Untitled Paul Thomas Anderson (10th feature, TBA)

[Heisenberg]

Looks like they might go for the "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" release strategy and move it up to July 25

Deliverance

While we're sitting here cosylike, let's meander a moment. Behind Industry doors on the Beverly Hills circuit, is PTA dismissed as an "arty" director who has never delivered the $? So now PTA is in the position of Warren Beatty during post-production of Bonnie & Clyde (1967). Scrooby recalls the well-documented story of Beatty premiering the film at the DGA. Will PTA deliver the goods and elicit the following response that one director gave afterwards? "Well," said whoever it was who stood up in the auditorum, "Warren Beatty just shoved it ** *** ***."

Highest grossing movies of 1967 : 5. Bonnie & Clyde Warner Bros.

PTA Power Incoming.

Surely BC Project will have some Salo in it too

Hic aliud maius miseris multoque tremendum
obicitur magis atque improvida pectora turbat.
Laocoön, ductus Neptuno sorte sacerdos,
sollemnis taurum ingentem mactabat ad aras.
Ecce autem gemini a Tenedo tranquilla per alta
(horresco referens) immensis orbibus angues
incumbunt pelago pariterque ad litora tendunt:
pectora quorum inter fluctus arrecta iubaeque
sanguineae superant undas; pars cetera pontum
pone legit sinuatque immensa volumine terga.
Fit sonitus spumante salo;

salo / the open sea, the deep.
σάλος / rolling swell of the sea.

Sean Penn. I would just encourage everybody to be as politically incorrect as their heart desires.

While we're all sitting quietly, has anyone considered the sudden camera realignments here :


for example : unsure footing, instability, chaos brewing


for example : the man is the measure of all things. And at the moment the maniac seems ὀρθός.

Looks like we have a new strong contender for the final title in "One Battle After Another"

[max from fearless]

"The Battle of Baktan Cross" was better and I wasnt the biggest fan.

We need a "There Will Be Blood" title level zinger!

Cinema needs it.

Cmon PTA do that Soggy Bottom switcheroonie on us!

One Battle After Another is really weak. I refuse to believe it.

[Scrooby]

Jeez. Just call it Leo Kicks Ass and it'll make a billion and that's that.

[Scrooby]

How about Heraclitus?

PTA's LIVE BY BATTLE

Now thats a title! It's active and suggests a real point of view slash philosophy, love it.

Wilber I know you have the teams ear, let em know what we (ie. Scrooby's) rustled up!

[Scrooby]

Shall we chill a moment and point out that One Battle After Another conveys a Vineland epoch-vibe via an echo of Frank Zappa's "Trouble Coming Every Day" (1966)?

[Achpi]

yeah, terrible title. he's usually so good at them.
