Honestly.

If you can get "outside" your own "in"sanity, this is a disappointing/yawneresque trailer.

No one would give a damn if it wasn't a Small Bombus Handersand film.  Ok, maybe for Daniel a bit, but c'mon man. 

Get a hold of yourself.  On second thought, let go of yourself.

Total.... fucking.... bullshit.

True, this film wouldn't be getting the same kind of pre-release attention/adulation if it were by by, nearly, anyone else... but, c'mon, that's because it's by Paul Thomas Anderson. Whose filmography, if I'm not mistaken, is one of the main reasons this message board began in the first place. A message board that then, and now, expanded to house all kinds of different opinions and tastes, including some less-than-enthusiastic/more critical interpretations of Anderson's work. But, still, PTA is a Lynch-pin director here. Internet communities like this are pretty much started for people to geek out/fetishize/argue their core obsessions so, yes, more people are going to be talking about this film than whatever the fuck Ken Loach is doing next.

But you know  what? Even if this wasn't by PTA, it's still a visually stunning and exciting trailer. YOu might be able to argue that, with the exception of a few here, it might be given more slack than anything else that comes out this year, but that doesn't change the fact that the images , music, and dialoue presented here merit any praise and anticipation that comes next.

It's a wonderful promise the same way the trailer for No Country For Old Men is. And, simply from one film fan to another, I'm baffled that any of that could be considered "disappointing/yawneresque".

Really... what would it take to make that exciting to you? Describe it to me, scene-by-scene... because, if it beats that, you should probably be making movies and not making apathetic criticisms on a message board.

Some comedic banter b/w cheadle and reilly about horses would have made it more exciting to me...

Or a c/u of DDL saying something like, "I'm Daniel Plainview"

Or just some fucked up wavy colors and strange music with intermittent shots of paul dano taking it from behind.

That would be exciting.

Oh, it looks very good... I'm going to stop myself from watching the trailer over and over though - once is enough: I don't want to become so familar with the images that they take on that second-hand quality when I see them in the cinema.

I wonder what, if any, parts of the music in the trailer were Greenwood. I was guessing the very percussive part was his, but then wasn't so sure about the string-orchestrated bit. It's not completely out of left field for him to do this I suppose - remember how crazy PTA was about Bodysong (he was even quoted on the DVD box here in the UK)... It's exciting, though also scary: Brion is the king and truly understands Anderson's style, whereas I don't remember being in love with Bodysong or its music. However, we shall see.

Yes, the percussive song is actually a Greenwood song from the Bodysong soundtrack. The song is called Convergence. I do hope this was just used for the trailer and that it will not end up in the movie. Nevertheless, it is an exciting trailer. I'm very interested to see how the story plays out between DDL and Paul Dano's character.

Alright.

Add some shots of Philip Seymour Hoffman gambling boisterously and I'm in.

[AntiDumbFrogQuestion]

this trailer makes the movie look so fucking cool

I wonder if anybody chuckles at the part where Paul Dano gasps

I know, it's a real reaction that would occur if you got slapped, and it's in the midst of a dramatic/awesome trailer, but it's still almost kinda funny

my favorite shot thus far is DDL in front of the Burning Tower with his back to us, with his hands up like he's conducting the demise of the thing
