It must be his, and neither ethics nor the power of Standard Oil can stand in his way.

WOW what a great movie -- epic and intimate at the same time, career high (so far) from Daniel Day-Lewis and Paul Thomas Anderson. Lots to think about for a long time. No Country for Old Men and Atonement are both great films, too, but this one's now my favorite for Best Picture ...
