Saw an early screening in 70mm of One Battle After Another - highly recommend it! Great time. I didn't really know what to expect other than I knew it was Paul Thomas Anderson and I've liked his films and I've seen this trailer. I laughed a lot. Acting is top notch. Benicio Del Toro chef's kiss Johnny Greenwood score. I feel like anyone who appreciates movies will appreciate this one. I believe it opens wide (U.S.) tomorrow Sep 26.

How would you rate this on a scale of “Inherent Vice” to “There Will Be Blood”?

To me, better than Inherent Vice (although I don't remember that movie quite as much). Very different tonally than There Will Be Blood so a bit hard for me to compare but I think One Battle After Another is one of his best. Tonally I guess more like Inherent Vice ha well I guess they're both Pynchon novels. PTA is very unique to me but I can't articulate like style or trademark things about him. I think he's just so good at his craft and bold in unexpected ways.

Gotcha. I am very excited. I love PTA as an artist, but not necessarily all his movies.

Did you get to see it in 70mm? If so, any thoughts on the transfer? It was shot in Vistavision.

I did. Honestly I couldn't really tell if it stood out. I saw Sinners in 70mm and that looked so impressive to me. For some reason this was just really well made but the film format didn't stick out to me.

I saw it in IMAX. It looked good. It sounded good too, though the sound track was anxiety inducing. But in a purposeful way. Benicio Del Toro was great. Sean Penn was unsettling and I will never hear a certain Christmas song the same way again.
