Fair enough, I'd understand if you were referring to The Master and There Will Be Blood, but his earlier stuff like Boogie Nights and Magnolia (to a certain degree) are little more easier to digest for a casual audience.

There will be Blood was actually a little better for me than Boogie Nights or Magnolia. ...a little.

I haven't read the Pynchon novel, but this sounds amazing. PTA is my favorite living director and I'm curious to see him work with Robert Downey Jr.

I'll probably read the novel afterwards. I don't want the film to lose a bit of its impact.

I read about half of the novel, it was enjoyable enough but I put it away because I didn't want to see how it ended.

Besides, I'm sure PTA will take some liberties anyway.

And sure I would've loved RDJ in this, but Joaquin's not bad and with Charlize (!) rumored; in what is a Long Goodbye+The Big Lebowski concoction (with a PTA twist)--this project is so far up my alley it's paying rent.

In glad Jpaquin got the main role. There wasn't a better performance in 2012 than that of Freddie Quell in the Master.

I agree completely with Abdrewes.

Joaquin's performance is one of the best I've seen the last couple of years. I really wish he would have got the Oscar. He's an elite actor in these times.

I have no doubt he'll be able to play the role organically.

Definitely. The crazy thing is that although the performance is larger than life, it never felt like just a tick or that he was channeling another legendary actor. He went out on a limb and it payed off brilliantly.

Really excited to hear more news about the cast. Hopefully their will be some big names starring in it so people will actually see it, especially since Warner Bros is financing.

started reading the book and their is definitely a lot of offbeat humor in it. It's really good so far.

Edit: Someone should edit the title of this thread
