I used to love that movie as a kid and rewatched it a few months ago. It's got some good moments but it doesn't hold up that well.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

He's up there. I might be variously convinced it's Jake Gyllenhaal, Paul Dano, or Jesse Plemons. Given a few more projects, Adam Driver might give them all a run for their money...
I'd say Dano's performance in There Will Be a Blood is my favorite. Gyllenhaal's got Donnie Darko, Nightcrawler, and Brokeback Mountain.
Yeah, Gyllenhaal is absolutely up there. So is Driver (like you said, depending on what comes next). I have to eliminate Plemmons for sure. And Dano... I want him to be the best of his generation, but I think he's hit his ceiling. That's what worries me about him.

Still... RG has Blue Valentine. Which might be the single greatest performance of the the last two decades. MAYBE.

You guys ever see a movie and think, "Man, I shoulda made that movie! That's my movie! Everything about this movie is completely my aesthetic and taste and represents the movie I wish I could make." ?

When Valhalla Rising came out, I was pretty sure I DID make it.
