"I look at people and I see nothing worth liking. I see the worst in people. I have a competition in me. I want no one else to succeed." One thing about catching four movies in a row: you get used to the same trailers. And, along with the preview for Wes Anderson's The Darjeeling Limited, two I hadn't yet seen kept popping up. First, the full trailer for There Will Be Blood, Paul Thomas Anderson's upcoming adaptation of Upton Sinclair's Oil!, starring Daniel Day Lewis and Little Miss Sunshine's Paul Dano. (I've had adverse reaction to P.T.A. films in the past, most notably Magnolia and Punch-Drunk Love, but Day-Lewis is always a draw.) And James McAvoy and Keira Knightley live out the consequences of a child's lapse in judgment in the trailer for the film version of Ian McEwan's Atonement, also starring Romola Garai. It looks like my impressions of the book, I'll give it that.
