I have a problem...maybe you have it too.
The last year I've been watching his films daily (almost obsessively). If it's not Magnolia, it's one of the others.
When I to write scripts of my own I subconsciously think "Is this something Paul would like. Would he write this if he was me?" etc.
I know this is VERY unhealthy for a writer and I try to block these thoughts out which I've done succesfully lately.
I think I've looked at his films as perfect but now I realize there are many writers/directors as good has him (but different). Coens for example.
I tend to like dialogue with a twist to it, you know. Not the ultra-realistic but realistic in a 'highten reality'. I think the Coens and PTA does this.
I'm pretty sure this didn't make sense...but if it did...
I've listened to new albums at least once a day for up to a year, but after a while, it wears on ya. Best thing to do is put those movies away where you can't play them (a locker at school or work, perhaps?). During the time you'd be watching the movie, read a short story or something...or write.
Unless Paul is gonna grade your writing, you should probably stop wondering if Paul would like it. :wink:
"Extra cheese is 2 dollars."
I watched DTRT again a week ago, and damn that's a good movie. I even wrote a crappy poem after watching it, which I haven't done in a year or so.
It's not that I wanna write like him...I have my own ideas how story and dialogue should play out but I think it can be dangerous to obsess about a director like I've done. Lately my own creativity and productivity have suffered because of this...
I'm finally getting out this phase...
dont worry, i used to be the same with tarantino. youll grow out of it
So Cecil B. Demented DOES know Quinten Tarantino...and after you shot into the ceiling and yelled at the cashier girl....
For shame.

what you have is a very commen problem amungst people who never get their scripts let alone made but looked at by anyone else except their co workers at kinkos
take a break clear your head and try again, writters are born not made if it was meant to be , it was meant to be
to prove my point look at all those bad tarantino rip offs that came out in 95 and 96 by guys who had zero expeierence and less talent, their films went straight to video and now they have to suffer the indignity of watching their films not get rented , because they all got jobs at blockbuster
not to be harsh, dont be a copy of anyone
i love pta's films , more then most people but im nothing like him in style

Quote from: mogwaiyou're as obsessed as 'chainsmoking nut'. you can't compete with paul or try to be as him. watch a lot of various movies to get some inspiration. my advice is to watch spike lee movies. i don't why because i don't think it'd help anyway.
No truer words have been said mogwai. only, my name is chainsmoking
insomniac. And I'm slowly but surely growing out of this. It is dangerous to compare yourself to director/writers that you admire, creatively speaking. But there's nothing wrong with gleaning inspiration from them.

So is the new rule in here at the PTA forum: 'Do not talk about how good he is...because we all know that'?

this is what ruins Good Message Boards
I'd LOVE to see what you really look like
Do you have Short Man's Complex?
anyways...yeah...I have this homo erotic notion as to what it would be like to have Paul fuck me (notice how I play da bitch).....I think he could work it good.
I am sorry for my sarcasm, but seriously it's sad that the PTA portion of this site is overrun by faggo fans....there used to be substance here...what happen to it?
....a challenge to all you folk...make a thread, that captures hearts alike, and has meaning (in this forum, and relevant to it)....I will be the judge....convince me....and I will send you a present worth your time.

Quote from: kotteTell me...what is substance?
sub·stance (n.)[/i]
1. a. That which has mass and occupies space; matter.
b. A material of a particular kind or constitution.
2. a. Essential nature; essence.
b. Gist; heart.
3. That which is solid and practical in character, quality, or importance: a plan without substance.
4. Density; body: Air has little substance.
5. Material possessions; goods; wealth: a person of substance.
(really kotte, I apoligize for singling you out, as it's not your fault, and it is in the opinion of this narrater that this kinda stuff happens all the time.)
a word, especially one like substance or quality, is more than its dictionary definition.
also..

hey i think i saw a horse-like chick posting in sum other thread! u should go check it out man! really i think u may hav a chance, when u see ur dream u should chase it down, i say! especially if it makes u lose character to an unforgivable degree, poser.
Quote from: aclockworkjj(really kotte, I apoligize for singling you out, as it's not your fault, and it is in the opinion of this narrater that this kinda stuff happens all the time.)
yeah, well don't worry...I can see this forum is of a different kind. That's what attracts me, and I think most of you, to this place.
I hate those forums where the admins aren't active in maintaining the quality. They are more often then not spammed with 'admiration'- and 'what is a director?' kind of posts.
As I write this I can see that I'm guilty of this myself...but I'll do better. I promise.
I'm definitely gonna be terrified to post again...if I ever do :)
In my honest opinion, I believe P to be a faggot, a piece of shit and a loser. He should die.
Quote from: Shaun DigiIn my honest opinion, I believe P to be a faggot, a piece of shit and a loser. He should die.
well, who cares?
Rock it Shaun!
But enough P bashing. According to some on this board, these P bashing posts have no "substance." Only the ones that praise him and bash others who don't like him DO have substance, so remember that.
well, regardless of who we like or hate, I don't think we should have anybody-bashing threads. it's not cool.... and it's not sexy, it's just not sexy.
besides, we all need to band together for our kevin smith bashing anyway...
That's true.
Quote from: kotteI'm definitely gonna be terrified to post again...if I ever do :)
no, no, no...shit, half of which I mummble here is garbabge. The point is not to make you stop, the point is to make you continue, so we can find something wrong with what you say, flip it all backwords, smash it, kiss it...until finally the entire thread is fuct...so we move on to another one.
Seriously, if you stop posting cause off this, I will hunt you down with an internet stoning.
i wanna smash pta's face with a sledgehammer
Quote from: Shaun DigiIn my honest opinion, I believe P to be a faggot, a piece of shit and a loser.
don't forget short. He's got short man's complex
alright, no more P bashing now for real

Quote from: Pur a transparent fake ass bitch like all the other deadbeats who agree with u.
did you get that from his name?
...cause honestly I don't think I have ever seen you even make an attempt at giving a person like poser a chance, but instead of addressing him constuctivly, you go back to the pathetic little whines.
are you just sore that finally not everyone is kissin' your ass? b4 you give him shit for attacking anything about a person, look at yourself.
p.s. you were tryin' to be funny, it didn't work.
oh jj pleaz, u were the king ass kisser until a week ago, before u and pantalones started dating. p was the one who's ass u kissed the most. now ur all self-righteous and pickin fights.
