i thought "TWBB" was pretty boring except for the last couple of scenes and Day-Lewis' performance. it was like a show on History Channel.
there's a thread matching old actors with new ones with a blank by Day-Lewis' name. i submit that he's the new Al Pacino.
Wow! Did we see the same movie? I loved every minute. Boring????
Do you usually go see action films for entertainment?
I read through that thread. While it's kind of a fun game, no two people are the same. In a lot of the instances, I felt it was an insult to one or the other actors in the match ups.
And, I certainly wouldn't pair DDL with Pacino.

Sorry. I didn't really look to see what you like watching. It's just an odd comment, I think, that you found the movie boring. I really enjoyed it and at no time during the film did I think, "Man, this is boring." Or even, "This is running a little long." And, I have thought that before in lesser movies.
So, I just wondered if you like a little more action in your movies. Which, if you did, I could see where you wouldn't be into watching someone drill for oil.

Name one movie similar.
Miss Haversham loses touch with normality in a highly similar way (self-indulgence, tyrrany, bitterness), so any version of Great Expectations would probably do. So it was original, oh, in the century before last. |

I saw them both for the first time on the big screen last fall. Now I've seen THERE WILL BE BLOOD on DVD [Ms. Randall hadn't been able to attend the FSLC screening, so we rolled it last week for her]. I remember NO COUNTRY specifically and have read the source novel [haven't read Sinclair's "Oil!", which in any case was only a loose source; NO COUNTRY is plucked from its source almost line by line]. I'll have to see the Coen movie again to be certain, I guess, but my own critical faculty pronounces P.T.'s work superior.
BLOOD is better.
