Dunno how to feel about what the film's doing with homophobia for a couple scenes- maybe shouldn't have included that subplot given this film's context

Why? What context

Watching tmm

Is it top PTA?
Favorite PTA film is PDL
Best film is there will be blood

The film includes a scene showing two gay men who love each other but are obviously unhappy because one of them is more worried about how society will respond to their identities. This is shown right before Alanna runs off to find Gary (they run off to find each other but Alanna has been shown to question her desire for Gary much more than vice versa, which feels slightly important because she was perhaps inspired a little bit by the other man's sadness) and they kiss and she says she loves him before the movie ends. That seems like a weird juxtaposition to include, because the taboo surrounding gay relationships (particularly for the 70s) is of a very different nature compared to the taboo of the age gap here

Nigga said big blockbuster dude like he knows me

You told me your favourite movie is Planet Of The Apes did you not?

Nigga what

I have to rewatch to decide but you really cant compare this to TWBB bro

No unless you love this type of film

What was up with the long haired stalker guy? Thought it was a Taxi Driver reference but then hes at Wachs dinner with his bf, was he planning to assasinate him?

Heard it’s closer to Boogie Nights then anything

Someone trying to out him I'm guessing. He definitely gave off possible killer vibes

A very lackluster PTA but still a PTA. I’ll be rewatching soon

accurate but less structured

you're obsessed with Planet Of The Apes

yeah the guy was trying to out the councilman for being gay, which is why the councilman had alana come and walk home with his boyfriend so they wouldn't be spotted/confronted

PTA has movies with writing that’s a little tighter and more clever but this is the movie by him that’s supplemented my life the most and meant the most to me. It’s my favorite of his even if he has “better” movies I guess.

Dope reasoning.
That’s what it’s about bro, listen to your heart.

the new one wouldve been ye at that point right?

W for late reg anyways

Pretty sure he was hinting at Ye and maybe had heard some early draft version of it because that was like 4 months before Ye was officially released. TLOP was 2 years old at that point so I don’t think he’d be referring to that.

Not sure how I feel about that ending
