Licorice Pizza - Speculation & General Reactions

PTA is probably locked in Bill Macy's cabin working on the title as we speak. An intern from MGM is outside making snake sounds.

If anyone ever offer you a pill, take the green one. The chill pill.

On the latest episode of The Big Picture podcast, Sean Fennessey mentions talking to people at Telluride who are "working on the PTA film" and while they still don't know what it's called, they do know it's coming soon.

To add my own bit of speculation before this runs completely wild, I would imagine these are people working on the awards campaign/release side as opposed to the film itself which is likely done by now and heading straight for it's previously announced release date.

Hoping this is the chill pill this thread needs at the moment.

"You see, my film festival, she has been most vocal on the subject of the PTA movie. 'Where's the movie? When are you going to get the movie? Why aren't you getting the movie now?' And so on. So please... the movie."

Soggy Bottom: 10 Fun ["Facts"] About P.T. Anderson's New Movie

I have a problem with 40% of those...

Let me guess:
- "Jonny Greenwood Will Score The Movie" (zero evidence for this, I guess it's a "fact" though)
- "Bradley Cooper has a main role"
- The suggestion of a John C. Reilly cameo
- The #1, which after all that buildup is just a shrug

I'm trying to remember your view of Bradley Cooper and Benny Safdie's potential screen time, though, so I could be wrong.

It's as if PTA wants to sabotage his chances of having a hit.

Distributors: Hey Paul, what about the change of the title we were discussing the other day?
PTA: What about it? Come on, what's wrong with Soggy Bottom, such a great title!
Distributors: Uh, wouldn't be better to find a... more appealing title? A commercial one?
PTA: More appealing? Let me think... Oh got it! What about Licorice Pizza! Everyone loves pizza after all!
Distributors: ...

PTA's getting old, cuddly and simple

Since we are doing Simpsons references how about "Ghost Mutt"

They both sound like fake zany titles. What happened to titles like "Punch-Drunk Love" or "There Will Be Blood"? Those immediately grabbed you.

If you say to yourself "Two tickets to _____, please." and cringe, then it's not a good title.

Possible titles :

once upon a time in the valley

One night in Ventura

Thanks Al. So it's either food related or one night.
