When the topic of who the greatest living actor is arises, the name Daniel Day-Lewis doesn’t always seem to get a mention. Maybe if he acted a bit more often than he did (this being only his 3rd movie in a decade), there wouldn’t even be a discussion on the matter. So when DD-L sinks himself into a meaty role, whatever the film, it is indeed worth watching. Take Gangs of New York for example. We’ve been quite lucky to erase most of that overbloated mess from our memory banks, but we’d never want to forget Day-Lewis’ cunning performance as Bill The Butcher, a character which still haunts us to this day. There Will Be Blood finds Day-Lewis in a similar place, a 2 1/2 hour plus period piece where there will be mustaches, but this black gold tale fares a heckuva lot better than Scorsese’s old New York story. While we were a bit befuddled by what the movie was eggzactly trying to say, we still couldn’t help but being mesmerized from the first frame to the last (even during the slow boring parts!). Props de leon galore go out to director Paul Thomas Anderson, who for once makes a pretentious movie that justifies its pretentiousness. Also lending a helpful hand are DD-L’s Ballad of Jack and Rose co-star Paul Dano (your probably know him better as the quiet kid in Little Miss Poopshoot) as a manic man of the cloth, and Radioheader Johnny Greenwood, whose score was one of the mos bone-chllin we’ve heard since Wendy Carlos‘ work on The Shining. Blood comes awfully close to being a masterpiece, and could of been had roller skates [NSFW] been invented back then. Why? Cause then and only then, there would have been boobs!

2) baseball was a much more fun sport when controversy centered around stoopid shiz like Billy Ripken’s bat. Good thing then that Jesus invented American football and the NFC, where awful lives on and so do my Skins payoff hopes. Sorry Andy, but yer Giants stink!

3) for your consideration, a movie no one is considering: Zodiac

4) we’re having a hard time fingering out which of these Marcia Cross pics are more vom inducing: this fubared Melrose hair one or these NSFW uglies of her showering in her backyard

5) nuttin makes us more glad than the long overdue return of American Gladiators. Although there won’t be any Malibus or co-stars from The Lost Boys, it appears that the producers did do a fine job of finding the new Gladiators. Meet em here and here. And we’d love for our meat to meet with Helgggga, aka Robin Coleman

7) Gossip Girl’s Chace Crawford is impossibly beautiful, and a gay man’s wet dream cum true

8) the only NSFW animated gif you need to see this week

2) I don’t lynx Mizzou will beat Oklahoma in the Big 12 Championship, but if they do, then what could stop them from winning it all? I sure hope they do, and I’m sure alums Brad Pitt and my mother do as well

3) I lynx big bidness should suffer instead of us consumers. Two big F-Us go out to Blu-Ray/HD-DVD and the NFL Network/Cable companies

4) If a Chinese restaurant doesn’t serve sesame chicken, I lynx they shouldn’t be allowed to call themselves a Chinese restaurant

5) I lynx Showtime’s Californication [NSFW] may be the real reason why boobs were invented

7) It may not be best collection of Damon Albarn b-sides goings, but I lynx the Gorillaz new D-Sides disc is still better than no sides at all. Plus the disc with all the remixes is tres fab

8) I lynx this is the biggest no-brainer of the year: Flight of the Conchords were named the 2007 Wellingtonians of the Year

9) I lynx it’s every human’s duty to make the pilgrimage to Graceland, at least once in their lifetime

2) I Col Klink I won’t be headed to Detroit anytime soon

3) If Ebert never returns to the At The Movies balcony, I think Michael Phillips should be the only choice to replace him. He’s the perfect foil to Roeper. AO Scott is mos certainly nott

4) I know you didn’t see it in theaters, so if you rent one DVD this turkey tweakend I Col Klink you should make it La Vie En Rose (TWS review | buy). If Marion Cotillard doesn’t win the Oscar for Best Bizatch Who Can Act, I’ll give up eating fried chicken… for one whole week!

8) I Col Klink it’s time for MTV to make the VMAs more like the EMAs. The ‘005 Borat hosted edish was probably the bestest awards show ever… not featuring boobs or slime

9) I Col Klink a Rolling Stones’ Clockwork Orange woulda totally kicked a Beatles’ Lord of The Rings‘ a$$ 17 ways from Sunday. And Stephen King, I do enjoy your wit and jizzdom, but will you shut yer trap about Kubrick’s Shining already?
