[JG]

so much better!

Opening with huge numbers in limited release was Paramount Vantage's "There Will Be Blood," starring Daniel Day-Lewis in a tale of greed and violence during California's oil boom in the early 20th century. Playing at just two theaters in New York City and Los Angeles, "There Will Be Blood" took in $185,525 over the weekend and $309,703 since opening Wednesday. It expands to the top 10 markets Friday.

There is no download for it. There was a dvd screener released a couple days ago but the uploader stopped seeding when it was at like 12% so everyone is stuck with only 12% until the original uploader comes back. It sucks becuase it was PERFECT quality from the small bit available. DVD.

It's 3 files. DO NOT download any of the other ones floating around since it's just a .rar and when you try to unzip it it tells you you need to install some weird program which is a big no no and is obviously a virus.

There might be a cam out there but that's not even worth it. Who wants to watch Robert Elswits beautidul cinematography on a cam?

[Pozer]

Day Lewis has a good chance for best actor, but I'm not sure what else the film has going for it.

there's actually NO DOUBT in my mind now that he'll win.

[Stefen]

For those who've seen it, do you think Elswit has a shot at best DP?

[Pozer]

YES!

For those who've seen it, do you think Elswit has a shot at best DP?

for a nod, yes but he'll be competing against deakins, who'll probably get two nods at this rate... maybe that'll help give elswit his first oscar.

I'll check it out eventually. Stephanie Zacharek from Salon BLASTED it which doesn't bode well since her opinions usually mirror mine. Hmm. We'll see.

She's not off target..

She's not at all. I really loved the movie, and disagree with her about some things, but this is nonetheless a really strong and measured critique of the picture.

One of the most towering achievements in cinema this year, Paul Thomas Anderson's There Will Be Blood, finally opened in New York and Los Angeles on Christmas Day and was rewarded with a per-screen average of $91,300 over the weekend, the best average of the year, according to Pamela McClintock of Variety. Of course, the film only played at two theaters, but still, that's mighty impressive. Nineteen cities across the country also hosted a midnight screening on Saturday; no word yet on how those screenings were received.
