In the midst of Tarantino's nonsense last week he said "So you put him (Daniel Day-Lewis) with the weakest male actor in SAG? The limpest dick in the world?" This particular swipe seems less directed at Paul Dano and more towards Paul Thomas Anderson.

We never really fall out of love for the films we love as teenagers. James Goldstone's SWASHBUCKLER (1976) was one of mine. Can't wait for the Blu-ray.
