If you were already looking forward to Paul Thomas Anderson’s upcoming film The Master, his first since his 2007 masterpiece There Will Be Blood, prepare to wet your pants with anticipation. While you may have to wait until October 12, 2012 to catch it here in the states, that won’t prevent you from watching the first trailer over and over again, before posting it to Facebook and Twitter and Tumblr, calling your mom, and having everybody think you’re a weirdo for wanting to see another movie made by that guy who made that really long, boring movie with hardly any music about an oil man who liked milkshakes.
Seriously though, check this out. I can already smell the Oscars.
I drink your milkshake! I drink it up!
it might win the Best Movie Ever oscar
I was a little concerned about this subject that PTA was tackling this time; would he alienate a large cross section of Hollywood? as if it were my problem. I allowed myself about 54 seconds of this trailer before being assured that the film would be brilliant! If I had the choice of seeing this tonight or the Dark Knight Rises? I would go with The Master.
Yeah with the Scientology link I can see this getting snubbed by a choice few at the Oscars, but it looks mighty fine to me. Can’t wait.
No America sucks and Canada is a utopia nonsense. This website is better than that. I will really appreciated if the Cinecast and Mamo started with a minute of silence.
This summer there has been a brazen shooting in our downtown iconic mall in Toronto with I think it was two dead several injured, then on a patio mid-day in Little Italy, I think it was a Mafia hit, then a whole house party in Scarborough got shot the hell up, many dead. Toronto is gun crazy right now.
That said… America sucks
insane that a five month old baby and six year old are two of the victims. On top of all the other tragedy, that two children that had no right to be there (I am assuming the rating for TDKR is not General) were part of the carnage.
I’m guessing they were just in the lobby or something – I don’t know the details though. Surely no one would take a 5-month old baby to the cinema to see anything?
Nope. It was inside a movie screening. Many parents are idiots. Before the movie started, in my screening, I shit you not, grown ups were throwing 4 beach volley balls throughout the theater. They sounded and behaved like loud animals. This lasted for 40 minutes. They even booed the usher when he collected the beach volley balls.
Yeah I have seen babies in theaters before.
Read online they are pulling the Gangster Squad trailers, which was also right before TDKR.
Some people are fucking idiots.
Somebody had a 10 month (or so) old baby in the 10:30pm screening of the Guy Pearce starring COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO.
People are idiots.
I don’t put up with any sort of perpetual distracting nonsense in a theater. I ask the people directly to leave or I go get someone to kick their asses out. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. As for babies, why anyone is allowed in a movie theater with one is beyond me.
I fear for the future of my country. I seen the Dark Knight Rises, and I am going to predict that a lot of people across country, and perhaps across the world, are going to start crying. The death toll of innocent people in film is going to be hard to swallow for many people.
There are rumors he was wearing a gas mask which draws even further a parallel with the film. Irrespective of how intentional that association was meant to be, you know those kind of details are going to stick in the public consciousness of the event.
“Aurora, a Denver suburb, is about 13 miles from Littleton, Colorado — site of the April 1999 Columbine High School massacre.” CNN
Jesus.
I am not going to read any further news of the event until the irrational, chaotic coverage settles down.
I’m not sure what the context of this comment is or where it came from.
Oh, you’re talking about the Denver thing. I didn’t understand why it was placed in this thread on “The Master” trailer.
My mistake. For some reason, I thought this was the Nolan thread.
No more midnight screenings for me, except maybe if I ever attend a film festival.
Dude on Reddit was a survivor of the attack (with pics).

And now theaters are pulling all the trailers for “Gangster Squad”.
CNN author Katia Hetter, claim ok to bring kids to a movie. Retarded:

That has to be the stupidest article I ever read.
“Back off on the judgment. Do you think anyone — a parent or not — would go to a movie if they could predict there would be a mass shooting?”
This is CNN journalism? What the fuck kind of asinine, condescending question is that?
It’s a terrible, terrible thing that this baby was injured and I don’t think a finger should be pointed at those parents in particular. They’ve been through enough. They don’t need to be put through anymore and the tragedy of the situation far outweighs their decision.
But as for in general and the tragedy aside, parents shouldn’t bring babies to movies because it’s fucking stupid. It’s selfish. And it’s rude to the other paying customers who don’t want to put up with crying, ga-ga-ing, and diapers full of smelly shit. I don’t want to hear “Oh, well my baby is a quiet baby, they barely cry.” Just don’t do it because if you do, you’re a bad person.
I feel for parents of babies, I really do, but when they make the decision to have and keep a baby, then there are just some things they can’t do with the baby. They can’t go to bars. They can’t walk on a tightrope between buildings. And they can’t go to the fucking movies.
This article just goes on and on and on about how difficult it is to be a parent. I totally 100% agree with this. But if one is not ready for the realities of parenthood, which means adapting one’s lifestyle dramatically, there are options:
1) don’t have a child
2) give it up for adoption
3) have an abortion.
Why don’t you guys go and talk about the shooting on the review for The Dark Knight Rises and not on the post of The Master trailer….
