60755, Hey, guess what? I was at the same screening.

As for the film itself, it's really, REALLY dark.

Like, "no hope for humanity at all" dark.

But I liked it, and like you, zero, it's going to take me a second to fully digest all of it

Because once you peel back the layers what you get is a father-son story

Daniel-Day Lewis did his thing, as did Paul Dano, but I was REALLY impressed with the kid who played H.W. Didn't realize this was his first role

Pretty long flick, and if you hated Magnolia, your best advised to stay away, because PTA is on that alleged "pretentious shit" again

VERY reminiscent of Kubrick (and I was just watching 2001 and Clockwork Orange the other day)

Good film, but I don't know if it tops No Country for Old Men, Ratatouille and/or Michael Clayton for me

But again, I have to digest it fully

And frankly, it's a difficult film to digest in one sitting

Also, Jonny Greenwood's score is PHENOMENAL




Ay yo, zero, was it just me, or did it seem as if Apatow was exactly the WRONG person to be leading the Q & A? While he was funny with his quips, it looked like PTA and DDL were quite annoyed with him.
