.

Anyway, this looks very fun - and strange. I'm sure it'll be divisive but I'll be there opening night.

OK, I'll admit that some of the background vehicles add murkiness to the year/decade of the setting, but there are no dead giveaways that this is set "today." It feel like we're catching up with late 1960s revolutionaries in the 1980s, sticking with Vineland on that front.

But also dark.
And grim.
And timely.
And subversive.

A film for 2025 that still, from this trailer, appears to be set in 1985.

Yeah this looks like it's going to be his funniest film yet

What a goddamn trailer!

Quote from: Jeremy Blackman on February 22, 2025, 01:53:00 PMHere's a PDF of my chapter on TIME TRAVEL. (Again, unfinished, but pretty close.)

Greetings,

Just wanted to extend gratitude for all of the illuminating discussion that went down in this thread, and your diligence + research in responding to everyone. Really enjoyed this chapter, and in general reading your HALFBORN analysis in book format is lovely. Does this suggest that you will be publishing the entire revised theory in this new format? I'd certainly be a patron.

Thank you!! And yes, I'll release my full "book" version at some point. I really feel like the web version is a tiny rough draft by comparison. Or maybe I've just bought into my own madness.
