If He Says He's An Oil Man, You Will Agree



My favourite movie of last year was Paul Thomas Anderson's There Will Be Blood. I found it utterly captivating (enough to see it three times in the theatre and to buy the dvd) and I think the character of the misanthropic oil tycoon Daniel Plainview will go down in history as one of the all-time great screen monsters. It also gave us 2007's best pop culture catchphrase - "I drink your milkshake."

There is a very good chance that Plainview will be my Hallowe'en costume this year.

That is, if I don't do Anton Chigurh.
