I just rented out the entire theater....

Listen: if you have even seen me within the last decade you know that one of my favorite directors in film is Paul Thomas Anderson. Also, if you were any where near me after the Academy Awards when Adrian Brody won for the pianist, you have noticed my hand all stitched up from punching BOmura's 80 inch big screen tv because Brody winning the prize for "learning how to play piano - sort of" meant that a man who portrayed Bill The Butcher, who scared the snot out of me in a 10 second trailer of GOFNY doing nothing but raising his arms as if to say "You want a piece of this?" - did not.

Well, Paul Thomas Anderson (PTA) and Daniel Day-Lewis (DDL) are making a movie called "There Will Be Blood." Which is exactly what's going to happen if DDL is snubbed again. Guaranteed, he will be NOMINATED for Best Actor -Academy Award- for this role. Whether those fat toads in the voting booth will give him the nod or decide to watch "The Departed" again is out of my control.

I saw the poster for "There Will be Blood" when I went to see Wes Anderson's "Bengal Lancer" film. Not bad. Natalie Portman sort of ruined it for me, but less so than what she did to "Garden State." But what Natalie Portman ruined, "Sweet Lime" girl more than recovered. Geemony.
