An offhand (but enthusiastic) comment from Maya -
By the way, have I told you to see There Will Be Blood yet? If not, Go see There Will Be Blood. It's absolutely fucking amazing. Daniel Day-Lewis expands my conception of what a human being can be and do. It's as though he has discovered a new way to exist. If I were to found a religion, I would base it on this performance. He's... I saw it a month ago and I still can't figure out the words to describe his performance. You know how every year there's some performance that people sort of casually say, "It ranks among the greats," etc.? Well, Daniel Day-Lewis doesn't rank among the greats - he is better than Brando or De Niro or whoever. He makes them look silly. I cannot overstate this: He kicks the greats' asses in this movie. Go see it.
