Yeah he does 🤣🤣🤣

I’d dare say he’s *definitely* already a genius. He’s done it like 6 times.

Joseph Mendonca in many ways, there will be blood is a very grounded, realistic horror movie, found in an unexpected place.

@@aryavirsangwan6837 definitely grounded but not in an unexpected place.

I felt that way when watching Inherent Vice during the scene Doc gets drugged by Beaverton. Feels genuinely unsettling and horrifying and I only wish he would make a through and through horror movie.

@@aryavirsangwan6837 Well said. I'll just add... PTA tends to hit some emotionally unrelenting "horror" beats, if we can even call them beats seeing as he's rather loose and unconventional with story structure, that surpass even the most gruelling moments of albeit-more-clear-cut "horror" like The Conjuring, Don't Breathe or even the more dramatic Hereditary; TWBB's sequences leading up to Plainview's murder of the false brother - a stone cold, misanthropic man breaking into tears as he realises he's lonely afterall, just as he thought he'd found his own blood... There are other drama features that I'd consider superbly very horrifying too, capable of putting even the greats of horror in the shadows: the final scene of Lanthimos' The Favourite, the end of the 1988 The Vanishing (which plays more like a suspenseful drama-thriller until that point), HAL 9000 lifting the veil when he refuses to allow David back into the ship in 2001... Horror, in my conceptualisation and I think many will agree, doesn't have to limited to the genre itself or its tropes and tenets, it can be conveyed and seen in anything.

He made his horror story, There will be blood is it, he said so himself at the time.

PTA actually has a great sense of humor. He used to be a regular at Largo at the Coronet in LA.

Have a listen to the Adam Buxton podcast, episode featuring PTA. It's brilliant

Ever hear PTA's interview with Marc Maron? Anderson is hoot!

I think Tino and him both are the greatest, even they say without eachother they wouldnt be as good without pulp magnolia would never be as good as it was, without there will be blood Hateful eight wouldnt of been made, they are good friends and even greater rivals. Like all friendships should be

Brad Potter inglorious basterds wouldn’t be that good if there will be blood wasn’t made

@@okyouknowwhatever lol chill dude

I hope you enjoyed it - I did!

I disagree.
