Quentin Tarantino Blasts Paul Dano As The “Giant Flaw & Weak Sauce” Of ‘There Will Be Blood’
Most filmmakers know better than to publicly torch another director’s film or an actor’s performance, but Quentin Tarantino has never really played by those rules. On a new episode of Bret Easton Ellis’ podcast, where the pair ran through their top 20 films of the century, Tarantino used his praise of Paul Thomas Anderson’s “There Will Be Blood” as a springboard to lay into one of its key performers: Paul Dano.

An absurd situation, we are not a serious country and this government is worse than every Tory administration before it in so many ways it's baffling - until you realise that neoliberalism has only one trajectory (fascism) and it doesn't matter what colour tie it's wearing
"Irish author Sally Rooney has told the High Court it is 'almost certain' she cannot publish new novels in the UK and may have to withdraw her current books because of the banning of Palestine Action under terrorism laws."

Your Party running a sortition exercise for their founding conference then purging nearly 10% of those selected to attend isn't doing anything to dispell the notion that they're less a political party and more a performance art piece meant to mock the entire concept of left-wing organising

This house tax pretending is making me more insane than usual because as a renter I’ve had to move every 1-3 years just as standard because rents always rise. And no one cares. House owners get a tiny fraction of that precarity and suddenly it’s the worst thing that’s ever happened

One of the big issues of our time is seeing 'young people cant afford homes' and 'homeowners cant afford to be taxed more' as two separate problems, rather than the inevitable consequence of an economy built around inflated house prices to placate landlords
Some sympathy for this potentially made up woman but I wonder how the poster feels about the numerous people who would love to be able to call a house their own and form relationships with their neighbours but can't because of the housing market. Does their emotional plea count for anything?
Mumsnet is already on the case.
