Ernest "Jazzman" Resendes wrote in to tell of another filmmaker influenced by Sly:

Hey kids,

I got this recent interview from the Paul Thomas Anderson site, Coffee and Cigarettes. PTA credits Stallone's ROCKY in influencing him to become a filmmaker.

It would be a personal dream of mine to have Sly work with PTA the way Tom Cruise did in Magnolia.

Question: Was there any one film that you remembered seeing when you were younger that instantly made you realize that you wanted to be a film director?

Paul Thomas Anderson: So many films that I saw -- Jaws, Wizard of Oz, Rocky, all the Disney movies

Thanks Jazz!
