Love ...I am exactly opposite than the above poster. Love <i>Magnolia</i> to bits, was severely disappointed with <b>both</b> <i>Boogie Nights</i> and <i>There Will Be Blood</i>. Still, if I had to choose between the two, I'd pick the latter, which was too annoyingly self-conscious about being an AUTEURIAL! piece, but at least seemed to have a point or two to make. Unlike BN, which to me was three hours of bland characters doing random things. Was PTA's intention with that one to emulate a porn movie with all the juicy scenes removed by the censors?Notlukenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-68522183857370169512009-08-31T11:30:58.944-04:002009-08-31T11:30:58.944-04:00I thought that "Magnolia" was awful, but...I thought that "Magnolia" was awful, but between "Boogie Nights" and "There Will Be Blood", I have to go with "There Will Be Blood". Once people start to revisit that film ten or twenty years down the line, you'll really start to see that view take shape. I think the film's pretty underrated even for the acclaim it received (which just about all centered around Daniel Day-Lewis). Some of that should have gone to Paul Thomas Anderson too.Styxnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-11264613156485795552009-08-30T20:03:33.503-04:002009-08-30T20:03:33.503-04:00I don't often agree with Tarantino but i do on...I don't often agree with Tarantino but i do on this one.
