Licorice Pizza (Paul Thomas Anderson, November 26, 2021) Movie • Page 20

I’m very excited to see this again today as well. Hoping for a good crowd, last time I saw it there was like one person in the theater.

 

This was so much better a 2nd time. The first scene felt magical on a whole different level when you already know Gary and Alana

 

That first scene put a big dumb smile on my face that pretty much never left.

 

Same 100%

 

When do we expect this to go streaming

 

The studio is still doing exclusive streams for critics that you have to schedule, not letting any physical screeners go out. So I assume it's still a little ways out.

 

I need this on blu ray bad

 

Old post but the Penn as William Holden scene was the highlight of the whole thing for me. He got like two lines in and I was like “He’s doing the whole fucking monologue from The Bridges of Toko-Ri” out loud in my empty theater.

 

My second time seeing it got a huge laugh out of, "You remind me of Grace" ".... Kelly?!?"

 

Pretty underwhelmed by this. Some great isolated moments and the actors were great, but never felt that invested in the story

And the age thing was extremely bizarre. Like even somehow ignoring the gross implications, Hoffman doesn’t even look 15-16. Very distracting and unnecessary. Just make him 18-19 and nothing would be lost

 

One funny thing I haven’t seen anyone mention is John C Reilly’s split second cameo as Herman Munster

 

i kept expecting Patti Harrison to show up with a table

 

swear at least one person mentioned jcr as the real herman munster

 

Yeah it has been mentioned so ha!

 

well, in all fairness, he just said he hadn't seen it yet

 

Sounds like a personal problem

 

As if I’m going to waste my time reading other people’s posts

 

and (speaking for myself, i suppose) you're not expected to!

 

so you only read your posts? seems weird..

 

First movie in the theaters in two years!!!! And it was an Alamo Theater in Austin (

I had to see this in the theaters. The last movie I saw in the theaters was before lockdown seeing Once Upon a Time in Hollywood...so Licorice Pizza was fitting as hell as being the first movie since. Anyways enough about that...


Good stuff. I mean. I could watch that for hours. Shows hows how fucking important a good director is. This movie isn't really anything ....but it's just so perfect because PTA is allowed to do what he wants to do.

I'll have to sit on it for quite some time before I know where it stands in terms of PTA movies and other "California nostalgia movies", but just a solid solid solid 9/10 type movie.

 

i just got back from seeing this and i just cant get past the age gap thing. film was all kinds of questionable
