Thanks for the link Sami, those photos and animated .gifs are pretty cool.

The Master has had some more screenings:

‘The Master' Screened Secretly In NYC Last Night...Twice

and, including a viewers overview:

Expect The Unexpected; ‘The Master' Screens In Chicago

Hi Sami, i think 'the overview' is pretty safe, but it links to reviews that give more detail of the film.

Thanks for the info Sami, and yes here is the teaser trailer promoting the San Francisco showing of The Master:

The Master - I Lost My Ship


Run Joaquin, Run!

Thanks for posting Admin. From all of the ones I've seen so far this is the one i like the most. It seems like a painting, right ? It's not computer made or a photo. I love it !

Many film lovers are looking forward to this film like a child for Christmas . There is much anticipation and I sense a feeling of joy about it . People seems really happy, like in " finally after so many years of a long drought we can see a oasis in the horizon." It's both Paul and Joaquin's come back, and it's not a shy one!
To me as an artist, what this film represents is a return to cinema as an art form. I hope it will influence other areas as well !

I'm so proud to be a fan of Joaquin!!I

I wonder about that too! It could also mean they are opposite? Or two sides of the same coin? I'll try to find who painted the poster, there's a signature ..

Oops, ok! I posted a duplicate of the previous MSG I thought it didn't go through.. Just fixed it !

Wow. "Deliver the best scene of his life". That's some acclaim!

The new poster for the SF screening brings to my mind those ink blot pictures used in the psychiatric field to glean information from patients about the state of, and what's going on in, their mind. And it does kind of look like the prow of a ship (is that what it is, a prow, when viewed from the front?), so apt for the screening I'd say, given the title of the SF trailer.

I've also decided not to view any of the trailers (but thanks for posting them, Admin) because I want to see this film with as little knowledge about it as possible. For the same reason I'm being careful about reading reviews too, so I can make up my own mind when I see the film, but am reading just enough to feel the excitement.

OK Admin, thanks for the info; that's useful to know.

I think I will leave watching the trailers until I've seen the film, even though, by definition, I guess a trailer is meant to be watched before the film. (Unless it's a trailer towed by a vehicle, in which case it comes after. ) Anyway, watching the trailers after I've seen the film means that there will still be a Joaquin treat for me to look forward to.

I would have loved to have seen the film screening at the Castro theatre with the organist playing. Not that I'm into organ music but I do like a sense of occasion and where do we get to see an organist rise up out of the floor to play these days? Wonderful!

Yes, I'm like this too! I love the sense of occasion that the organist brings. Almost in an old fashioned way, and the theatre and the curtains, the stage,.. It is beautiful . Context makes a difference. It makes the experience better!
