More Blood

A day later and I cannot get THERE WILL BE BLOOD out of my mind. I played "Proven Lands" from Johnny Greenwood's incredible soundtrack (on Nonesuch) over and over and then did some more reading on the web - good stuff out there like this interview with director Paul Thomas Anderson from The Onion and this audio interview from KCRW.



and to round out the multi-media here's an interview with Daniel Day Lewis and Paul Thomas Anderson from Charlie Rose's PBS chat show.

There Will Be Self Above All Others

Finally caught "There Will be Blood" last night - totally blown away - script, acting, photography, score all working with such precision. This blows away "No Country For Old Men" and Daniel deserves major acclaim for a stunningly physical and psychological performance that eclipses anything he has done to date. If you haven't seen it go while it's still on the big screen. If I had seen this in 2007 it would have been my movie of the year.
