      There Will Be Blood...

      Has anyone seen the new movie There Will Be Blood? I just saw it and in my opinion its one of the best movies of the year. It stars Daniel Day-Lewis, who I was not very familiar with before this film, but after seeing him in this movie I consider him to be one of the best actors I know of. His performance was excellent (he won "Best Actor" at the Academy Awards). The movie is about oil drilling in the early 1900s.

      If you haven't seen this movie I highly suggest it.

      "We're so engaged in doing things to achieve purposes of outer value that we forget the inner value, the rapture that is associated with being alive, is what it is all about."
      -Joseph Campbell
      "He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would fully suffice. This disgrace to civilisation should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, senseless brutality, deplorable love-of-country stance, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be part of so base an action! It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder."
      -Albert Einstein

      Yeah I saw this last night.

      Usually with these type of movies I tend to nod off somewhere along the line But this one managed to keep my attention through the entire 160 minutes, which says alot

      What I liked the most about the movie was Daniels' character, Mr Plainview. He played it brilliantly! One of my favorite scene's must've been in the church where he was being baptised or whateverthehell was going on. I was just waiting for him to stand up and beat the shit out of that "prophet" Eli. Great stuff.

      That was a gripping scene, but I thought the last scene of the movie was perhaps the most captivating.
