Did you like it?
Does it deserve Best Picture?
Did 'Ghandi' deserve Best Picture?
Did Ghandi really look like Ben Kinglsey?
Is Ben Kingsley in 'There Will Be Blood'?
Is there blood in 'There Will Be Blood'?
You know when you cut yourself and you start bleeding? And then there's a scab and it really bugs you and it itches like crazy and then when you scratch it, it comes off and gets jammed under your fingernail and you're bleeding again? Does that happen in 'There Will Be Blood'?

1. I did not see it. But I heard a comedian on the radio yesterday say:

"There Will Be Blood. There will also be boredom."

Seriously. That was his review.

:rofl:

3. I hope that's not true.
But it is a funny line.

This year, I've seen 3 of the 5 Best Picture nominees. If I see 'TWBB' and 'Atonement' that will make all five. I don't think that's ever happened before.

Enjoy it though. I did hear it was really good.

2. Atonement is going to win best picture
I haven't seen it or any other movies in a theater for a LONG time (baby and all) but from the comercials I can tell you that Atonement is going to win best picture. Juno may win best original screenplay but that will be all it wins.

4. It seems like it would be boring
but it has a snazzy title and its been getting good reviews. I probably shouldn't judge by the preview. Let us know if its good.

5. Those are all very serious questions to ponder over!
Enjoy the movie! My husband really wants to see it! Let me know how it is.

7. I saw it last night.
It was very good, but long, and the story was a little uneven.

The performances by Daniel Day Lewis and Paul Dano are fantastic.

9. I didn't go - too wiped out after a wild and crazy work week.
I rented the first two seasons of 'The Office' instead and watched them with a sixer of Shiner Amber* and popcorn. :beer:

I'll report back with a full review or press release after I do see it :)

:hi: Bunny!

10. Saw it last night
It was most excellent.

I could easily see D D Lewis walking away with the Oscar for this performance.
