This interview is so meta when one actually takes into account the tipsy laughter of everyone accentuated by the fact that the questions were weird and their answers were like literally Punch Drunk Love running live in front of your eyes.
@@windowsmizu416 I think the reporter was right to push for a substantial answer. He prefaces the question with humility, and the contradiction between Sandler's "low art" reputation and the undeniably good performance they'd just seen was definitely an elephant in that room. It's one thing to like Adam Sandler and think he's funny, but it's another to realize he'd be so good for this role. So what did PTA see in him that the rest of us didn't?
@@sammythemc Yeah idk I think the reporter seemed pretty genuine, he phrased it pretty delicately and he's smiling when PTA just shuts him down with "I love him!" like I think he was just curious like everybody else because it did seem a completely odd fit and that was a good enough answer for him. It's not like now where we all know PTA just loves Sandler and didn't think he needed "fixing" or anything, this was the first time anybody asked him about it. There's also more appreciation now for how good Sandler can be with everything he's done since. Uncut Gems felt like a new breaking point where we may finally be done hearing "Wow Adam Sandler is actually good" like it's a fluke. I think it's officially boring to be surprised.
Adam Sandler deserves to be at that table, and any table with any “A List Actor”. It truly makes me emotional when people talk down on him. He’s a true treasure for American cinema. Uncut Gems, meyerowitz stories, punch drunk love, and all his comedies are amazing to me. He’s been my #1 and will forever be.
Man, excellent moderator. Great introductions to everyone, then stays mostly quiet-deftly selects questions, makes sure the guy isn't in the way in the camera, keeps things running smoothly, and then he has pre-prepared questions for the participants that aren't getting asked anything.
Love how everyone is intrigued and dying to know “why oh why PTA would ever consider such an actor like Sandler”. And he responds as if THEY are stupid. Because they are.
My favorite PTA press conference moment is still The Master at Venice when some guy was just like "I'm starting my own religion about PDF files, what would it take to join, you guys, what would it take?"
i rewatched 50 first dates a couple weeks ago and i just got a big crush on adam out of nowhere.... ive been watching a bunch of his movies. hes really cute and sweet. i really liked punch drunk love.
I think because at the time, most people thought of Adam Sandler as this "dumb and funny" guy, and nobody took him seriously as an actor. Paul Thomas Anderson is a serious filmmaker, and he made drama films, so that's why people were surprised he would cast Sandler.
I just Rewatched "Punch Drunk Love" a few days ago Great, Interesting Movie. Adam Sandler seems in the Interview like the Character he plays in the Movie. A shy guy. In more recent years in his interviews, Adam didn't seem like he was Shy at all.
Anderson, my goodness, he loved the ole sniff back then! He clearly hasn't had a wink of sleep and he clearly topped himself off before the press conference to try get through it!
What’s also funny is he got the idea of Phantom Thread when he was sick and Maya took car of Paul with such care and love. That’s how he got the idea for the movie
I resent that you can't make personal notes on these damn videos in private anymore... 14:16 Huh o snap I guess Paul is Lena 23:26 O Adam you summed up these shills' questions so perfectly.
thank u Seymour's line rip!!!!: "about u know, making that call and all the sudden ruining your life (irony) i understood what that nightmare fear is, had to make character big enough, it was going to take him /her to take alot to overcome alot,wanted him to go through alot, to fear me to be able to overcome that..in order to overcome me...its my job....wanted to make sure i was a character worth fearing..."did this guy( who Seymour is really speaking of) had no intention to help her get out of it..like evil! Rameus....amy had no clue....this is why she suppressed into pelvic...ovaries grrrrrrr set seymour up?then u say ah now i get it ahhhh...with a little help from my friends!!
I genuinely believe they are all stoned on this panel. Not “haha what kinda drugs did you guys take before you did this” but rather “you intentionally took substances” :|
in the past, people failed her !!!!she didtn fail people ie that i dated....what is their version of love? who the f r they?..intimacy she had and needed and was denied....healthier relatiions? blame her? amy was joy and love...thanks kirsten and acker man! lollif eis to be livvved lorna! live!!!! livve!!!! live!!!!!!
I don't think I've ever seen a director having this much fun at a press conference.
cocaethylene
Absolutely hilarious to see how serious the Cannes takes itself, as opposed to the baked panel, including a completely fried PTA.
This entire interview should be archived and preserved and canonized as something that is important aesthetically and culturally.
Paul Thomas Anderson's work still isn't in the National Film Registry in the Library of Congress, I think this would be a good start
Crazy to think this is 20 years old
@@dlh7989yeah that’s ridiculous! How the hell did Ironman and pink flamingos make it in the film registry before ANY PTA film?
@@mrpink7773I wonder if Boogie Nights or There Will Be Blood will be the first
@@dlh7989 I’d think there will be blood would before boogie nights. But I want boogie nights first tbh😂
Interviewer: make sure to get to the point of your questions
Also interviewer: spends an hour introducing the actors
they deserved that
I thought the same thing but to be fair, they were great introductions
This moderator is the king of backhanded compliments
paul is absolutely CHARBROILED
😂😂😂
Philip Seymour Hoffman's crispy laugh is contagious. Love it. RIP.
