Does Daniel Day-Lewis' overwrought, Oscar-nominated turn in "There Will Be Blood" prove he's too taken with himself to surrender to a role?
  • I don't want to watch a "naturalistic" actor in every film because it takes no talent

    people like george clooney and tom hanks are "naturalistic" actors and are, therefore, boring because they end up playing THEMSELVES in every stupid film they're in. "Naturalistic" simply means "I'm too lazy to rehearse being someone else so I'm just gonna wing it from here on out." actors shouldn't be too self conscious but when they UNconsciously have the same mannerisms and pace all the time, their work becomes worthless ...i.e. denzel washington, jack nicholson, tom hanks, etc.
