Maybe everyone who watched this film had the same experience, but I found myself relating quite well to Daniel Plainview, enjoyed every long, slow moment of it.
Religion makes you crazy? Money makes you greedy? Ambition blinds us?
No fucking way. I just had no idea. Thank you, Paul Thomas Anderson, for taking THREE HOURS OF MY LIFE I'LL NEVER GET BACK to point out three facts that I learned on the playground when I was 5.
I give you the time thing, it was quite long...I think I am unique in my love for long, slow, boring movies. But the music was awesome, and the film was beautiful. I don't think we will find common ground on this one, but I also hate Love & Basketball, so we're even.

Just a question, but do any movies teach you something you didn't already know?

smarty pants smitty. good point, but they can usually get the point across in 85 minutes, just like I like
oh, and someone, anyone, usually has dialogue in the first 25 minutes
