AC1 3,565 Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 The Master is probably my least favorite one.

AC1 3,565 Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Like I said, too much close-ups. It's like Legend, it starts off beautiful with lots of long and medium shots, but after a while all you get to see are actors' faces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naïve Old Fart 6,637 Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Last week, I went to see the 3D IMAXed-up "The Wizard Of Oz" (not bad).Anyway, they were running a trailer for "Paddington". The other people in the theatre must have thought I was having a meltdown, or something, because I guffawed my way through it! basically, the trailer consisted of Paddington's (mis)adventures in the Brown's bathroom. Funny, or what? Can't wait for the movie! And it has the lovely Hugh Bonneville. If I ever had a man-crush, it would be over Hugh Bonneville...

mrbellamy 5,231 Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 BTW, it's funny how Witherspoon looks entirely film noirish while Phoenix doesn't.Is this a film noir? I thought we were getting something closer to the Boogie Nights vibe.I finished the book last week and I have even less of an idea what to expect. I enjoyed it but it's pretty far out, a series of truly bizarre situations and characters which overpower the convoluted and at times nonsensical mystery at the center. It's definitely not going to be a straight film noir, early reports have compared it more to a cross between The Big Lebowski and The Long Goodbye with a bit of Airplane! and Cheech & Chong thrown in for good measure. From Hitfix's report:"It's BONKERS — weird, weird, weird," one person who saw the film told me. "It made me laugh out loud several times, but not in the ways you might expect. The humor is not so much 'Boogie Nights,' as I think a lot of people are expecting. For reals, it tips into, like, Zucker Bros.-level gags and broad humor. But, obviously, mixed with his other sensibilities. Strange, beguiling tone."Others who have seen it have mentioned that certain moments had a "Big Lebowski" vibe. "It's a sui generis mix of broad comedy, suspense, romance, melancholy and a touch of menace — unlike anything I can think of," said another.I'm told Josh Brolin stands out in the supporting ranks and that Martin Short's work as a druggie dentist is "batshit insane." Another compared the film to Robert Altman's "The Long Goodbye," starring Elliot Gould, "but amped up to 11." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Thomas Anderson talks more about that cross between noir and slapstick comedy in this New York Times article, while avoiding speculation on Thomas Pynchon's involvement.

I don't normally watch trailers but after noticing someone say it looks funny I hit play and watched the first minute before switching it off. Don't want to spoil any more of the jokes.
