THE MASTER Has A Theatrical Trailer!
Nordling here.
I've been wanting to see this since those first teasers. This looks to be a feast of amazing filmmaking, and this is just a taste of what is to come. At this point, Paul Thomas Anderson is one of our most important directors and I can't wait for what THE MASTER has in store for us. Seriously, as a film fan, how can you not like this?

Can't wait.

fishing film?

I wonder if the CoS local stranglehold will force some theaters not to carry it.

And it is PTA who is the clear favorite to continue where Staney and Marty left off. This looks fucking perfect! Well done Paul. You keep improving after each outing.

Somehow, it kept reminding me of L. Ron Hubbard, and not in a good way

Needs to go away forever. Best Picture of 2012. I'm calling it.

Juaqin looks like 50 miles of dragged deer carcass...
by Blarg Barfington
But that just makes him more interesting to look at. I can tell he hasn't lost his acting chops and may have even gotten better during his self-imposed exile. Anderson is certainly an excellent storyteller so I'm very interested in this.
-
Isn't that the point?
-
other than the sing-a-long part in magnolia PTA has only produced brilliance, I agree with nordling, definitely one of the most important american directors going
-
We KNOW it'll be great because it's from the director of There will be blood, Punch drunk love, Magnolia and Boogie Nights BUT if you saw the EXACT same trailer except it was from an unknown and you didn't know the 3 leads, none of us with say MY GOD! IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S GONNA BE THE BEST FILM OF THE YEAR... Am I right?
-
In what way? Hoffman's physical resemblence? The direct quotes from L Ron Hubbard? The fact that it's based on Hubbard's life?

Ghoulardi's son has done it again!

Few people are as captivating to watch as Hoffman and a string-out Phoenix. Looks great.

PTA is my hero

can't wait for it to open

Looks good, and a PT Anderson film is a must see as he's always making interesting stuff
by lv_426
I still need to get around to seeing Punch Drunk Love, as that is the only one of his films I haven't seen yet. I've enjoyed PT Anderson's other films though. I wasn't a fan of Boogie Nights right away, but have come to appreciate it over time. Magnolia was excellent, as was There Will Be Blood. I thought There Will Be Blood was better than Best Picture winner No Country For Old Men back in 2007, or 2008 I think it was.
-
PTA just seems to be getting better with each film. This looks so unique and beautiful. I will be there opening weekend!
-
Definition of a babe!

You got it right, lv_426

kevinmuller -- yeah, the cinematography looks really great in this
by lv_426
Not necessarily vintage or too retro looking, but also not glossy and sterile like a lot of modern day films look.
-
PTA really knows how to make a film, and the chance we might get something on the level of another There Will be Blood is astounding. Dare I say it?This might even be better?
-
That was on another level of good. It's a true artist at work. It's hard to even comprehend. Anyone who doesn't like it or hates on it is behind a child.
-
AICNers in the Clearwater/St. Petersburg area will probably never see this movie in theaters.

I just don't want Swinestein to win a 3rd BP in a row.
by Paul Hanlin Jr
Overkill deluxe.
-
PTA is, was and always will be on the fringe.
-
I seriously have no idea what this movie is about. I like PTA and consider Boogie Nights and Magnolia absolutely perfect films.
-
it looks beautiful!
-
So is Philip Seymore Hoffman playing L. Ron Hubbard before he founded Scientology?
-
Nice job, Lance!

There Will Be Blood was not so much better than No Country
by Brank Hud
so much as it was a different tone. Those were 2 great films that are a little unfairly compared. I will grant that there is a certain timeless quality to TWBB, and it is certainly a masterpiece, but it just doesn't feel right to me to say that it's "better" than NCFOM, which is also a masterpiece. They both have spectacular (if cerebral) endings. If you ate the best orange you ever had in your life, and then you ate the best apple you ever had in your life, how can you can say which one is better? You can only give your subjective opinion as to which type of fruit you prefer overall. These two movies are perfect examples of their type and cannot be compared like that. If TWBB was going to loose the Oscar, it lost it to a worthy film, as PTA is undoubtedly aware.
-
I wish they had waited to do Walk The Line, cause he's really starting to look like Cash as he ages. And Cash always looked about 15 years older than he was.
-
Im going to do a little drinking, go to arcade, and then maybe do some exercise.
-
TDKR, Master, and Django are on my list. Lincoln? Let's see a trailer! Moonrise Kingdom is the only 2012 movie I've seen so far so it's defacto #1 - and a tough one to beat.

