11:47 AM >> Kill the Pig, Spill its blood, Splatter it!

Notice Ensign could give no indication as to why "There Will Be Blood" was good. However, here are some reasons why the movie sucked:

1) Nobody changed (well, maybe the little kid, but DDL never liked him anyway so who cared)
2) The music was interesting but got very annoying after the first few segments (how many times does the movie need to convey that the mood is dark - I remember when I used to be "dark" - "dark and quiet," in fact - but that did not mean I had to go around acting "dark" and saying "dark" things all of the time.
3) No sympathy for DDL (as the main character, you usually want him to have some redeeming quality besides the ability to make a profit [and I'm an ardent capitalist] - ok, there is one scene where DDL cries because he misses his mommy, but that didn't come close to making anyone feel sorry for him, except maybe Ensign who wept after watching 2 girls 1 cup)
4) The movie actually was not that long - 2 hours 15 minutes about - but it seemed like it took about four hours to watch it
5) I almost left the movie, but then I thought I remembered hearing there was some kind of surprise ending or twist, so I stayed until the end - nothing really that suprising - just the continued unsympathetic rantings and lunacy of DDL's character (although I will admit the last scene in the movie was DDL's best so it was at least entertaining to watch that scene - Hey, the movie ended on a good note, at least!)
