Damn. Autumn 2012. Years passed by.

I can’t tell if Paul is high here or this is just the way he is lol.

actually, plenty of talented people are dicks BECAUSE THEY ARE TALENTED...anyway, his f**gy fanboys love to kiss his a** cause they're so retarded which is hilarious...From America to Australia to anywhere else 😂😂

Beautiful. He should have more than just one short album!

It's almost like half way thru he realized that someone put LSD in his drink. Lol

He should have used 140mm with the Hubble telescope attached.

I love that two audience members apologized for their questions, this whole Q&A is such torture for him, such weirdly awkward personal questions combined with that feedback and tequila to top it all off

The master was such a hilarious movie thanks Paul :)

TI AMO

Quite amazing that at 59:30, after an hour of the worst mic feedback that would drive anyone insane and some pretty inane questions, the interviewer goes to ask for MORE questions from the audience. PTA finally hit the wall and pretty much just walks off the stage. A living legend of a filmmaker, he must have felt like he was in one of his own films for some of that, fucking hell the last half hour was like a struggle session.

25:52

I actually agree with the interviewer Punch Drunk Love is his best movie

Hearing filmmakers/actors talk about their work is always tedious and disappointing. Ya gotta just watch the movie and let it do it’s thing and make your own judgments

Imagine if we got a PTA film with Phoenix and Daniel Day Lewis in it. Imagine putting those two into a room with a camera and letting them loose.

how is this duo not famous?

The audience and interviewer asked pretty crap questions but I always enjoy Paul

This man is an inspiration to me; my favorite filmmaker.

Step 1. Turn up ALL mics (audience mics included) to max level at all times to get a good amount of constant feedback going. Great job!

6:25 is when Paul had had enough

sweet moment 33:48

He is a whole mood!!!

This school has so much of the life sucked out of it that the culture doesn’t know how to ask heartfelt questions anymore.

The greatest living director.

that subtle feedback is MENTAL.

He is blasted lol I would be too though

Paul did let that girl finish such a gentleman!

I think the Astor theatre people are pissed at Paul 😁

God, this is amazing

What gear do you need? The one that feels right

WHY 70 MILLIMETER????

hes so high

o_0 oh paul you are so so very cute.

severely underrated even after all this time <3

Was he going through something personally when this Q&A happened lol I know it's probably not the most fun thing to do but he's so clearly hating every minute of it

Love this

The kid in the Bubba Gumb shirt got snubbed

7:12 Guy is asleep in middle of crowd.

He kinda sounds like DDL.

24:30 how u doin.

Maybe PTA would've held the mic closer if the sound guy was competent enough to prevent easy feedback

Wow, I just passed 21:51 where the interviewer said Punch Drunk Love was his favorite film. Why tf would you say that right after watching his latest film? Must not have been thinking but OUCH

This was great

The last 5 minutes of this genius director and writer are specially inspiring.

If I don't get to work with pta in some capacity my life will not mean anything

Watch minute 11. Look at PTA's posture and how he touches his legs and gestures when answering...then watch the master's in take scene and look at phoenix... literally the same exact movements...it's scary

His answer to that question about why certain thematics pop up is very similar to Nils Frahm talking about how he loves the little mistakes in his music. Jezus I could feel the heat of this place, so much people and this insensitive interviewer, constant fuck up with the microphone.

The best film of the decade! My favoorite film, truly, PTA is a master.

I think the ''commentaries'' question may refer to DVD or Blu-Ray commentaries. PT Anderson did some, but stopped doing them. As a guy who always want to know more about film, have directors commenting in their work is always a pleasure, but I understand that, for some directors out there, it may sound silly. Spielberg, for example, never did commentaries, which I find really sad, on the other hand, Coppola has a lot of great commentary tracks in his movies, so I'm always wishing more directors could do it.

11:08 racist

At 15:39 P.T.A voice becomes into Sam Rockwell's
