paul thomas anderson and charlie rose part 1

[MMQUAIDS]

PTA is my hero!

[nobigdeal84]

PTA crushes Quentin Taran....whatever the fuck his name is!

[wearetheom]

AMAZING FELLOW

[mizkex]

I love PTA no matter what. He's my favorite, but here he looks like a cross between Stephen Hawking and one of the Beetles (during their younger years), but whatever. What I like most about Paul is that he writes and directs his ideas.

[slangshotstudios]

charlie easy on whiskey

[PanterAmetal100]

Seems to be like modest and generous guy... who makes great movies

[mykylc]

You can really tell he likes Charlie a lot! They could talk for days.

[TheCrocxxx]

6:56 Burt hates him.

[TheCrocxxx]

6:15 Burt hates him!

[DonRMB]

"It was finally called 'Hard eight'.. Those of us who love it call it 'Sydney'" Wow just wow.. I was not expecting Charlie Rose to say that haha You can tell Paul loved that..

[TheBenhameeno]

Fuck Charlier rose on this interview. He played into so many awkward moments in an agresive way.

[2505994]

thank you for upload

pt is the best

[wordorbit]

i think its a little ridiculous to compare tarantino to pta. they attempt to make very different sorts of movies and they are both brilliant.

[Mrsilenciobackgammon]

He's much better than Tarantino. Tarantino could never have made There Will Be Blood.

[jacholas330]

@Mrsilenciobackgammon While I do agree with you, its almost like comparing apples and oranges. Tarantino has a much campier style while PTA is just perfect and almost surreal at times.

[Mrsilenciobackgammon]

@jacholas330 Very true, well said. I like them both, I'm just sick of people un-educated in film stating that Tarantino is the second coming of Movie Christ, while he is not even the best in this era.

[Anxiousloth]

@Mrsilenciobackgammon and PTA could never have made Pulp Fiction

[Mrsilenciobackgammon]

@Anxiousloth Why move to a smaller house.

[MattyLeeschl0ng1990]

if leo was in boogie night...wow!

[countchunkula]

Holy crap when he was younger he kinda looked like Paul Dano, who plays Eli in there Will Be Blood.

[mim5583]

This guy may look like a nerd, but so what. The guy is an AMAZING filmaker, one of the best right now.

[calciumkid85]

That was him??? I barely recognize him. If he doesn't talk i wouldn't know that this guy was PT. How old was he then?

He seems really like a nerd (but also oozing his intelligence)

I'm an aspiring filmmaker and i hope i would make my very first film feature before i turn 30. Well, that's my goal..just like orson wells, steven spielberg, quentin tarantino and paul thomas anderson who already made an amazing debut while they were in the mid 20-ish

[jymiurine]

@calciumkid85 who cares if you make a film before 30? id say your goal should be to make a good film that can be enjoyed by people and not just some piece of shit just to make a film in your 20s like the "greats". i love most of those filmmakers who you named but there is many amazing filmmakers that made their mark after 30

[calciumkid85]

@jymiurine Hai, thanks for the response.. well, i mean that should be better, right? at least as a motivation. Cause, that goal will rush my "hormone" to write a well-written script then to shoot it in near future. How could that be a bad thing?

Although,there are also plenty of "the greatest" whom just made film when they already were 30 or over (that i also have favourited all along) but, PT and QT are prime example of successful young filmmakers, who doesn't want to be that person?

[bigmanamana]

Happy Birthday To You, PTA!!!

[zombiemonster]

since its a film that takes place in the 70's, Anderson really looks the part

[DoubleK]

Thanks for posting.

[sweden92]

I love the way he said; It felt so good when we were makin it, we had so much fun.

Great interview-great guys.

[killerlipsonrai]

there will be blood has been one of the few films i've watched that has literally fucking blown my mind.

[tuskopotamus]

You've used the word "literally" in the exact opposite way that the word was intended.

