A false auteur. His artistic merit is a superstition.

terrible hack

YOU'VE GOT THE MUSIC IN YOU

The Master > Inherent Vice = There will be Blood > Punch-drunk love > Boogie nights >>>> Hard Eight
haven't watched Magnolia yet All of his films excluding Punch-drunk love are at least 8/10 btw.

...

watched The Master last night. 9.8/10

I can't believe you just made me read that sentence with my own two eyes

A very dishonest filmmaker. Magnolia was his only honest film. You could feel the pain from that film.

>reading with your eyes
plebian

>I rate PTA

I'd rather read with your eyes user, if you catch my drift. ;)

>Nothing makes me madder than a soyboy fucking a tight demon. At least he got JUSTED and ended up destroying his bloodline with his 56%ers shat out by his ugly bitch wife.

Top 15 all time

He's the Kubrick of our generation

Kino as dick in mouth

best post I've read this month

Magnolia is one of the best films that has been made and will ever be made.

The master will go down as one of the all tine greats.

>tfw you will never be as cool as this guy

Good, but no great. Has imagination and is great at directing certain scenes, like that one in The Master where PSH sings to a nude audience, but that's it. Only saw Boogie Nights, The Master and TWBB of him. Boogie Nights is nice, but ultimatley boring, The Master could be much better, it isn't as deep as it sounds and, as with every film starring him, is ruined by Joaquin Phoenix. TWBB is great, have nothing to say against it

>it's nice
>it's great
Nice, great criticism.

Still hasn't discovered his own identity. All of his movies are just tributes to his favourite directors.

everything before in(co)herent vice is great

>All of his films excluding Punch-drunk love are at least 8/10 btw.
>Punch drunk love not last in the ranking
What did user mean by this?

likes characters, doesn't like stories

that punch drunk love is above 8/10 e.g 10/10 > 9/10 (PDL) > 8/10

the master > inherent vice > boogie nights > punch-drunk love > there will be blood > magnolia

can't remember anything about hard eight so i don't know where to put it
