thehefnerSo I was still feeling bummed and sick and stressed, when ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
fragmentedsky popped into the comic store to visit me. At first, she made my mood even worse by singing, "You had a bad day..." but before I could slash my wrists with the latest issue of X-MEN: DIE BY THE SWORD (a fatal paper cut would be a lot less painful than reading it), she presented me with this mini-poster she picked up at a movie theater:
I made a sound that a man should just not make.
Above and beyond the increasing evidence that THERE WILL BE BLOOD will be one of the best--if not THE best--film of 2007 is the fact that... well, if you haven't seen the trailer yet, WATCH it.
Look. Daniel Day-Lewis is a brilliant actor. One of the greatest alive. He utterly transforms himself and disappears into whatever role he does. Much like Gary Oldman, (generally, there are exceptions, I'm sure) no single DDL performance is alike. And yet, I watch that trailer, and do see what I see?
It's Bill. It's Bill the Butcher.
No, seriously. Sure, he died in the draft riots of 1863, but he was so badass and malevolent that he instantly was reincarnated in California, and grew up to become an oil baron by the turn of the century. He died because he was out-of-touch with what his beloved country was becoming, so he just reinvented himself into a brand new dark vision of America.
Seriously. Watch this:
And then watch that trailer and tell me I'm wrong.
He can't be stopped. No matter what happens to this "Daniel Plainview," the terrifying man with the mighty 'stache will live on and on.
I'm still sick, still bummed, and that damn song is STILL stuck in my hand... but the thought of seeing Bill on the big screen does help matters some.

I have shamed myself.
