i just saw "There will be Blood. . ."

"I am a false prophet. God is a superstition." Daniel Plainview, the Oilman, made the Rev. Eli Sunday say this in the 2007 Oscar arward winning movie, There will be Blood...

I always liked Daniel Day Lewis, especially when he played William "Bill the Butcher" Cutting on Gangs of New York. If I haven't seen Gangs, I might've concluded that his portrayal of the Daniel Plainview character in There will be Blood was the best I've seen him act. To my mind however, while he gave a splendid performance on Blood, Lewis just reprised his "Bill the Butcher" persona into Daniel Plainview. The Oilman could've held a huge meat cleaver and shouted "Wupsidaisy!"

In general, however, I still like this movie. Somewhat Artsy-Fartsy but with balls. It exposes a man's weakness towards anti-sociality. I also learned that one shot with a teeny-weeny .22 can kill a man, if aimed right. Also, I would never look at a bloody bowling pin the same way again. Ever.

See it too, it's worth the knock-off DVD's price.
