As if my anticipation boner for Paul Thomas Anderson’s The Master couldn’t get any more turgid and veiny, MovieClips just added this new clip to promote tonight’s 70 mm showing in Austin. The clip features Joaquin Phoenix as his character, Freddie, taking the old Rorschach test. And Freddie? Well, you might say old Freddie has a bit of a “one-track mind.” Here’s how he describes the ink blots:
“That’s a pussy.”
“That’s the part between the assh*le and the pussy.”
“That’s two ladies facing each other. With tits hanging down. And it looks like… there’s come dripping off of them.”
“That’s two women again. They’re holding their hands together. It looks like they’re covered in come.”
“This is a pussy. And an assh*le, the assh*le’s open.”
“Two women, touching each other’s pussies. You can actually see the pussies touching, right here.”
Well, you can’t spell Rorchach without “chach.” The Master was famously inspired by Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard, but according to Paul Thomas Anderson, Tom Cruise has reportedly seen the film and given it his blessing. Maybe this clip is a clue as to why. “Haha, you got me, Paul!” I imagine Tom Cruise saying, “That’s classic me! Always thinkin’ about the ol’ ‘poontang’, ha ha ha!” he probably said, laughing nervously and making quotes in the air with his fingers.

Aww!



BEST PICTURE.
That’s Tom Hardy and Baby Goose holding puppies and singing Space Unicorn while Vince Vaughn eats ice cream in the background.
Vince Vaughn does not eat ice cream, he makes sweet mouth love to it.
Spoiler alert:
…Alright I won’t spoil whats to spoil about this clip
I just cried a little. This hits too close to home.
This is bullshit! Show the pictures, god damn it!
See this is why they don’t trust Psychologists, they keep showing them hardcore pornography instead of measuring Thetan levels like they are supposed to.
Nose of a DC-8… volcano… volcano spewing cum… smooth, thick hydrogen bombs…Xenu’s bulbous head…
hmm.. it feels a bit too clockwork orangy, don’t YA THINK?
“Well, you cant spell Rorchach without “chach”.”
Chach was my favorite Laker since Magic Johnson.
i was lucky enough to see this at tiff — this scene is in no way like this in the movie… it’s odd.
I’m surprised he didn’t have his top button buttoned up in that scene to really bring out the crazy.
He’s obviously looking at pinkblots.
Better than being forced to look at stinkblots, amiright?!!
Could be kinkblots, if they’re covered in come.
Excuse me, inksluts.
(Inksluts was the suicidegirls.com of its day.)
I know we’re all supposed to be in love with this film. Takedown of Scientology, the fact that we can’t just say “the Master” without saying Paul Thomas Anderson’s “The Master” and hopefully Amy Adams won’t sing for once but I’m deeply annoyed by the voice/inflections Joquin Phoenix is using. Bane seemed to have better diction than this guy.
My second to last HR meeting was similar.
Now the real question is which one of us Film Drunkards is the real life inspiration for Freddie.
At least he’s not seeing Cleveland steamers anymore. Once is bad enough, I guess.
Donk and Al only see rinkblots. #icehockeyjokes!
This trailer is excellent Master bait.
/I got a case of the Mondays. And the herp.
IT’S NOT HIS FAULT HE KEEPS SHOWING HIM DIRTY PICTURES!!
