    I remember the line in Ebert's review about how he loves movies that explain how to get away with things...and that this movie did that.

    This is really quite shocking. To date (24.01.17) 658 have seen this. He is most likely the most important director alive, and this attention? As Scorsese says, 'the reason why there are so many bad films is that we have such bad audiences.' Anyone who has raining frogs in his films is fine by me. So why is 'Hard Eight' such a pain to find on dvd in Europe?

      the only hope for hard 8 is criterion. hopefully they can re-release it like they did for punch drunk love

      I thought that too for a second, but the full version is on marc maron's podcast, which has a ton of hits. This random youtube channel isn't a good representation of how many people are interested in PTA.

      Criterion recently put Hard Eight on their filmstruck stream, hopefully we know what that means.

      You're upset that a clip of an interview of him talking about his first movie that he disowned for years doesn't have a lot of UA-cam views, lol? He is great, but his movies arent commercially successful films. To be honest, I don't think an interview with any director is going to get a lot of views

    Everyone in the comments here is complaining about Marc Maron continuously talking over PTA, but I do think it's amusing that this interview is being conducted by the coach from "Glow".

    Everybody is hating on the interviewer but I think he is vibing well with PTA. His interruptions give a nice dynamic to the itw and bring new interesting elements. Also it doesn't seem to bother PTA's train of thoughts. Anyway there it is, one comment to praise the interviewer's skills

    Was that an interview of an interrogation?
    Nonethless, it was an interesting interrogation. I hope PTA will be release from prison soon.

    Why no follow up when Paul Thomas Anderson said he had worked in Reno? A good followup question would have made things much more clear. Did Mr. Anderson work in a casino? BTW--by coincidence, Arthur Miller said he got the idea to write his famed movie 'The Misfits' because he had lived in Reno for 6 weeks to get a divorce., to marry Marilyn Monroe...

      He'll always be a brilliant writer and director, I think that's clear, but there is an energy in those early films that I love. Magnolia simply wouldn't work if he wasn't high and full of coke fueled bravura for example!

    unlistenable due to interviewer. Switched it off after 27 seconds and downvoted.
