Not as entertaining as Grant (very few people are), but I appreciate his direct answers and very little filler to make himself sound like something he's not.

My favorite thing about this so far is that PTA's a fan of Chester Himes, who is one of my favorite crime writers. I would love for him to work with Chivo on a project like that, where Gravedigger Jones and Coffin Ed Johnson stalk the streets of 1950s-era Harlem.

Who would you suggest to play the two NYPD detectives? |

ha! Even he realizes that. Not everyone's a good judge of their own work, but he is.  I didn't know Werner Herzog said that! Love it!

It's two-and-a-half hours of incredible insight. PTA says of Magnolia that a good hour could and should be sliced from it. |

I think I'd die. |

I think I'd die. That would be incredible, but I'm not quite sure which of Ellroy's works he'd be best cut out for. Joe Carnahan staked his claim on White Jazz and I want his Underworld U.S.A. trilogy to be an HBO series (so much so that I adapted the first half of American Tabloid into three hour-length scripts for a screenwriting course in college). My dream project for PTA is to do Cormac McCarthy's Suttree to complete his "Joaquin Phoenix addiction" trilogy. |

I think he got carried away after Boogie Nights for a while there. I'm sure he would do a lot of things differently today. Thanks for the suggestion. I will. I wonder how he would have answered the Gravity's Rainbow question. |

But I endorse any McCarthy adaptation! |

PTA and Chivo would be such an odd pairing. Chivo loves continuing shots, so I never imagined him with Paul.

PTA has some terrific long takes in his films throughout his career though He's notably drifted from the long take in recent years, although he loves keeping the camera on actors' faces for longer than the norm. He figured that out after his accidental forty-second oner on Wahlberg's face in Boogie Nights and he uses it to great effect in There Will Be Blood and The Master. I could still see him using Lubezki; there were several times in Inherent Vice that I felt Elswit was cribbing from Chivo's style. |

But I recall Suttree being younger than both of them? It should be someone in his early 30's. McCarthy's characters are tough as hell to play, although Viggo was outstanding in The Road. |