At the end of the evening I might watch a porno and rub my lulla
by ajit maholtra
-
Is PSH another regeneration of The Master? What's his game? Is there a twist at the end where The Doctor shows up in the Tardis and defeats his nefarious scheme?
-

Anyone else going to rub their lulla tonight? Or is it just me?
by ajit maholtra
All the time Im rubbing.
-
July 19, 2012, 9:31 p.m. CST
actually @julieandrewsslutswool, PTA was totally robbed. TWBB is a FAR FAR FAR FAR FAR FAR FAAAAAAAAAR better film than NCFOM
by la te ral us
the reason you can't compare them is because TWBB is in a totally different league. the coens got the scorsesse sympathy award. that was one of the biggest oscar tragedies in recent memory.
-
Imho, of course. TWBB is about 45 minutes of a great movie, and it includes (yet another) great performance from DDL. But the movie disappears up its own ass around the time the oil rig goes up in flames - also around the point PTA drops Upton Sinclair's "Oil" and goes back to his standard makeshift family story. (See also: Hard Eight, Boogie Nights, Magnolia.) The Paul Dano character is far too broad -- not his fault -- and the ending is both ludicrous (*nobody* was losing money in 1927) and overblown (DDL has won as soon as he gets to the milkshake bit -- killing Dano is overkill.) I'll say this from PTA. I've gone from loathing his movies -- I almost walked out of Magnolia and still detest Punch Drunk Love -- to being intrigued by what he's doing. At least he seems to be trying to evolve, unlike QT...speaking of disappearing up one's own ass.

CLEAR EYES FULL HEARTS CAN'T LOSE

No Country: Best picture, director(s), supporting actor, adapted screenplay. TWBB: Best lead actor, best cinematography.

no giant robots? no big explosions? call me when there is a reboot

btw, im starting a kickstarter to rent a print and show it right in front of the hollywood celeb center
by walt

At least someone in the US wants to make real films. Yet NCFOM blows TWBB of the map. Nobody fucks with Cormac Mcarthy, He is our greatest living writer right now.
-
looks really good though...excellent cinematography
-
the "topic" left me uninterested. Will still check it out.
-
And I say that as someone who likes his movies. The second he does anything people start throwing out over the top adjectives and compliments that it seems like hyperbole most of the time. When people act like PTA is the only person capable of "making art" or some shit, I just want to be like calm down. With that being said, I think this movie looks pretty damn good.
-
Magnolia and There Will Be Blood have enormous problems as films, certainly as narratives. Punch Drunk Love and Boogie Nights are great character studies but not much else. There are several directors working on this guy's level and they don't get showered with this kind of praise. Why is he such the fanboy crush?

reports are that Tom Cruise was given a private screening of this by PTA, and Tom Cruise was very not happy with the movie - very not happy at all.

For a second a thought this was a Biopic about L. Ron Hubbard.
by Phategod2
I actually looked it up.
-
PTA has directed 5 movies (not counting Master) and maybe 2 have been good, what makes him so much better then Nolan, Speilberg, or any other Directer with a pedigree?
-
i've liked all of them. even the adam sandler one and i can't usually watch him at all.
-
It stroked a panda which smoked Cubans and played petanque. I SAW A BANANA ONCE; IT WAS YELLOW.
-
When they posted the first trailer, I just thought this was an original film about a man with mental problems and a therapist who tries to help him. Now, I keep hearing all this stuff about Scientology. Half the people who post say it is about it, half say it isn't. So what's the actual scoop? Incidentally, either way it looks fantastic. And not because of Anderson fanboyism, it just looks tense, and well-acted, and atmospheric. No matter what connection it does or doesn't have to some chintzy Hollywood space-cult, I'm looking forward to it.
-
Nolan had hiss ass handed to him by the talkbackers over TDKR maybe this is Anderson's turn
-
LOL CLIO LOL
-
I thought i would throw my 2 cents in. First Batman Begins is way better than part 2. Part 2 is to long, and all over the place. As far as There will be blood vs No country for old men goes, there is no competition. I can watch NCFOM every time its on tv. TWBB is a 5 minutes at a time kind of film. I admit DDL is the best actor working, but 5 minutes is all that movie get before its time to change it. Same for Punch Drunk love and just about every other fill PTA has made. This movie looks great though.

pretentious douchebag, John Lithgow has a really very big head
by ajit maholtra
He really does look like an alien.
-
and he flipped out, seeing that it was a thinly veiled critique of Scientology. I'll definitely check it out. There Will Be Blood was amazing.
-
Even if it WASN'T a PT Anderson picture, the trailer STILL looks like we have some INSANE FILM in our hands.
-

Hopefully its a more scathing indictment than the trailer shows
by Psycho_Kenshin
From the trailer it reminds me a little of "W", in that a movie on a hated man oddly enough kind of showed why people like him, and tried to humanize him. This gives me that vibe, it doesn't look like it's as much of a direct attack on Scientology as I'd hope it would be. Still, looks interesting.
-
...for me, have become events, much like Malick's and Kubrick films before them. Very excited for this.
-
For me "There will be blood" was THE most disappointing movie of the last couple of years and having seen the available "Master"-trailers so far I don't think PTA's new one will be any different. Damn good poster though. I like J. Phoenix as an actor but here he has "GIVE! ME! MY! GODDAMN! OSCAR!" written on his forehead in every scene he's in. And I don't like that.
