: What does he have against Woody Allen?
If the Film-411 archive boards were still around, you could see any of
Smalls' numerous rants against the man.
If you were referring to Kevin, then that's different -- from all accounts
I've heard, he's quite a fan of Woody's -- I believe Chris Rock said
something about Chasing Amy being the Annie Hall of the 90's to him once.
: Some might opine that Woody was the first Dante Hicks (Which Woody, you
may ask? Er, how many have we seen?).
: That said, how do you think we could lure the real Paul Thomas Anderson
back to the board? Shit, you know he's going to want to shill for
"Magnolia"'s video-release...of course, he may not feel the need to spam
for something that New Line has clearly wrapped in the trappings of "classy
picture."
I really, really doubt that he would bother trying to hock Magnolia on this
board.
: Tell me, he who may know: Has Kevin ever conversed with Paul Thomas
Anderson? Perhaps, I've got this guy all-wrong, but he really does strike
me as a larger-than-Michael-Bay-size asshole.
None of us know the guy -- interviewers present their subjects in whatever
light they feel like doing so. Until the PTA webboard is up and he's got
several years of posting under his belt, we don't even know as much of his
personality as we do of Kevin's (which is to say, not very much). He could
be the nicest guy ever, and this 'arrogant prick' thing they've had going
in interviews could just be how he's being handled right now.
