I left a response to your comment if you care to visit again! Also, I really loved "There will be blood" - but mostly because I found it to be a study of the dark reaches of the human spirit, and I'm a total sucker for that kind of story line. I find it touches the part of my brain that is enamored with human beauty, and that with all the contrast, becomes so clearly defined. Thanks again for your thoughts on cycling, Poe Hi there,

I have yet to see either, but Bob, after your review and pointing out that TWBB was done by the person responsible for <i>Magnolia</i> which I despised, I'm even less interested than before, which I didn't think possible. Thanks for the warning. Aside from both being top at the Oscars, why do people compare NCFOM to TWBB?

Do people love this film because they’re told to? Do they love it because they think if they do it makes them look more knowledgeable about film?" That's the way I feel about the Godfather series; I could never really get into it. I personally liked No Country more than Blood, but I felt they were both good films. I'd like to hear your thoughts on No Country once you get a chance to watch it. “I don’t get why everyone is so excited about this film. Do people love this film because they’re told to?

I'm looking forward to it. I've heard only wonderful things about it, and much like the Coen brothers films. Cool, Jenny: I’m hoping to see NCFOM very soon. I’m looking forward to it.

Once you see NCFOM Blood is just slow and boring. I think the people who loved There Will Be Blood hadn’t seen No Country for Old Men. Once you see NCFOM Blood is just slow and boring.

Without him, it would have been way worse. I thought the music was way over the top, though. And the end was more of the whirling, sucking eddy of dark indulgence that motivated my overall dislike of the film. Daniel Day Lewis was great, no question.

It actually ruined everything that had gone before, which I found a bit more compelling than you. The music, editing and performances wove together to be a gripping enough story for me up until the end. But, yeah, seriously over-rated.
