this movie was really good right up until daniel went to the town's real estate office to inquire about property, and the homeless guy from Dirty work was there,

ruined the whole film

"wait a minute, dont tell me paul and eli are really 2 different people i took it as 2 different personalities as we never saw them together"

I didn't know that until I found this

-In an interview on the National Public Radio program "Fresh Air with Terry Gross," Paul Dano told Gross that he had originally been cast in the much smaller role of Paul Sunday, Eli's brother, and another actor had been cast as Eli. However, after Dano had already started filming his one scene as Paul Sunday, Paul Thomas Anderson decided to replace the actor playing Eli. Anderson then asked Dano to play Eli Sunday (a much bigger role) as well as Paul Sunday, and they decided to change the film to make the brothers identical twins. Anderson asked Dano to play Eli on a Thursday, and filming for the role began four days later, on the next Monday. Daniel Day-Lewis, by contrast, had a whole year to prepare to play Daniel Plainview-

BEST MOVIE IN YEAAAARS

Finally saw this. Thought it was decent. Wish I could walk into a movie by a good director that doesn't try to illustrate some powerful metaphor though.

I also thought NCFOM was better, so the best picture was a good call this year.

I’ve found that the quality of a film is inversely proportional to my urge to check the progress bar. I checked it three times for this movie; it just would not end.

3/9/2008 10:27:03 PM

PTA movie's generally appreciate with how many times you watch them.

3/9/2008 10:36:35 PM

I really thought there'd be more blood.

3/9/2008 10:51:58 PM

3/9/2008 10:58:11 PM

I guess that means you're the kind of douche nozzle who's checking his phone for the time every 30 minutes. Maybe you just don't have the maturity and patience needed to watch a movie.

Im having some serious problems finishing this movie. Just a little half way done and Ive already had to take about 2 breaks. Its just draaaaaaaaging.

3/10/2008 10:35:19 PM

really? i felt like this movie didnt feel like it was half as long as it was

3/10/2008 10:38:59 PM

RAAAAAR SOMEONE HATES A MOVIE I REALLY LIKE AND I SAY THEY DONT GET IT

RAAAAARR DONNIE DARKO

3/10/2008 10:40:25 PM

lol wut

3/10/2008 10:41:47 PM

this sounds like a job for KngDouchebag.

and as an aside, this was the best movie i'd seen probably since the departed (including no country), but that title has since been taken by the assassination of jesse james by the coward robert ford.

3/10/2008 10:57:41 PM

^ i want to see that....i just need the netflixes

twbb was an amazing film. i'm reading the book. its not that bad either. goes much like the film, so if you felt the film dragged, so will the book. it doesn't really stick to the book, but the way sinclair writes, he puts in a lot of detail and dialogue that draw things out. i think this is interesting, but it may be dull to others.

3/11/2008 7:09:07 AM

Wow, I hate to say this considering how much I was looking forward to this movie, but I couldn't even finish it. Haven't come across a movie this slow with nothing happening in it in a long time. Such a shame, because the acting was top notch.

3/11/2008 8:31:03 PM

On DVD 4/8.

3/20/2008 6:15:41 PM

We are keeping it at Galaxy one more week for anyone that wants to see it on the big screen at 3:45 until next Thursday

anyone think this movie has a pretty dumb title?

3/26/2008 10:52:10 PM

I do.

They should have called it There Will Be AWESOME.

3/26/2008 10:56:50 PM

saw it tonight... pretty good, not great. Great technically, great performances, story wasnt the best...

3/31/2008 12:31:19 AM

For those of you that could not finish it, I think your head dr's may need to rethink your adhd medicine dosage

3/31/2008 12:42:32 AM

Hey Mr. Joshua, what are you up to?

Oh, just kicking back watching There Will Be Blood at the new place.

4/8/2008 11:32:03 PM

^^I beg to differ.

The movie was just boring and lacking.

Other than the superb acting, there just wasn't much there.

4/8/2008 11:41:00 PM

Art was great
Acting was great
story wasn't entertaining as a whole, but it had good moments.

i didn't really like it, but only because i value the big picture.

fuck deep characters and good stories, I WANT LARGE MORPHING MACHINES AND EXPLOSIONS.

4/9/2008 2:16:44 AM

ACTUALLY, there's a movie that has both large, morphing machines and explosions. Plus the chicks in it are super hot.

It's called "Transformers," and I think you should check it out.

4/9/2008 2:51:01 AM

i can't tell what the motive of your post is. it is late, and maybe my sarcasm or sarcasm detection device is down.

4/9/2008 3:12:23 AM

this movie has the best build up to an ending i might have ever seen and I did laugh when he said "I'm finished" and the credits rolled

the more I think about it this movie was awesome

"I've abandoned my boy" - that scene was great

4/9/2008 12:13:46 PM

yea but all that stuff about not taking care of his son doesn't really ring true when he wasn't really his son to begin with

4/9/2008 2:39:03 PM

So was he just putting on a show for the congregation when he was baptized?

4/9/2008 2:40:12 PM

of course....he wanted access to the land.

4/9/2008 2:41:16 PM

i'm of the opinion that he lied to his son

just another way to "win"

he's like the epitome of an internet troll: win at all costs

4/9/2008 2:41:29 PM

haha of course he was putting on a show - he could barely contain himself from beating eli right there in front of his congregation

About what? Not being his real father?

Because he definitely was not his real father.

4/9/2008 2:51:00 PM

I was never sure if he was faking it in that scene or not. You could argue that he was a complete sociopath, but the little flashback to him laughing with young HW after he disowns makes me scratch my head.

The only person that he really lets in is Henry, and thats solely because he thinks that he's family. You could make the case that he's only sincere with family and as such he never cared about HW.

4/9/2008 2:52:44 PM

^^how do you figure that?

Did you not watch the first 15 minutes of the movie?
