It was a record-breaking weekend for The Master, P.T. Anderson’s latest starring Philip Seymour Hoffman and Joaquin Phoenix. The film brought in $728,745, which didn’t strike us as much of a big deal either, until we learned that it was only playing in five theaters this weekend.
As such, it set a new record for per-screen earnings: $145,949.
The last time we checked in on stylishness returning to the big screen, our list of this year’s crop of promising movies ended with The Master. All we had was a short teaser then—director Paul Thomas Anderson has been patently tight-lipped about the film—but the trailer has finally been released. (All part of a calculated media rollout, which began in Cannes last year when a shadowy poster appeared with only the words “Untitled Paul Thomas Anderson Project” on it.) We finally get to see Philip Seymour Hoffman in all of his L. Ron Hubbard-ness, donning a navy double-breasted blazer and addressing a yet-to-be-revealed audience. It’s all very intriguing and creepy at the same time—especially with everyone dressed in dusty ’50s-era high-waisted slacks.
This wouldn’t be the first time we’ve waxed poetic on the bookshelf—nor will it be the last—and this bookshelf, photographed in New York Magazine’s spring design spread (of the home of none other than Whoopi Goldberg) is a prime example of what you should be going for.
It’s not exactly a trophy case, but a few golden statuettes wouldn’t hurt.»

Style. The Mission’s got it. Union Square’s got it.