This is the greatest thing ever. How many drugs is Paul on? And Philip Seymour Hoffman's laugh :'(
Exactly 3 drugs: alcohol, nicotine and cocaine.
Where's the weed and acid
I know right, he seems so stoned lol!
Been on a paul thomas anderson binge lately. greatest director.
This interview is so meta when one actually takes into account the tipsy laughter of everyone accentuated by the fact that the questions were weird and their answers were like literally Punch Drunk Love running live in front of your eyes.
I feel bad for the fact that no one got their questions answered, but at the same time it made this a wildly funny and entertaining press Q&A
their questions were all just idealized, it was just a simple movie that resonated with people so well they over think it.
13:36 what a joy to watch PTA just completely shut down such an elitist question with the utmost sincerity.
It's not really an elitist question but it is a bit harshly inappropriate to be relentless about it.
@@ethidian3444 Obnoxious, it's still substantial so it's not necessarily pretentious I guess, but yeah, relentless and a little socially unaware.

i felt the exact same way, these guys were super pretentious and looking down their glasses at him. its made me not like cannes
Someone's in love 💓
Big Daddy is fantastic, loved it as a kid still love it now.
Also Spanglish, Reign Over Me and Funny People, when talking about the movies where he does more than his typical comedy performance.
This made me dislike a bit more. Made me love Sandler more, what a funny down to earth gentleman
Man, excellent moderator. Great introductions to everyone, then stays mostly quiet-deftly selects questions, makes sure the guy isn't in the way in the camera, keeps things running smoothly, and then he has pre-prepared questions for the participants that aren't getting asked anything.
Exactly my thoughts.
“I have a question for the lady producer” - yeah, guy didn’t even bother to know JoAnne Sellar’s (who’s on the panel!) name. 🤦
Mr. Hoffman's comments pulled at my heart.
he got a good question and gave the answers with the most substance
Adam Sandler is great in this movie. I love his comedies. His dramatic roles are extremely intelligent and well done.
This is why TH-cam is awesome, videos like this.
Love how everyone is intrigued and dying to know “why oh why PTA would ever consider such an actor like Sandler”. And he responds as if THEY are stupid. Because they are.
33:15 is heartbreaking in retrospect.
My heart sank a little when he said that! RIP
Phillip Seymour Hoffman deserved that introduction. What a brilliant actor he was. RIP
what a treasure of a video
33:09 oh wow. It did happen, Mr. Hoffman. And it was masterful.
I love Phil Hoffman just dying laughing over Paul and Adam it so clear they just have so much fun not just working together but as people
yo pta is so high here lmao
Adam seems like a really great guy!
I’ve only heard nothing but good things about him from people who have been on his sets. So glad to hear.
Cringe worthy how serious Cannes take themselves at the start! Miss PSH, amazing clarity and passion in his answers here
Stumbled into this during morning coffee and couldn't turn it off. Adorable and funny! I love all of PT's work.
My favorite PTA press conference moment is still The Master at Venice when some guy was just like "I'm starting my own religion about PDF files, what would it take to join, you guys, what would it take?"
Emily Watson's little gesture at 14:10 was nice
every single person on that panel is high. no question.
Even Hoffman? I thought his relapse killed him.
@33:18 :( Miss you PSH!
Man that made me so sad. PSH and PTA was definitely one of my favorite actor director duos
I honestly think Paul is stoned
Aaron Saiz bruh i think they all were
He's more than likely on coke which is something he spoke about on Marc Marons podcast
I feel like I’m too high, or not high enough. -pta
After seeing Inherent Vice, I don't doubt.
He's just a reserved, calm and composed person who's kind of socially awkward like many filmmakers are. I honestly don't think Anderson was stoned.
This is the greatest juxtaposition of the critics on one and the visionaries on the other side
Hahahahahahaha this is incredible. PTA is stoned to the gills
Sandler gets shit on for being a comic actor yet if they would have given him more acclaim for this I bet he would've done more of this kind of stuff.
he has done more!
@@freindmaker4473AWESOME PFP!!!!!!
i rewatched 50 first dates a couple weeks ago and i just got a big crush on adam out of nowhere.... ive been watching a bunch of his movies. hes really cute and sweet. i really liked punch drunk love.
Why are they so surprised he cast Adam Sandler when he cast Marky Mark in Boogie Nights? XD
I think because at the time, most people thought of Adam Sandler as this "dumb and funny" guy, and nobody took him seriously as an actor. Paul Thomas Anderson is a serious filmmaker, and he made drama films, so that's why people were surprised he would cast Sandler.
11:00 when I was watching the movie by myself, the song started to play and my sister came into the room and asked if I was watching Popeye.
why everybody trynna make adam sandler feel like he doesnt belong there
This press conference is the fruit of the loom
I just Rewatched "Punch Drunk Love" a few days ago Great, Interesting Movie. Adam Sandler seems in the Interview like the Character he plays in the Movie. A shy guy. In more recent years in his interviews, Adam didn't seem like he was Shy at all.
