INHERENT VICE (No Major Spoilers)

I know I shouldn't have spent $75 to watch this on Saturday, and I haven't, but I'm starting to think that maybe I should have... haha.
I can wait though. Fantastic trailer. Will certainly do its job and stay in the minds of people who don't even know who PTA is and just think it seems like a crazy wild ride with a great cast (and thanks to the great use of music in the trailer - Sam Cooke especially). As far as the fans go, it's great to see a harkening back to the comedic values of Boogie Nights and PDL, but of course this is something else entirely, as always. Can't wait.

Maybe he'll show some more clips this Sunday, or talk about some of the influences that went into it. Hope so.

Is there anyone in NYC dying to see VICE that doesn't have tickets?

LMK, I might have some extras (for face value). Wilder's got 'em.

The music choices FOR THIS TRAILER are also pretty dull.

WHAT?! that's the best part of the trailer!
well mostly the fact that I've never particularly FELT that Sam Cooke song until I saw it in some context like this.
Fuck it. Enjoyable musical choices.

excited to be going both saturday and sunday, see you there!

Pay for my ticket there or shut up.

The trailer has the front spot of youtube now... A first for a PTA movie. I remember reading something up on vines & cigs that mentioned how PTA thought "The Dark Night" was the top example of artistic vision and mainstream appeal.. I'm paraphrasing. Thinking he kept this in mind while making the movie and letting WB promote it the regular route. After Boogie Nights was such a success (as it damn should be) I can't help but think he wants that Hollywood momentum affect again to make whatever he wants next. He kinda did that with The Master. Hope the next one is experimental as fvck. Altman style influence. lol that'd be great.

I love how Paul put a legendary pornstar in the IV movie mix, nice Boogie Nights connection and classic Paul, not giving a fuck. Good to see Belladonna doing her thing in this...and yes, i'm a pervert...

Kellen · October 02, 2014, 04:09:00 PM

Since Paul didn't do this trailer, does that mean we won't be seeing those little 30 snippet/teasers like Paul did with TWBB and The Master back in the day...

Reel · October 02, 2014, 04:38:25 PM

I find that highly unlikely

Anyone else wondering why they didn't use no score music from Greenwood at all in the trailer?? There's talk that the clapping rhythm in the beginning is Greenwood's work but I'm not sure. Also, hope the Sam Cooke song isn't actually used in the film. It's cheesy, but that's just my opinion.

SeanMalloy · October 03, 2014, 12:22:59 AM

I put the clap beat connection together yesterday!

Watch the NYFF trailer then watch IV's trailer. It's the same music and must mean it's a Greenwood composition!

If I'm correct I'm very excited to see that music over some kind of ridiculous dolly track move.

Reel · October 03, 2014, 12:43:26 AM

You're all wrong. That clap track was lifted from 'Ain't Them Bodies Saints'
