    No it’s not! I get LP being a step down from the sweeping opuses that are TWBB and PT, but Magnolia and Inherent are not trash. That just isn’t a serious thing let alone a good observation.

    They're not touching There Will Be Blood, so theyre subpar in comparison

    PTA always seems to alternate between making trash (Magnolia, Licorice Pizza, Inherent Vice) and classics (Master, TWBB, Phantom Thread)

    Hoping this one is a heater

    You do realize The Master came right after TWBB? Wasn’t no alternate. You might wanna check his filmography first before sayin random s***

    @Jonboi based off the pics, still thinking this could be Vineland?

    Well he’s definitely giving Zoyd Wheeler vibes …
    Would love if he does a modern remix of the book

    Magnolia is super classic

    I always wanted to get into PTA. My first movie was licorice pizza lol and I didn’t like it. Figured it’s just some mid career nostalgia project type of movie.

    I watched there will be blood and the master over the weekend though and damn I didn’t like blood too much and didn’t like the master at all and I was super excited to watch both, been putting them off for years now. Blood was good and some amazing scenes but honestly I should’ve watched it like 10 years ago it feels super overrated if you watch it just now. The master is crazy I couldn’t find anything redeeming about it. I’m still super excited to check out his other stuff, betting big on phantom thread, boogie nights and magnolia but yeah starting off rough

    I watched some more of his movies but this is the end of my PTA January marathon. movies im yet to watch but really want to are Punk-Drunk Love, Inherent Vice, and Hard Eight. im in no rush to do that though

    of everything I saw I liked Boogie Nights the best. I guess it's a common thing to compare PTA to Scorsese, at least for some of his shooting and editing choices. it's especially apparent with BN but I liked it on its own too

    Magnolia was p good but the mid section was severely overcooked with all the crazy music and literally f***ing nothing happening for like a solid 40 minutes of it it was fine though. that singing segment || was kinda odd but thinking back it was endearing. || frog rain was a very fun turn of events and im glad I had no idea it's in the movie. it could grow on me on further rewatches for sure

    Phantom Thread was basically a better version of The Master although the movie is frigging weird PTA really likes annoying characters huh

    my final top 3 is

    1. Boogie Nights
    2. Phantom Thread
    3. Magnolia (shouts to TWBB)
