Is there anything this man can't do?
Make a blockbuster movie.
Magnolia is pretty cringeworthy.
PTA is the dictionary definition of entry level pleb cinema. he not only steals from better directors, but he does it without any irony like tarantino
i am personally fine with it though. because through PTA, all these freshmen college students will discover Robert Altman, who was the real deal. they will discover Scorsese, the most important American film director of our time, they will discover Kubrick, and the Coen Bros
through Altman, they will discover Renoir, through Kubrick, they will discover Ophuls, Scorsese to Fellini. suddenly they realize PTA was just a child with no original thoughts in his head, that his films just revolve around quoting better directors while adding epic catch phrases like "I drink your milkshake!" and "Pig fuck!" really there is no bigger clue in to how meaningless his cinema is when the only thing people discuss when mentioning his movies are 'le epic catch phrases, dude!'
you might say great artist steal, but what Picasso meant by this is that great artists are able to understand what works and manipulate it. PTA merely 'mimics'. this is why it is completely obvious who he is mimicking from film to film

he also looks attractive as fuck, no homo
>>67114702
This. It's starting to effect the types of movies he can actually direct, especially after Inherent Vice bombed.
Not really his fault since the quality is there, Hollywood marketeers can't sell anything that doesn't already sell itself.

I drink you're milkshake

Be as successful as his older, and more artistically gifted brother

Make a worthy adaptation of a Pynchon novel.
>>67114702
I'd actually be very interested if he made a capeshit one day. It could be good.
>>67114743
>someone once wrote this shit for real
>>67114846
This. He's still gotta put some dogs down.
Did anyone here see Junun? Completely forgot it existed, have to check it out soon
>>67115104
Pleb it's 101% correct
>>67115280
>>67114727
Correct. Trying too hard the movie. Without giving anything in return.
>>67114727
I love Magnolia, but checkout Short Cuts
>>67114727
>babby can't into entry-level arthouse
>>67115074

Make Inherent Vice awesome. He didn't do that. And I read the book 5 times.
>>67116650
It might as well be a stage play tbqh fambam
>>67114702
> implying he can't
he won't
>>67116650
The Master has poor cinematography, poor pacing, poor plot machinations, no humanity or understanding of it, poor acting, poor direction....
You said it yourself, you're a contrarian, only praising a film because it's considered bad by most.
>>67115718
Arthouse is meant to be cringey? Good to know
>>67116900
It was not IV, but it was really well thought out in its simple fashion of telling about loss. Less focus on time passing Doc by, and more focus on his love

The plebbiest of film crticisms

How does it feel to be objectively wrong?
l enjoy his films. His greatest talent seems to be casting and directing actors: Daniel Day-Lewis, P. S. Hoffman, Joaquin Phoenix, Burt Reynolds, and even Tom Cruise all shine in their roles.

Just go to the wikipedia page and read about the reception, it is praised except here
Have a female as a lead.
>>67119652

Make a good Pynchon adaption
>>67120156
Lierally no one could
>>67120091
>50% of humanity
>why though
I doubt he could do it anyways.
>>67119652
He makes music videos for Joanna Newsom and Fiona Apple. Does that count?
His last two movies have been awful.

better the film industry be sexist than succumb to your art by committee bullshit

I hate it when directors actually try when making movies.
