Licorice Pizza (Paul Thomas Anderson, November 26, 2021) Movie • Page 19

yeah there's a way to have the joke that he's one of the many white man who fetishize Asian women without the racism

 

either way, it's completely beneath PTA to leave that shit in the film. truly sucked to hear people in my audience laughing at that (sadly it might've been a given though, as it was the first time it screened in the boston area). i'm just glad i got to at least warn a friend of mine who's Asian about when it's coming

 

I laughed at it because it was an incredibly dumb thing for an idiot racist to do. I think making fun of racist dipshits is a positive thing

 

well obviously, me not finding it funny means i disagree with that

 

Even if it was an attempt to poke fun at a racist, it didn't work. As I said, we're already shown that he's a racist who is using Japanese culture to try to make a profit. The accent isn't needed for the point to be made.

 

i would have liked if they stuck with the name soggy bottom

 

I'm glad they didn't.

 

Soggy Bottom would have been a horrible title.

 

But the movie is about water beds, it fits!

 

it’s the name of his company come on!

 

If you told people you were going to see, or invited them to come watch, a movie called Soggy Bottom they would reassess the entire relationship and likely cut all ties with you. These are just facts.

 

Alana explains in the movie why it’s a horrible name

 

Horrible name for a water bed company but good name for this movie

 

haha this guy thinks shitting his pants is cool

 

that’s a bingo

 

Apparently it was the name actually used by the kid it's based on (who is also Tom Hanks' producing partner)

 

Yep this is basically The Gary Goetzman Story

 

Licorice Pizza is the better name because its vibes fit the film perfectly. But, I do support the notion that Soggy Bottom would’ve been a good choice. Just, not quite as good.

 

Licorice Pizza is a 5 star name. Soggy Bottom is a 1 star name.

 

Wetbutt

 

Moist Ass.

 

Soggy Bottom was actually never the name according to PTA, just what they used as a production company name (ie this shooting location is booked by Soggy Bottom LLC)

 

Remember when the rumored title was “night of counting the years” or some shit

 

finally seeing this again today, I'm really just ready to relive the "I'm an atheist" scene
