Paul Thomas Anderson’s movies are consistently showered in praise and he’s considered one of the best filmmakers of his generation, however I don’t get the hype.

I’ve seen most of his movies and found them to be the definition of boring, yet several movie critics and fans seem to have a massive hard-on for them. The Master is the only one of his movies I can watch and not so much because I think it’s a good movie, but because it was shot on 70mm film and I enjoy the look of the movie, it’s total eye candy.

The one thing I do respect about him is that he’s one of the few movie director who still shoots on film stock.
