He turns 71 in a few days
Really? Wow--had no idea. I would never have guessed that Boogie Nights was made by someone almost 50; always thought PTA was around 30 at the time.

PTA is 50 now, he's referring to Elswit.

I'm laughing at myself...that makes sense.

Lol, I pointed that because I also misread it at first but realized that couldn't possibly be right.

Just watched Phantom Thread the other day and wow what a film... why do I have such a love/hate relationship with PTA? Couldn't stand Magnolia, Punch Drunk Love, and Inherent Vice but I adored Boogie Nights, There Will Be Blood and now Phantom Thread. What a weirdo.

yeah, they're shooting that up in Humboldt County. A bunch of PA's went into a thrift store multiple times to buy clothes for the extras, they're stoked

DiCaprio in a bathrobe and scenes of paramilitary forces would definitely fit.

Disappointed Leo isn't wearing the party dress and carrying the ladies' chainsaw.

PTA was shooting in downtown Sacramento on Saturday :D Sacramento Bee included this v bitchy aside in the report “The film is reportedly based on the Thomas Pynchon novel "Vineland." In a biting Associated Press review that ran in The Sacramento Bee on March 4, 1990, Mario Szichman called the novel "a sea of boredom, sailed by hardly recognizable characters." “Noted. Thx for that lmao “biting”
