There sure seem to be a lot of car chases/driving scenes

Wow that's exciting to see!

the 500T and 1 stop push might be a clue he's going for a rougher texture like on IV and PT, love seeing the Leica glass, the 1.85 ratio was confirmed in recent BTS footage, my favorite morsels that get leaked are all the little hints to how it will look.

Michael Bauman on camera. Let's go!!!

Hey, that makes ME fringe!!  That's a cool thing to be, right?   

That's fucking hilarious

I love this sentence on Vineland's (the novel) Wikipedia page:

Paul Thomas Anderson has spoken many times of his love for, and desire to adapt, the novel. As of February 2024, it is heavily rumored and believed only on the fringes to be true that he has finally begun filming this adaptation, with first time collaborator Leonardo DiCaprio in the role of Zoyd Wheeler.

On release I think the response to this movie around people I was talking to was divided. Either they felt it was too 'feminism 101' or they loved that it was unabashaedly 'itself' - unlike Saltburn which sort of goes through the motions of other thrillers within its genre. This movie's ear for dialogue is too playful for me to berate its plotting. One could argue it's facile - but I think the easier point of entry for critique would be simple: Yorgos has made this movie before, and with more complications, in Dogtooth. But I don't fault it for being its own ludicrous fable.

Thing is, we all ought to be as voracious and curious as Bella. So whatever the trappings of this script's trajectory, I think there's worth in its notion of 'pursuit' and 'awe' and compassion. Taking compassion into account, not every movie has to be entirely for me. And when I think of the thrill this movie's lewd-introduction to intellectualism will be for high school film enthusiasts, I'm filled with gladness.

Super cool chapter cards and sets. Makes me wish we could get a movie that looks like William and Catherine Blake's artwork. Production Design and Costuming awards are going to be a hard battle between this, Barbie, Oppenheimer, and Killers of the Flower Moon. Drop your other Prod Design hopefules in the comments if I missed one. hehe.
