"And probably his 4th best after Boogie Nights, TWBB, and Phantom Thread (haven't seen Magnolia in a long long time so not including that)"
"Does There Will Be Blood have an S-tier villain? Does it have peak character development? Does it have W world building? Do I like the side characters? Would I date the Love Interest?"
"Forget 'barbenheimer' or whatever, will there ever be another cinematic event like this??"
"Some of the films and people he's never heard of: The Shining, Full Metal Jacket, There Will Be Blood, No Country for Old Men"
"There Will Be Blood is only a critique of capitalism if your ultimate wish is not to die alone in a mansion after having ostracized your disabled son and murdered the only person you've ever viewed as an equal.

"I guess what I'm saying is I understand hating something like Madame Web out of hand, but this feels like if liberals were hating on The Will Be Blood as a glorification of capitalism."
"There Will be Blood really just depicts an individual whose innate greed instinct gets deafeningly amplified by some unknown mechanism. It's supposedly not enough that he is constantly winning, he **needs** his opponents to be constantly losing to be content at best."

"not movies, movie titles. There will be Blood is up there for me. Spielberg also had some great ones - Jaws, Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark, etc. I also think Days of Thunder is a pretty cool one."

"About to watch There Will Be Blood for the first time on acid"
