    When you guys were talking about Paul Thomas Anderson, if memory serves me correct theres a really gorgeous single take scene of characters being followed by the camera then the camera sort of latches on another character then joins up with the same. It’s simple but effective. But again, my memory isn’t great on this. It’s been a while since i’ve watched it.

    Haven’t listened to the podcast yet, but you may be thinking of Magnolia. If memory serves, I can think of a scene near the end with William H. Macy walking back to store from which he was fired and the camera is following another one of the leads and then shifts over to him as they pass him on the street.

    You forgot (or more likely have never seen) JCVD. That one has a great long shot, you have to check that out.
