also, i thought somebody was making a jack parsons biopic, but maybe i am making that up?

given that pta and psh have both collabed with tom cruise, i was surprised by this project tbh

We've been talking about the trailers to death over here:
THE MASTER (2012) P.T. Anderson's film on the origions of Scientology (sort of), Starring Philip Seymour Hoffman, Joaquin Phoenix, Amy Adams, and Laura Dern

Been a while since I saw a picture, but ... old!

A 180-degree turn from Mr. Anderson’s relentless oil odyssey “There Will Be Blood,” “Inherent Vice” is his most comedic and anarchic film since “Boogie Nights.” It’s a stoner detective film so overstuffed with visual gags and gimmicks that the filmmaker said he was inspired by slapstick spoofs like “Top Secret!” and “Airplane!”

Feeling that. Joanna Newsom narrating is...interesting
― Number None, Friday, 26 September 2014 14:22 (nine years ago) link
she's pretty perfect for Sortilége though
― Number None, Friday, 26 September 2014 14:23 (nine years ago) link
is this a marked tonal shift from Pynchon's book?
Anderson is only 44, obv has spent too much time in the sun.

I have wariness about PTA doing wacky, just from the Sandler abomination. Still Phoenix, Benicio dT, Eric Roberts and Martin Short in the same cast.

PTA's "Big Lebowski?"
Treating the book like a ZAS sketch is the best approach, but I dunno if this guy has it in him.

Trailer seems like it's got the ZAZ timing down!

Looks like jackie brown too. Anyway. I don't see the point in movies anymore.

I was about to post the same thing, but I have a feeling it's more the trailer than the movie.
― my jaw left (Hurting 2), Tuesday, 30 September 2014 16:09 (nine years ago) link
But you know, Hollywood being Hollywood. Literally impossible to market a movie without trying to convince people it's like some other movie they've already seen.
― my jaw left (Hurting 2), Tuesday, 30 September 2014 16:10 (nine years ago) link
I dunno, stoner shaggy dog So Cal detective story? Got its similarities no matter what. Though given his MO surely PTA had "The Long Goodbye" in mind.
― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 30 September 2014 16:14 (nine years ago) link
jeez, PTA looks like he's aged ten years since PSH died. he looks pretty gaunt compared to those photos from february of him at the funeral

i had no use for the book but ripping good trailer

it and Lot 49 are the only Pynchon I can stand.

i.e. read it – it's fun

xp i liked the book, it was pretty fun.
― tylerw, Tuesday, 30 September 2014 20:12 (nine years ago) link
books should be fun!
Lot 49 is def my favorite - found V a slog and Vineland sort of stupid but Inherent Vice is working in a vein I have a fondness for

― Οὖτις, Tuesday, 30 September 2014 20:12 (nine years ago) link
book was great fun, and made me think of big lebowski a lot so not surprised at any similarities.
To get a grip on the project, he adapted the entire 384-page novel sentence by sentence. “I basically just transcribed it so I could look at it like it was a script,” he said. “It looked like a doorstop. But I can understand this format. As big as it was, it was easier for me to cut down.”
kinda wished he just filmed the whole thing as a mini-series.
― mizzell, Tuesday, 30 September 2014 20:18 (nine years ago) link
kind of loved the book tbh

Josh Brolin looks like exceedingly good value in this. My enthusiasm dissipated when I saw Owen Wilson though.

his skin doesn't look good in that photo up above, but his hair looks good

i feel like that NYT photo was just an exceedingly bad picture following quite closely on from the death of his pal.
he should shave that beard thing though.

i love that this is where this thread is at. he has made some pretty good movies but he mainly exists in my head as just such a handsome guy. the nyt picture's taken under that tunnel on central park west, somewhere in the sixties, isn't it? all blustery. i am p sure there will be a nyff premiere pic at which he looks his usual dapper salt & pepper ruggedly urbane self & we will all be able to stand down & not worry so much. even if we are in an autumn of paul thomas anderson's handsomeness, it is still a while until wintertime.
