Phantom Thread (Paul Thomas Anderson, 2017) Movie • Page 6

I still haven't seen Inherent Vice, which I should probably change very soon.

 

It's really good.

 

I feel like my initial reaction should be taken with a grain of salt cause I’m riding on a high, but at this moment I genuinely can’t think of one thing I’d change about it.

 

wow

 

I've heard it requires multiple viewings to really "get" which has kind of deterred me from watching it so far, but then again the people who told me that are dolts so...

 

Go into it with the mindset of, “this is PTA’s take on a stoner comedy” and I think you’ll enjoy it.

 

Inherent Vice was pretty funny. Doesn’t get the credit it deserves, I think it’s unfairly maligned. Really enjoyed it.

 

I mean, that description sounds like it'd be RIGHT up my alley.

Should I watch it stoned?

 

Inherent Vice is my favorite PTA movie. Just watched it again last weekend

 

Might as well. It gives you the sensation that you’re stoned anyways

 

IV is good. Probably his weakest but there are some bright moments. The book was, obviously, much more dense and better IMO.

 

The book is very good, and not that long really either. Recommended reading for sure.

 

I really like Inherent Vice. Pynchon was always going to be incredibly difficult to properly adapt and PTA did a very good job with it. It's still one of his weakest films but absolutely worth watching.

 

Yeah, definitely his weakest imo, though I still haven’t seen Hard 8. But it’s really funny and an enjoyable watch.

 

I liked Inherent Vice a good deal at the time, but I haven't really had the desire to watch it again. I've tried a couple times but it was always late and I fell asleep. I kind of wish I hadn't read the book before seeing it tbh.

 

Hard Eight (Sydney) is good, not great, but worth watching because he was what, 25 at that time? Crazy.

 

It blows my mind to think he was 27 and making Boogie Nights

 

Planning on revisiting Hard Eight this month cause they're screening a 35mm print. I remember it being good but definitely not on the level of any of his other work.

 

I still need to see Hard Eight, Boogie Nights and Magnolia

 

omg

Get on that

 

Boogie Nights is something else

 

I don't care what you're doing or where you are but watch Boogie Nights RIGHT NOW

 

Given the subject matter I assume it's NSFW

 

it's worth getting fired over

 

Depends where you work
