While we're at it, might as well throw a trigger warning for suicide on this post. (Yep, not kidding.)

Jesus, get your emotions under control fellas. Don't make me start listing free behavioral health services in the PTA threads.

TW: suicide (yep not kidding)

Lot it's fine I did sort of goad him into it. Sorry for the distraction guys!

TW

I just wanna know how he went from a normal comment about Camila Rutherford to those crazy replies.

I had him on mute for past few months so......

Which decade and location would you guys like to see PTA delve into next?

I'd love to see him do something in the 40s New York. Or maybe something based in clevedland around the time his dad did ghoulardi .

He'll probably make a movie set in 2006, just before the first iPhone.

A science fiction movie where civilization collapsed so long ago that they're just getting back around to the 1970s.

What would you like to see though fella?

I feel like this question gets repeated a lot so I'll just repeat what I've already wished for:
-contemporary setting
-or another 70s style comedy ala Bad News Bear
-TV network comedy about Cleveland and inspired by his dad... 60s?

Either '50s, or late '80s/early '90s when people were gradually supplanting much of their oranges and browns with fluorescents (plus I was old enough to remember it clearly). Or contemporary.

Contemporary fiction.

I feel like LP likely precludes diving into Ghoulardi territory for the next film.

Altman was 50 when he made Nashville. I would love to see Anderson tackle something both along the lines of commenting on contemporary America and interweaving plots, a Nashville for our era.

The key is, I'd like to see Paul work with a collaborator. Essentially, that's what he's been doing. TWBB is in collaboration with Upton Sinclair. Inherent Vice in collaboration with Pynchon. Phantom Thread in collaboration with DDL. LP in collaboration with Gary Goetzman.

I'd like to see PTA find his Joan Tewkesbury, as Altman did with Nashville, someone who can break the spine of a story and who is on the same wavelength at PTA but also bringing outside ideas.

And if none of that works, gimme a horror film set in 1950s rural America

Around 5:37, he describes the other script he'd been working on as "kind of bleak".
