He's my second favorite filmmaker behind Kubrick. What do you find frustrating about his work?i haven't seen 'magnolia' but i bet i know what it's like, p.t. anderson films are always cool but frustrating
I disagree with you about TWBB, but I can understand why you say that. His first movie, Hard Eight, certainly had all the problems you mentioned, but it was apparently altered by the studio rather than Anderson. Boogie Nights is his only other movie I've seen and that seemed the most smooth flowing of the three. I'd recommend seeing it again if you can.i just find him pretty unfocused and inconsistent, his stuff needs editing big style. take there will be blood for example, damn good flick but i feel like a few awkward transitions and unnecessary scenes kept it from quite being the brilliant citizen kane/giant reinterpretation it could've been. a lot of the stuff at the end was badly done for example.
actually i love punch drunk love and i can't remember boogie nights well at all, i probably shouldn't be criticising.
watSo I've just discovered Turkish superhero films, and I must say they kick insane amounts of ass. There are so many reasons to love them, just one tiny one being Spiderman strangling a woman in the shower.
