Movie Excitment: There Will Be Blood

Paul Thomas Anderson is a genius. There, I said it. Magnolia is my 2nd favorite movie ever, and Punch-Drunk Love is probably in the top 20. Boogie Nights is fantastic and thought I've yet to get a hands on his debut Hard Eight, I've heard nothing but good things. So when I heard he had a new movie coming out I was thrilled. When I learned Daniel Day-Lewis was staring I went into a 3 day Awesome Coma.

I, then, learned the film in question was about an Oil Tycoon and base on a novel entitled Oil! Tell me, how do you not get excited about a movie based on a book with 3 letters and an exclamation point as the title. You can't not get excited, the point tells you you have to! <--see.

The movie also features Paul Dano, who played the kid who took a vow of silence in last years Little Miss Sunshine. I'm very eager to see what he can do with actual dialog.

Daniel Day-Lewis or P.T. Anderson alone are enough to get this writer excited. But together they shall combine to form a megazord of awesomeness. If you aren't already, get excited about There Will Be Blood.
