(Review Continued)
Calm down, little fuss-pots, don’t worry your heads.
And stop yelling out! Did you all take your meds?
Well, I hope so or else we might never get through.
If one Ritalin’s not helping, tell mom you need two.
And for your information, I’ll have you all know,
this all unfolds, still, with two hours to go.
The plot spans forty years! And weaves, interconnected,
at least ten different sub-plots! (apology accepted)
But if you’re so concerned, I’ll skip quick through the rest,
some stuff happens that’s bad, other stuff’s for the best.
In the end, some stuff’s left to be figured by you.
That’s a wrap, cut and print, now some thoughts on the crew.
Who?
The crew!
Gesundheit!
Boo.
Paul Thomas Anderson,
seems like a grand person,
but for his hard to rhyme name.
But that not withstanding,
his writing’s outstanding,
he’s here at the top of his game.
Then there’s Daniel Day-Lewis,
the one actor who is
a shoo-in this year for Best Actor.
He’s the bright-eyedish rogue,
with a slight Irish brogue
who becomes (not just ‘plays’) his char-acter.
And if any awards show,
has gall enough to go
ahead and ignore the performance
Of young Paulie Dano,
we all should just say “No!”
and go throw bricks through random storefronts.
Are you done yet? We’re tired, we get it, it’s great…
(Spoiled brats … only here ‘cause your dads pulled out late…)
What was that, Mr. Rosie?
I said, ‘Your right, it’s late.’
So, in closing, the lesson I want you to know
is There Will Be Blood, is a beautiful show.
A masterful, sweeping, disturbing, and raw,
tale of human potential, resilience and flaws.
Not to mention a wonderfully deep and complex,
Two hour break from you pain-in-the-necks.
Oh that’s right, did I mention, you’re too young to see,
this R-rated epic? How silly of me.
Well you are, so I guess, never mind all I said.
Suck your thumbs, pee your pants, wait for Shrek 4, instead.
And until then, remember, what’s our golden rule?
Never tell mom and dad what we heard here at school!
