Watched this tonight and holy fucking mother of god, not only was it probably the best movie ive seen recently (No Country For Old Men) but definitely features the best acting performance ive ever seen in my life from Daniel Day Lewis. Alot of Kubrickian elements and style going on, I fucking loved this shit. Im going to sleep now, goodnight.

i heard it was awesome, but all the hype dulled it, as happens when there's an enormous amount of hype around a movie.

hmm, should we call him "a" radiohead? Or does that refer to the fans? it's difficult.

I have seen it. Cinematography, direction, music, and acting all top notch. The story itself I found to be slow at points, muddled in others. I like the strangeness of it all, but I can't say I liked it nearly as much as No Country For Old Men.
I will watch it again on DVD.
(And hopefully Daniel Day-Lewis wins best actor for this one)

No Country for Old Men ended very unsatisfactorily, could have been a classic but they ballsed it up as usual.

i have to admit, despite the hype, i did absolutely love no country, although i feel like it would have been a much stronger movie if they had essentially cut tommy lee jones' character from the film - he really did add much to what i perceived to be the point of the film nor did he move the story forward.

Saw the trailer on youtube- looks boring. Too many humans, not enough muppets. I especially hate how movies reflect the most modern technology. The telephone is invented and suddenly a phone is ringing with SUSPENSFUL MUSIC, blingablingabling, pick up slowly heeellllooooo..? FFFAAARRTT in you EAR biznatch! And now the computer, clickity clack COMPUTER SUSPENSE, this is morpheus, oh fuck off. Besides if he was a true hacker he would have grabbed the blue AND red pills and eaten simultaneously just to see what would happen. I was so happy all those years ago when the big bang happened, I was like yes... everything exploded. Then all this stupid shit had to evolve from it. That was supposed to destroy everything not create stuff!

Jonny Greenwood is really godlike he is really good modern composer. Without him radiohead would suck big time probably
This soundtrack is just as good as the one before bodysong and you have to check "smear" and "popcorn superhet receiver" really good stuff

I loved There Will Be Blood. Best closing line of any movie, evar, in the history of movies. And the rest was good, too.

there will be blood is so very different from his other films except for the ending. i'm a *huge* pta fan, owning all of his films from hard eight to punch-drunk love, and even though this film is very different i think it's obviously his best. see it as soon as you can.

found this very boring, but with great acting and a great soundtrack that unfortunately didn't fit any of the scenes.

day-lewis' next role involves him playing a mortician. He's going to kill himself to prepare for the character.

It's great. My favorite movie this year. It reminds me a lot of Scarface except the cocaine is Black Black Black.
of course there are a few other differences too.

amazing acting, but overall i thik i liked all PTA's movies more than this one. There will be blood was just way too serious and over dramatic, i like his earlier movies that were infused with a lot of humour and quirkiness, especially Punch drunk love

pta said he wanted people to laugh at key scenes in there will be blood. 'i'm your brother . . . from another mother' comes to mind.

yeah i thought there were a lot of 'comical' scenes. the final scene starts very comically, with him literally drunk in a gutter, and continues to be almost like slap-stick comedy. But it retains this sense of impending doom which i think makes the climax even more unsettling.
