I seen this film last week, and it was an amazing film. Unfortunately I thought the soundtrack was quite distracting at times. But, I guess you could expect that when you let Radiohead score your film. A definite recommend for the acting all around though.

I didn't know that Radiohead did it. That's pretty bad ass.

People said the same thing about the Punch Drunk Love score. But I dug it.

I believe it's actually a member of the group, and not the whole band.

A Jonny Greenwood score?

Scott Tenorman has already purchased his ticket.

Can't. Freaking. Wait.

The score, from what I heard from the trailer, is very good. Quite abstract but yet it seems to fit in with the tone of Day-Lewis' delivery. And it's winning alot of critics awards making it currently the frontrunner for the original score Oscar.

I guess you'll need to see the film to hear some of the more jarring parts of the soundtrack that aren't included on Amazons samples. Soundtrack aside, great film.

Daniel Day Lewis is mesmerizing in the trailer and he seems to be channeling John Houston voice wise

Goddammit! Why is it that every single movie I really want to see is always a limited release, and every single shitty movie I have no interest in ever seeing is playing right down the street from my house?

It seems to be a problem when you acquire what some call "taste".

Is there an expected wide-theatrical release date for this movie yet? Next week or the week after or something?

I drove 180 miles round trip today to go see The Savages & The Diving Bell and the Butterfly. Already did it once this month for No Country For Old Men and will probably do it again for There Will Be Blood.

I generally have to do the same thing, although for me it's a scant 150 miles. Hell, I drive that distance almost once a month to see one movie. Cleveland Cinemas has a "Cult Film Series" that goes on the first Saturday of every month. The upcoming year has A Clockwork Orange, Harold and Maude, Dead Alive," so needless to say, it's always a fun time.

Sadly though, I do feel [b]slop's[/i] pain. It's frustrating, especially when you have to create an all-day event to see a few movies...

P.T. Anderson and Daniel Day-Lewis should equal masterpiece by my estimation. Day-Lewis simply floors me with every performance and I simply love the freshness that Anderson brings with his filmmaking. I've yet to see a movie by either that I've not absolutely loved the direction or the masterful acting.

I free up for some cinema tomorrow and this is on my must-see list

I might have to do this as well (did for No Country), although round-trip to LA for me would be just under 100 miles, so no big whoop. But after trying a bunch of people, I can't seem to get anyone to go with me. Everyone's either too busy, or just don't want to make the trip to LA to see a movie a little early. I might have to do it alone, which is kinda depressing.

Many of the year-end wrap ups and critics' lists I've seen in the past few days have called this the one and only true masterpiece of 2007, which is high praise indeed considering the quality of many other films out there.

And the Oscar now belongs to Day-Lewis.

It's showing in Philly on Saturday night. Unfortunately it's a midnight showing, and I don't think I could watch a 160 minute movie starting at midnight. Hopefully it does go wide on the 18th, because I'm pretty excited to see this one.

Starts on Friday (1/4) here in Phoenix. I don't get to excited about seeing upcoming movies anymore. But I'm pretty anxious for Friday to come.

I'll be there. The Ritz only had ten tickets left as of yesterday evening. I plan to show up at least an hour early.
