That is Cooper Hoffman, son of Phil Seymour Hoffman in the lead.

well this made me tear up! i did not know that. PSH was my absolute favorite for years, i was in line at HEB reading on my phone when i saw the news and i literally started crying in line 💔

also 2 of my top 10 movies are PTA (Boogie Nights and There Will Be Blood). the discussion elsewhere about both Tarantino and the Coen bros. 'retiring' soon was terribly depressing...please please please let PTA continue making excellent movies for a long time!

someone like me who doesn't do comic book/super hero movies... it's so damn refreshing for someone to do something interesting and unique.

The past couple of PTA movies have had no endings but they were still great visually

Um. Phantom Thread had a great ending.

That high school looks familiar.  Hmmm.

it's like paul thomas anderson made a cameron crowe movie. 

which works out, because cameron crowe isn't even doing that anymore.

[fellside 1114]

In the very first shot in the trailer, he looks so much like PSH.

I dig Haim, but does she have much acting experience? I know she’s done some TV writing.

you know they say Cooper is really the best of the Hoffmans.

Being in a rock group is plenty of acting experience, right? I feel like most musicians are good actors.

Looks like this is her first role per IMDB.

[capnamerca 572]

Flawless choice of song for that trailer, though.

You can never go wrong with Bowie. The best ever was the German version of "Heroes" at the end of JoJo Rabbit.

As for this. Sean Penn? Why did it have to be Sean Penn? (Apparently, Ben Stiller is in it too but I don't think I saw him at all in the trailer.)

This might have something to do with it (see pic of PTA's Filmography at IMDB). I didn't know PTA has done as much music as he has. And is Inherent Vice (2014) really the last feature-length movie he's directed? I've started and stopped that movie a dozen times, I bet. It's been on my DVR for 2+ years.

Phantom Thread - 2017. Much better than Inherent Vice.

Makes sense.  Seems like PTA is a bit of a Haim fanboy, and maybe was persuaded with Alana's acting potential.

my buddy worked at a Music +.   I worked at a pizza joint a few doors down.  He thought his job was cooler, because they listened to records all day.  I reminded him that I had access to draft beer all day. 

 

Anyway, "Ratt" made a personal appearance at his store when they were promoting their first record.    For the next several years (until the chain folded), that store had a large "Meet Ratt Here" poster...hanging over the toilet.

I thought the exact same thing.

Man I hope this is good.

I was glad when it ended. I don't remember much of anything about it other than the excellence of the secondary character played by Leslie Manville.

But, it's all subjective.

[veritas aequitas 443]

Seen all his movies other than Phantom Thread, that one even with DDL didn't hook me. This one looks interesting.

I'll have to watch it again.

Spoiler

It's subtle - but iirc isn't the reveal that she gives him food poisoning so she can care of him? I thought that was very well done.

And glad when it ended =/= doesn't have a good ending.

I don't think my post says otherwise.

Fair enough. Assumed you were who I replied to initially. 

[tantric superman 4667]

This film just made the list.

[billfromlaketravis 11521]

Looks good. 

I'd say PTA is due for a big win.

More on the billboard here. But yeah my eyes got big when I saw that in the trailer.

Ahhhh the Sherman Oaks Galleria. Quite a history for a shitty mall.

I cannot believe they named a movie after the LP record store chain. Holy fuck. It was a great store but always 2nd fiddle to Tower.

Love this pic from the article linked above.

Whatever dude, you're the kinda Damone ripoff that says, "Put on side 1 of Led Zeppelin 4" and then puts on side 2 of Physical Graffiti, record 1's "Kashmir."

Funny thing is Amy Heckerling didn't notice that until post production, but decided to leave it to emphasize what a dork Rat was in getting it wrong.

Have tickets to see 70mm day after thanksgiving. Can’t fucking wait.

[billfromlaketravis 11521]

So when will the plebs in Texas have the opportunity to see this movie?

Indeed. Sometime I worry that a great song + beautiful cinematic images in a trailer papers over a shitty 120 minute narrative.

I hope not. I feel like i am starving for a good movie [from anyone] these days.

Update: Licorice Pizza fucking ruled. A mess  at times with totally unnecessary and outlandish scenes,  but the “funnest” movie PTA has done in years.
