I also have another film that I made last spring on my YouTube channel. Any thoughts and guidance would help. I definitely have a lot to learn.

If we each pitch-in a buck...

With PTA doing all kinds of different films and Radiohead/Haim music videos, and a Geese concert film, how crazy would it be if he’s been filming a secret Pynchon documentary. I’ll bet you he is doing it and then it’ll be released after Pynchon passes.

Pure speculation but how great would that be? He’d be the only one who the Pynchon family/estate would grant unfettered access to.

Anybody got any info about this? Can’t seem to find anything about it online! I can’t figure out if these were for the public or as a screener etc. :)

also I got it on eBay at a high price mainly because I was just curious in interest! not trying to be sneaky just curious as to what it actually is as a PTA and Pynchon fan!

I should rewatch it one day. A marvelous film. But I have to watch Magnolia…..

Is there any chance Paul might show up at one of the screenings of Cameron Winter – Carnegie Hall at the Aero?

It's like everyone has no problem with it. Does it encompass the themes of Magnolia the best?

You guys don’t realize that this is testing for the jazz film…..

I’ve been laughing for the past 10 minutes going through this dude’s tweets and reading them in Tom Cruise’s voice.

It’s sad that guys like this still exist, but I can’t help but get a kick out of how utterly insane they are.

My annual rewatch of Magnolia... I've always loved PTA's use of closeups, and this one hit me hard this time around. Hoffman is so good here which is no surprises as he always was. But there's something about his face and the way he says he's trying to get a girlfriend and how he just goes so far above and beyond for the dying Earl. It's so moving. He's so human. I can only imagine the performances he would have given if he had 10, 20, or 30 more years. Sigh.

Saw this today. Incredibly beautiful as would be expected. Sound quality is unreal. Some very memorable shots.

I've seen online (and heard, at the theater) people calling the film an 'experiment' or that it's something totally new for Paul, and I'd strongly disagree with that. If you've seen Jonny, Thom and a CR78, or Joanna Newsom walking around the West Village in the video for Sapokanikan, or the Haim "Valentine" or "Hallelujah" videos, or his videos for The Smile, or ANY of the deleted scene compilations from The Master/Inherent Vice/Phantom Thread... (I could go on and on) then I don't really think this kind of visual looseness will be anything surprising to you - it's the kinda thing Paul does in his sleep. But I don't mean that as an insult at all. It's this side of his work that makes him my favorite filmmaker. And I'm glad people are taking note of how egoless and pared down his non-narrative work can be. But he's BEEN doing this shit.
