that shot of JP with the gun in the room reminds me of Martin Sheen drunk in the opening of Apocalypse Now

2. Then go here: http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~dst/Library/Shelf/wakefield/christians.html

3. Search for the term, "a gift."

4. ???

5. Another reference bites the dust.

"a few acres of land" and no offense, but straining for credit on the title seems a big stretch.

Freddy on the boat… is that possibly also a Gulliver's Travels homage?

@ Russ… Calm down Russy, I pointed out the "Melvin and Howard" reference and also the name of the song used in the trailer. Yes, you mentioned the Passenger, but I presented VISUAL EVIDENCE. But whatever bro, this is like dumbest thing to argue about. SERIOUSLY.

Now moving on…..

You guys didn't miss anything, however the aspect ratio if utilised in it's original format would be 2.20:1

Also I'd like the point out that the camera used for The Master is not the same camera used in films like '2001: A Space Odyssey' & 'Lawrence of Arabia' which is the Super Panavision 70.
The Master actually uses Panavision System 65/Super 70, which was introduced in the early 1990s, in response to an increased demand for 65 mm cameras. Panavision introduced an updated line of 65 mm cameras and optics known as "Panavision System 65" or "Panavision Super 70", designed to compete with the rival Arri 765 camera. However, the lack of 70 mm projectors, combined with the fact that 35 mm digital stereo sound somewhat minimized the multi-channel sound advantage the 70 mm format had, meant that the format revival never really took off.

Movies that have use the Panavision System 65 made in the 90's, include Ron Howard's Far & Away, Kenneth Branagh's Hamlet. However it's mainly used for special effects shots, it was used in Inception for sfx. Scorsese also used it for a hyper-reality sequence in Shutter Island (it's used in the night dream scene in the Concentration Camp train yard, where it is snowing and the bodies are piled together, frozen)

I pointed out the name of the song, and also the "Melvin and Howard" and "the passenger" references on "CigsandRedvines" before everybody else… So I guess, you were referring to me when you wrote:

"Fans have already picked up on a few possible homages — the aforementioned âMelvin And Howard,â Freddie hanging freely over the edge of the ship recalls a similar shot in Antonioniâs âThe Passenger,â etc. — but weâre sure like his previous work, this will be something all his own."

Lol…. Great article. Can't wait for October 12.

Fantastic write-up. I was looking for the Jo Stafford song and greatly appreciate you tracking it down.
