In my opinion...the best writer/director of his age and generation.

@tabber87 In what way are PTA's pictures banal? I can see the general population saying that his films are banal because the general pop are used to big blockbusters and action films with explosions every 5 mins but I wouldn't expect someone who likes good movies to say that. I can see some similarities in blood as far as the use of music and the cinematography but not in the details or story of the picture. It's not like a Tarantino movie where everything is a rip off from other films.
-
@ButchClancyDubstep That really only supports my position that he is an utterly banal director who plagiarizes the works of truly great filmmakers.
However, if you couldn't detect a more than subtle Kubrickesque style in There Will Be Blood then I'm afraid this conversation is pointless.
-
@tabber87 Are you implying that his pictures are rip offs of Kubricks? I think that's pretty ridiculous, his movies really aren't similar to Kubricks at all. If anything magnolia resembles Robert Altmans "short cuts" just a 100 times better version.
-
magnolia is probably pta's weakest piece, but I still loved it. So far he's never disappointed.
-
He's a fan of Stanley Kubrick? I wouldn't have guessed that from EVERY FUCKING MOVIE HE'S MADE...
-
It'll be interesting to see what kind of movie The Master will be. If it's a movie about religious cults, you just know that PTA will be asked repeatedly about Tom Cruise and Scientology during its promotion. All I can think is that it's going to be a non-judgmental view of cults.

"pretentious" is what people who don't understand film call him. And what they'll probably call me after reading this comment.

PTA is underrated!!!
"Stanley Kubrick... The king". I agree with him.
