P.T. Anderson gives me a day-belated birthday present!

The first teaser poster for "There Will Be Blood", my #1 most anticipated film of the year.

Click for super-large awesome version.

fucking SWEET.

 

[Lancemc]

I think this might be one of the most clever, affective, and haunting film posters I've ever seen.

 

[No spoken words]

I just re-watched Magnolia, Boogie Nights and Punch Drunk Love last week. Cannot fucking wait for this.

 

[Lancemc]

I personally feel that each of PT's films has gotten progressively better as he's gone on. If the pattern holds, this will be his finest work yet, and it already has the source material, setting, cast and crew of the highest caliber.

while you are waiting you should go back to one of his earliest films

Hard Eight

 

[Lancemc]

"Hard Eight" is a damn fine debut. Philip Baker Hall carries the film, and he's amazing every second of it.

Hard Eight

I've seen bits and pieces of it; need to watch it in full.

 

[LMP]

Is Boogie Nights or Punch-Drunk Love the best intro to P.T.'s work?

 

[deep]

Take them in order

start with Hard Eight

it is small budget

but all the skills are there

 

[Lancemc]

Chronologically would be the best bet, though personally I went:

Boogie Nights
Punch-Drunk Love
Magnolia
Hard Eight

I don't think it really matters, but I wouldn't start with Magnolia, that's for sure.

 

[LMP]

Thanks, I'll go chronologically then.

 

[elevation2u]

I started with Magnolia and was hooked,
I immediately went to rent BN & PDL and fell in love, never seen Hard Eight
will add to queue

Trailer!

Bad link, Lance. You might want to double check it.

 

[Lancemc]

Oooo. Looks like the site had to take it down.

Bummer. Oh well, at least I got to see it several times.

 

[lazarus]

apparently it was on MySpace too but now it's gone from there as well.

Damn, I need to see this immediately!

 

[Lancemc]

Well, I didn't get to see Yuma tonight, so I can't confirm if the TWBB trailer is attached.

I did see Shoot em Up though, which I hated. (see review in review thread)

Sweetness.

 

[LMP]

"The new trailer also announces that the film will feature “Original music by Jonny Greenwood” (of Radiohead fame). Check it out after the jump."

 

[Lancemc]

Hopefully he keeps Jon Brion's score in the forefront though. That man's a genius.
