What's ridiculous is that DDL has done only 6 movies since "Last Of The Mohicans".

PJ...have u seen the original 3:10?

No; I'm actually not a fan of Classic Westerns... I only like the genre when it's revisionist.

oh...well having seen the original and knowing the storyline...just having Bale in the farmer role and Crowe in the criminal role tells me the movie is gonna be friggin awesome. Plus peter fonda and Ben foster help to.

Cop Land had Robert DeNiro and Harvey Keitel in it (and Ray Liotta helps too), but it was still mediocre and forgettable.

Walk the Line had Joaquin Phoenix as Johnny [censored] Cash, not to mention Reese Witherspoon.

Identity had Liotta with John Cusack, also helped by John C. McGinley, Alfred Molina, and Amanda Peet -- and it sucked!

I'm telling you, Mangold is the kiss of death. Everything he touches turns to sh|t.

Re: WOW ZOMGWTFBBQ Part II: new Paul Thomas Anderson trailer!!!
 

Walk the Line was good
Heavy was good
Identity wasn't great but it was as good as your average mindless thriller that is released now a days.
Cop Land wasn't any good....
The actors are great and I know people who have seen it and they all had very favorable reviews despite the fact it was a western...so I'm going more of that than anything.

and I think Angelina Jolie, Joaquin Phoenix, and Reece Witherspoon would disagree with your "turns to [censored]" opinion.

wtf @ PTA over david lynch... but i liked that trailer

Re: WOW ZOMGWTFBBQ Part II: new Paul Thomas Anderson trailer!!!
 

I just realized that trailer is different from the first I saw.
Well done in my view...unless u don't like westerns.

Who has made 4 better films in the same time span?

Re: WOW ZOMGWTFBBQ Part II: new Paul Thomas Anderson trailer!!!
 

Wow. I had no idea this was what PTA was up to. Looks absolutely awesome.

I can't believe nobody has mentioned the movie that to me this most looks like (from the trailer anyway): Heaven's Gate. No? Might this be the masterpice that HG so wanted to be? Jesus I hope so. Maybe HG except with Cimino's epic vision, Mallick's extraordinaty lighting/imagery and PTA'a sense of style, story and characterisation? Oh my God I might explode with anticipation!!! Bring. It. On.

............................

Now, on to a very, very important matter: Magnolia. People, please. If you don't recognise this movie as a stone-cold masterpiece, you simply were not looking closely enough. Please, please, please get it out again and please re-consider.

I have NEVER seen a movie with such seemingly serious themes TOTALLY, TOTALLY hijack itelf not once but TWICE with the kind of breathtaking filmaking bravado that 99.99% of directors would crap themselves if they even thought about doing.

Think about the enormity of the cincematic vision in those 2 moments. Think about how those 2 moments TOTALLY re-inforce and amplify the themes of the movie even though they shouldn't, because they are essentually ridiculous moments in a serious movie. I weep for the sheer, brazen artictic audacity of such a thing. I have never seen anything like it.

Please reconsider Magnolia. Along with Goodfellas and one or two others it is in the Top 5 movies of the 90's, and therefore, by definition, one of the best films ever made.
