"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!
