I like Paul Thomas Anderson's movies, but I won't watch his latest one "Licorice Pizza" because it stars an ugly jew as one of the leads

You can judge for your self.

I like his movies, to a point. I think he's an exceptional film maker, but he has a tendency to be rather vulgar at times and seems to find some fascination with deviance. That kind of takes me out of it when I'm watching.

But I won't watch "Licorice Pizza" because the lead is some ugly jewess named Alana Haim. It's a shame, too, because I grew up in Southern California in the 1970s, so it was a very formative time for me. I even remember when the record chain "Licorice Pizza" was in business (which is where the movie gets its title from).

So, I'll pass on this one.

I won't watch movies if there are blacks in prominent roles

Neither will I. Seeing some nigger act like a White person just takes me out of the moment.

Licorice Pizza sure sounds like pedo code.

It does, doesn't it. But that's not what it comes from. From Urban Dictionary:

The name of a record store chain that was founded in California. It gets its name from an old Abbott and Costello routine where they try to sell records unsuccessfully (saying "Well we could sprinkle cornstarch on the bottom and sell them as Licorice Pizzas"). Apparently it was awesome in the seventies, but was bought out by Musicland and renamed Sam Goody in the eighties.

I also remember the Sam Goody stores, and they sucked.

Liquorice pizza was great, but Tower was better.

I agree, miles away better. But I liked the vibe at the stores, and they often had hard to find records. I remember finding a record by The Sutherland Brothers and Quiver I'd been looking for for years. Couldn't find it anywhere else.

There was a Tower in Orange County in the 70s, which was the closest one to me, and it's where I went when I wanted classical records because the had damn near anything. Licorice Pizza had a number of locations, including one close to where I lived.

The Wherehouse was pretty decent too, although they tended to focus more on popular music and less on classical.

Umm… pretty sure he’s a kike. He’s definitely married to one.

Holy crap, you're right about Maya Rudolph. I knew she's Minnie Ripperton's daughter, so I just assumed she was a light skinned black, but I didn't know her father is a jew.

I can't find any jewish connection with PTA, but there's a strong possibility that he's a crypto jew. He just seems to have too many connections to jews to be coincidence.

He’s from the valley, and the subject matter of his movies are some clues… but that’s just my opinion.
