Which PTA movie is the hardest to decipher? Punch-Drunk Love, The Master, or Inherent Vice?

[@samrainnie2104]

Inherent Vice for plot. The Master for everything else

Guys im liking this but the audio needs to be better. Run it through some software to cleanup and level and boost.

Thanks for letting us know👍 What exactly did you think needed fixing so we know what to listen for next time?

So Cameron wasn't necessarily wrong to take something as beautiful as Avatar and make it low brow? :D To be fair, it _was_ exciting... but that's coming from a guy who noticed, regretfully, that the physics in one of the very short scenes, in Way of Water, depicting fluid simulation was not up to standard... because I've done a good couple years researching fluid simulation... so take it with a grain of salt, I suppose. A very good friend once told me, then many times reminded me how feckless I am. It forced me to learn the meaning of the word, unfortunately.

Maybe I have that backwards. It's certainly possible, and perhaps more likely, which certainly reveals my ignorance on the specific matter at hand, that Cameron did a very good job presenting something which was inevitably low brow. But it does reinforce the tragedy of the commons. Our unthoughtful and self centered ways of being are necessary in order for there to be any demand for such gratuitous violence and besting of our hypothetical "enemies". The real tragedy is in the reckless modality and erosion of culture and core values which creates the demand for this kind of portrayal. The fact that people would capitalize on that societal condition is disgraceful, but also inevitable.
