Curio: Viewing The Master

Alexa here. I just can't let the week go by without posting something about my biggest film boner since Black Swan, PT Anderson's The Master.  I know this is bandwagon time, but my excitement knows no bounds here. I can't wait to see Joaquin Phoenix back in prime form; I will always forgive his sidestep into indulgence because, the talent!  And another film paired with Jonny Greenwood's haunting tones? Yes please!  I missed Chicago's only 70mm showing (grrr), but will be first in line on Friday.  To force you to revel in anticipation with me, I present a few fan posters (with the exception of Wes Anderson, no one brings out the fan art quite like PT), and some fabulous photographs taken from the set by photographer Jack Erling.

I prefer both of these to the official one sheet.

I like the first one. Quite creepy.

OT: The three films in contention to become Spain's official entry to the 2012 Oscars have been announced: Fernando Trueba's El artista y la modelo, Alberto Rodríguez's Grupo 7, and Pablo Berger's Blancanieves.

From my readings of the reactions of viewers and critics you either love or hate "The Master" I know Joaquin fans , the vast majority of them will love it. I am a fan of Phoenix so I probably will too. I know director PTA is quite controversial. Especiallly with his previous f ilm TWBB.