[nightbreedx1]

hey tuskopotamus your post was so pompus that my eyes literally fell out of my skull

[tuskopotamus]

I was literally just ripping off a David Cross bit.

[Stargraph81]

@killerlipsonrai literally?

[bronsosaurus1]

he's become much less of a dork over the years

[NZfootballfan666]

Paul Thomas Anderson is the best American director currently working, going on current form. He may even be the world's best. There Will Be Blood is the best film of the decade. Hoping for more brilliance

[93johnk]

what? martin scorsese is still working dipshit

[Tigerlily21]

Paul is the best looking director to me! He was nerdy looking here because of the glasses and hair but when he cut it off like now, his cuteness shows through. He's just adorable the way he talks too.

[Marcusx1980]

Looks are not everything ;)

PTA was a prime example of that.

I love his movies.

Boogie Nights is my favorite movie by him.

So talented :)

[rdub1050]

i would place this behind both magnolia and there will be blood. PTA is my favorite director for sure though.

[chimpiki]

PTA really isn't that bad looking, especially now that he's gotten older. If you want the prime example of looks not being everything, look at Tarantino.

[Johnnyo743]

@chimpiki or stanely kubrick

[MattieCooper]

Paul is Great!

[johnnycitystar]

He looks like a young bill gates

[FunBoy15]

damn im glad they had mark wahlberg instead of dicaprio. i love dicaprio's work but mark wahlberg was PERFECT for the role.

[tommyt1971]

Just too bad Wahlberg never became a truly accepted actor, he had a lotta potential.

[TMVPCIARH]

What are you talking about? He was nominated for an Oscar.

[kreed82]

but boogie nighrs was a succes because the director had a vision and brought that magic to screen..The cast was also stellar but while dirk dggler was a central character wahlbergs performance wasnt anything special at all..People always say this movie was the performance of his life..Which is wrong, this just happened to be the best movie he was privileged to be a part of..

[bluebettle]

I'm really, really glad he didn't get Jason Lee in the role.

[nuggetstorm]

WOW! He looks so much better now ay.

[HITWgang]

I know!! He was so nerdy looking then. And now he's just so cool and awesome. What a transformation!

[jakespick]

[about Wahlberg] "He's smart and he's smooth...and...and...and...and­..." roflmao.

[jkesil]

he was kind of embarassed in the interview, especially talking about hard things like giving the part to the actors who weren;t chosen at first

[trulysarcastic]

great movie, PTA rules

[ReedRothchild]

my favorite movie of all time !!!!

[Vameon]

He was alot more talkative then.

[chin6226]

Yeah...i miss those days, but still like him!

[peteagassi]

@chin6226 God, this guy is such a nerd! And his films suck!

[MrMackeyMmmkay]

@peteagassi Oh hell no. PTA is a master filmmaker.

[calciumkid85]

@MrMackeyMmmkay don't get bother that was just a troll . Come on, who's gonna buy that?

[FuckingAlpaccino]

@peteagassi you're a joke, shallow and stupid. But i don't hate you, I just want to kick the shit out of you.

[rockyhorror1297]

@FuckingAlpaccino lol you should drink his milkshake!! wtf is he talking about P.T is amazing

[SideshowJared]

@Vameon Yeah, I think he had that Tarantino / Scorsese enthusiasm at first due to general excitement, being a young guy, drugs, and less expectations for his work. He's now taking a more Kubrick approach, where he's barely interviewed anymore, unless it's in Europe, and he doesn't do commentaries (after "Boogie Nights") or even include behind the scenes on his dvd's (after "Magnolia"). The more cryptic and mysterious his films have become, the less willing he is to talk about them. Mystique.

[ned262626]

@Vameon he had a coke problem back then

[20cleve]

I call it Sydney.

[SixStringGunSlinger]

he is very possibly my all time favorite director...very easily in my top 5...but he used to look like such a...NERD!...lol...brilliant director still!

[ahegele]

wow. he looked so different ten years ago. Spread the love for PTA.

[freetownguy]

woow PTA!!!
