I love (fucking love) your grade for There Will Be Blood.<br /><br />So glad you're such a PTA fan, he's one of the definitive voices of this or any cinematic generation.Alex Withrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15887018476048271594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3996842231848527441.post-90214043925351124542012-11-12T18:01:32.797-05:002012-11-12T18:01:32.797-05:00Thanks Eric !!

There Will Be Blood is just unbelievable in how good it is, and Punch-Drunk Love is one of my personal favorites as well. He really is one of the great modern filmmakers.Erichttp://twscritic.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3996842231848527441.post-86694028003408356792012-11-11T15:20:50.637-05:002012-11-11T15:20:50.637-05:00Thanks.

I really cannot recommend any other movie higher than TWBB, if only for force of a performance but even the rest of his movies are worth as well. Enjoy !!SDGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09331736603243732602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3996842231848527441.post-88471717337177321782012-11-11T15:18:05.542-05:002012-11-11T15:18:05.542-05:00Thanks !!

The Master is definitely Love or Hate movie, almost impossible to be anything in between. I would love to hear your thoughts when you get to it.

It freaked me out as well and we all know - you and Boogie Nights. :) If you want to see his shorts, they are all on YouTube.

I'm still not sure how I feel about the big "WTF scene," despite the clear biblical allusion and the fact that it fits nicely with the theme of guilt in the film. But hey ... it's a GREAT springboard for discussion!<br /><br />There Will Be Blood has been on my list forever. Based on your recommendation, I think I need to get to it soon.Stephaniehttp://eclecticbooksandmovies.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3996842231848527441.post-38255880116256947052012-11-10T15:30:12.874-05:002012-11-10T15:30:12.874-05:00Awesome post!

I like Magnolia but for me it's not as good as these two. I can't wait to see The Master, I heard it's either love or hate kind of movie, hopefully it will be the former for me :)s.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13987831438787776712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3996842231848527441.post-82097115507013168662012-11-10T12:31:27.329-05:002012-11-10T12:31:27.329-05:00Good post maan.

Screw the interpretation or whatever, I hated it, and so I really dislike the movie for it.<br /><br />Love Punch-Drunk Love and There Will Be Blood. Absolutely friggin' crazy about Boogie Nights. I can't even dream of coming up with a concept like that, and he wrote it at 22 and made it at 27. It's insane.<br /><br />Have to see The Master and his shorts.Nikhathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10379713171889712078noreply@blogger.com
