Just to be clear here… that’s Paul Thomas Anderson of Boogie Nights, Magnolia, and There Will Be Blood. Not Paul W.S. Anderson.

Welcome to FSR’s newest weekly feature in which I break down the good, the bad, and the ugly of what Hollywood has to offer.

In my original review of There Will Be Blood, I mentioned how odd it was that a film which shuns being entertaining is so engrossing. On DVD, we see that it is much of the same.

Brian Gibson loves to buy DVDs. Come with him on his weekly journey into the depths of credit card debt as he tells you what to buy, rent and avoid.

You had to know that something like this was going to come eventually, and now thanks to the folks at Busted Tees, we have an “I Drink Your Milkshake” T-Shirt.

This humorous parody follows the rise of a cutthroat marijuana farmer and his journey to become the top dealer.

The final nominee for Best Picture is hoping that it will drink the milkshakes of the other nominees come Sunday night.

With the exception of Best Picture, the Academy Award for Best Director is arguably the most prestigious award to receive.

Entertaining in a bizarre way.

The Academy Awards don’t mean shit. Yeah, you heard me.

The award formally known as Interior Decorations is now Art Direction. Either way, its all about an eye for style.

A director generally frames a shot, where a cinematographer essentially brings out the life in said shot. This is where the latter gets recognized.

Let’s get this Oscar Week started… With posters!

David Spade parodies Daniel Day Lewis for Funny or Die.

Need something to do on Saturday, February 23. Allow us to suggest some Oscar-worthy flicks.

Is this one of the great performances of any actor in cinematic history? That might just be a topic worth discussion.

So how do you follow up eight Oscar nominations for your most current film that most people think is a horror flick? I guess the next logical step would be to actually direct a horror film.

The biggest winner in the 80th Annual Nominations? Norbit, which was nominated for Achievement in Make Up.

Though set around the turn of the 20th Century, There Will Be Blood is, in its pitting of capitalism against revivalism, conspicuously more about the state of the union at the turn of the 21st.

The DGA has been giving out awards since 1949 and have a great track record for predicting who will win Best Director come Oscar season.
