It is incredibly hard, though the compensation and fame and all of the other accoutrements go a long way to convince the average schlub that it’s easy as hell. Just imagine trying to do a monologue in which you have to run the gamut of emotions while not […]

]]> ‘One Battle After Another’ Review: Good enough https://vanyaland.com/2025/09/26/one-battle-after-another-review-good-enough/ Fri, 26 Sep 2025 11:35:17 +0000 https://vanyaland.com/?p=10042400 Here’s a conundrum that has mystified writers, editors, audience members, significant others, and possibly every single person to ever engage with art throughout human history: what does one do when they’re the odd man out and can’t exactly figure out why?

We are, and if you’re not, well, go back and watch Boogie Nights or The Master again.

]]> Watch the first trailer for PT Anderson’s ‘One Battle After Another’ https://vanyaland.com/2025/03/27/watch-the-first-trailer-for-pt-andersons-one-battle-after-another/ Thu, 27 Mar 2025 17:18:51 +0000 https://vanyaland.com/?p=10041057 If Paul Thomas Anderson’s good at two things, they’re “Making Damn Good Movies” and “Setting Studio Money Ablaze.” Those things can be incongruous at times, much like they were for Licorice Pizza and Inherent Vice, but they’re always fucking experiences that we just don’t have a ton of at the movies anymore. Enter One Battle After Another, a $130 million riff on a Pynchon novel featuring Leo Dicaprio doing madcap shit over three hours. Seriously, reading about this thing’s test […]
