Before you pick up that ginormous turkey leg this week, take a moment to think of the insane and delightful universe we live in where Judd Apatow interviews Daniel Day-Lewis in front of an audience.
A while back, I read that this L.A. event was set to take place last week after a screening of the much anticipated P.T. Anderson flick, “There Will Be Blood.” Even the thought of it had me regretting my east coast address ever since.
So when I chatted up Seth Rogen about his amazing 2007, I decided to ask him about the event, and sure enough he was there the night before.
Said Rogen, “the Q&A with Judd was hilarious. Judd’s first question was, ‘Daniel, I know you’re very private so I don’t want to ask about your personal life, but I have to ask…which did you like more: ‘Knocked Up’ or ‘Superbad’?’ And he clearly had never heard of either.” Rogen joked, “he was busy mining for oil in real life.”
As for the film itself, it’s got Seth’s vote. “The movie itself is absolutely mindblowing,” he said. Rogen continued, “it kind of makes me want to quit acting to watch Daniel Day-Lewis act. He came out afterward and talked and there’s literally zero similarity between him and the character. They don’t sound the same or look the same or move the same. It could not be more different than how I operate. I literally wear the same shirts.”

There Will Be Blood is beyond belief. It is pure genius!
Another paramount Vantage Film added to my Top Ten of all time.

Daniel Day Lewis is the most brilliant actor of our times. His unbounding committment to every character he embraces is uncanny.
I have been in love with this man’s talent and integrity my entire adult life. He doesn’t have any bad days in front of the camera.
If I were a goddess I would follow him to the ends of the earth. Just knowing that he has been maintaining a presence in Marfa when I am not far away has been an exercise in self control for my life. He must know on a profound level that he has an extraordinarly devoted herd of fans of all types, but all enlightened by his obsessive fervor of acting. I love Daniel Day Lewis.
