Daniel Day-Lewis is great. I'll have to see this one.

Don't want to watch the trailer. Don't want to know what it is about. Going to the Arclight on Saturday to watch an early matinée, and I want to be wowed without influence. The only reason I haven't seen it yet is because the LA film audiences suck major bung-bung. They talk, they text message, they are just general ass-sucks of theater protocol and I refuse to be subjected to a packed theater of ass clowns. That said, this movie is well anticipated by me. Why?

A) All of my friends have said nothing but great things about it, and there's no better advertisement than word of mouth. B) Not that PT Anderson has ever made a bad movie, because he hasn't, but this is supposed to be the best one he's made since Boogie Nights. And, C) it has my all time favorite actor, Danial Day Lewis, for crying out loud! He's been consistently good in everything. Did you see In the Name of the Father? Genius! He was even perfect in Ballad of Jack and Rose, which wasn't a great movie, but a worthwhile piece to see just for DDL alone.

^ Great also as The Butcher in Gangs of New York.

Blanky, I'm the same way about any of the Cohen Bros films (minus "Intolerable Cruelty" and "The Ladykillers" ... but that is for a diffrent post), most of the time trailers give you too much info.

I have also felt your pain over the annoying audience, but there is an answer... go to see it at the Arclight. If someone glances at a phone during a showing there you can have them removed, seriously you pay the extra $ to keep the punters out. These days It's movies in this order, private screening, the Arclight or wait for video.

4th reason: To see Daniel Day Lewis rock his mustache once again.

I actually thought this movie was a horrible waste of time with little actual plot, almost no character development, and terrible music. The only parts I liked were when people were getting killed, because I disliked every single character.

JAPR will stand for the dissenting view.

lol, dissenting view. So it's more than just artsiness, eh? Got mixed feelings from watching the trailer. Then again, Gangs of NY was cool in its own crazy way.

It's all good. Maybe the purpose of the movie was to be depressing and cause the viewer to hate all the characters (all the major characters, anyway). I will give it this: as a native of the West, I felt nostalgic seeing sagebrush-filled plains, and it made me miss home (I'm currently on the East coast for school).
