 For no reason at all I decided to list every movie by Paul Thomas Anderson and Paul WS Anderson in chronological order. When I did so I realised you could watch every single PTA film in a double feature with a PWSA film. Here's how: --- PRELUDE: First, watch Shopping (PWSA, 1994) -- which is also Jude Law's first major role! -- before starting on the first four double features. DOUBLE FEATURE 1: Mortal Kombat (PWSA, 1995) and Hard Eight (PTA, 1996) DOUBLE FEATURE 2: Event Horizon (PWSA, 1997) and Boogie Nights (PTA, 1997) DOUBLE FEATURE 3: Soldier (PWSA, 1998) and Magnolia (PTA, 1999) DOUBLE FEATURE 4: Resident Evil (PWSA, 2002) and Punch-Drunk Love (PTA, 2002) INTERLUDE 1: Then, watch Alien Vs. Predator (PWSA, 2004), then the next two Resident Evil films (Apocalypse, 2004, and Extinction, 2007), which weren't by PWSA but are needed to catch up before his next outing in the franchise. You can also watch AVP: Requiem (2007) if you like, even though PWSA wasn't involved. Then... DOUBLE FEATURE 5: There Will Be Blood (PTA, 2007) and Death Race (PWSA, 2008) - NB: Death Race had a bunch of direct-to-DVD sequels that PWSA produced, but I'd recommend steering clear of them. INTERLUDE 2: Next watch Resident Evil: Afterlife (PWSA, 2010) and The Three Musketeers (PWSA, 2011) to catch up before the most special double feature of all... DOUBLE FEATURE 6: The Master (PTA, 2012) and Resident Evil: Retribution (PWSA, 2012) - These two films came out on the exact same day in 2012 in the US! What a momentous day in cinema history. After this special occasion we coast to the end with three more double features: DOUBLE FEATURE 7: Pompeii (PWSA, 2014) and Inherent Vice (PTA, 2014) DOUBLE FEATURE 8: Resident Evil: The Final Chapter (PWSA, 2016) and The Phantom Thread (PTA, 2017) DOUBLE FEATURE 9: Monster Hunter (PWSA, 2020) and Soggy Bottom (PTA, 2021) - NB: Save this one for November when Soggy Bottom is due to release --- Final notes: I left out other films PWSA was a producer only on, like the excellent sci-fi horror Pandorum (2009). I also left out PWSA's TV film The Sight (2000), which I've heard is bad. I plan to watch through all the films by these two master directors over the next year or so, following the plan above. Happy viewing, everyone!

I love the idea of them being one filmmaker, and that he was just hustling super hard making schlock to pay off his artsy indie films.

I like to imagine that they're conjoined twins and so, like, they trade off doing films so they can be on the other set and maybe they'll give each other advice but also they tend to bicker even though they love each other cause they're literally connected by their torsos and if you separated them they would die within minutes

Christopher Guest presents: The Magnificent Andersons Starring Bob Balaban as Paul Thomas Anderson and Michael McKean as Paul WS Anderson E: I should have actually looked at what the two directors look like. Now I have, I can confidently say that Michael Shannon should play PTA, and Chris O'Dowd should play PWSA Hedrigall fucked around with this message at 00:09 on May 25, 2021 |

When I met PTA I asked him if he enjoyed working with Milla Jovovich so frequently. It took him a second and then he laughed.

Darko posted:Babe Pig in the City is super his style though. Babe 1, not so much. Both movies have the same style, almost exactly. The sequel's tone is just far darker. My instinct was that it was a Poltergeist situation where George Miller functioned during production as a co-director while being only a producer and writer on paper. Nothing to substantiate this, only that Babe is a ludicrously excellent movie and the only person out of Noonan and Miller that has made other excellent movies is Miller.

TychoCelchuuu posted:He didn't direct Babe 1. As Cheeseman said, I've heard the "ghost director" thing with Babe like I did with Poltergeist (and parts of Poltergeist are super super obviously so Spielberg I agree with a good chunk possibly having his direct control).
