PTA on Fresh Air December 19th

[Pubrick]

The worst part was when she asked why no one ever said 'There Will Be Blood' in the movie. His answer was great.

"i'm just so sick of all this OIL! if someone doesn't clean it up, THERE WILL BE BLOOD"

[Gamblour.]

Normally she's really good at her interviews, but the other day she said she hated No Country for Old Men, soooooo....

She's also normally well researched. I'm not going to listen to this interview until after I see the movie, but how was she here? Seems not so much. She did an interview with the woman who directed The Savages recently, and was bringing up stuff the director was like, "How do you know that?!?" It'd be a shame if this wasn't as good.

There's always Charlie Rose...

Also, thank you for the spoilers notice.

[MacGuffin]

why isn't there food in the film?

I thought it was very food.

where did you get inspiration for the accidents/falls?

Oil = George Bush

before you did the fire scene, did you watch all your favorite fires from movies?

You know, I thought those flames looked like Backdraft ones and I was expecting DDL to tell Dano, "Check that door for heat?"

"Upton Sinclair!"

[Jeremy Blackman]

Yeah. I don't think she was very interested in the movie. Note her general light-heartedness and desire for trivia.  PTA notices this, too. Then she throws up her arms and ends it. Compare this to her Magnolia interview.