Well he's a lot older now and more confident.
Paul was in another galaxy 🙃😂
adam saying "JIM WHO?" is the funniest thing i've ever heard
Alex Hart Paul said it
Alex Hart That was paul
@@soultrane126 I refuse to believe that. I subscribe to the theory that Adam said it.
@@carolfromhr9900 lol
back then you can smoke at the press conference
last days of free smoking
Anderson, my goodness, he loved the ole sniff back then! He clearly hasn't had a wink of sleep and he clearly topped himself off before the press conference to try get through it!
"Oh phyl... it's great! You like that dontcha?" LOL
That absolutely cracked me up. "Hey! *Rubs hands together* lol. Just the best
liked when seymour talked.
PT Anderson was going out with Maya Rudolph at the time. Punch Drunk Love for Maya
He still is
What’s also funny is he got the idea of Phantom Thread when he was sick and Maya took car of Paul with such care and love. That’s how he got the idea for the movie
This film actually is based on his relationships with Fiona, he actually did spontaneously fly to hawaii when Fiona was there to woo her
@@KatE-iz5hl This film is, but the above comment was about Phantom Thread.
Being able to be this way in a presser is a big flex
“Until one of us isn’t here anymore “ eerie
If I ever get this famous from making films I both really do and really don’t wanna be this coked up at Cannes.
Jesus, these introductions are longer than the film! Get on with it!
This is a press conference.
와 이런 자료가 있었구나 에밀리 왓슨 배우 분 영화처럼 빨간 옷 입은 거 너무 사랑스럽네요❤
Best PSH laugh at 23:27
Haha
17:22 - 17:31 Paul Thomas Anderson Being a Character in a Paul Thomas Anderson Movie
33:00 I teared up :(
R.I.P ):
Okay I’m glad I wasn’t the only one who thought PTA was baked
These Cannes people need to lighten up and stop taking themselves so seriously.
Cómo se le extraña a Philip Seymour Hofman
not nearly enough Philip Seymour Hoffman questions for me
Commenting that PTA is stoned is not enough. We need details. What brand is he on? And where can I get some?
The brand is cocaine
The guy with white hair: Theres a lot of peapole here so please get to the point with your question
Also him: 1:35
This is wild, they seem like they're all high af
17:08
I think Paul is stoned )
Emily Watson is such a gracious and beautiful lady.
paul thomas anderson was absolutely on to something that day
14:20 best moment
I resent that you can't make personal notes on these damn videos in private anymore...
14:16 Huh o snap I guess Paul is Lena
23:26 O Adam you summed up these shills' questions so perfectly.
philip i miss you ! r.i.p
I love how he says “the lady producer”.
This press conference is a film directed by Paul Thomas Anderson
MODERATOR: what kind of drugs do you want?
PTA: yes.
Dude the Sandler disrespect is ridiculous
16:57 "I'd say E.T is pretty sexy" lmao I love this man
fill the void with self love ness.....workin on it....
now i feel a bit punchy (in the best sense of the therm)
Paul and Sandler are sooooo high ahahahahah
The french really cannot wrap their mind around the concept of phone sex can they
Press's gonna need stairs cause' Paul is high af.
that chin is on fire
thank u Seymour's line rip!!!!: "about u know, making that call and all the sudden ruining your life (irony) i understood what that nightmare fear is, had to make character big enough, it was going to take him /her to take alot to overcome alot,wanted him to go through alot, to fear me to be able to overcome that..in order to overcome me...its my job....wanted to make sure i was a character worth fearing..."did this guy( who Seymour is really speaking of) had no intention to help her get out of it..like evil!

This guy had no intention of helping WHO get out of it?
PSH calling out Mulholland Drive as the sexiest movie ever made is the only correct answer.
Paul... TF were you on 😂
A couple glasses of wine and a few tokes? That's my guess.
lots of coke
The question at 15:30 from that lady is the weirdest question ever hahahahahha
16:31 Favorite romance and sexiest movie ever made
Which one?
She's so beautiful in red
so many ciggies...love it
Are they stoned?
Sorry but Sandler makes more money than most of you sitting here.
money = made good art thing
@@richdarvis1051 f off
@@richdarvis1051 good art = subjective
her hair looks like a costly silk curtain trying to hide the jewels that are embedded on her face and ending up making it vividly more glittery
Oh Paul
this video is a time piece forsure, i feel bad for the translator around 22:00 tryna keep up lol
Moderator reminds me of a bitter younger brother of werner herzog
I genuinely believe they are all stoned on this panel. Not “haha what kinda drugs did you guys take before you did this” but rather “you intentionally took substances” :|
Jesus Christ is it an introduction ? or is it. This is Your Life !
Emily Watson, what, only gets asked one Q, WTF
33:15 it's like he knew :( rip
Watching this, and realizing PSHoffman is the one who ODd. Don't make much sense.
