So says Nikki Finke of the popular Hollywood blog, Deadline.com. The film premiered Monday evening at the opening of the New York Film Festival. And for those who doubt her credibility, Finke is probably the most highly respected blogger in the business.

quote:

As Deadline revealed exclusively last week, the Steven Spielberg-directed Lincoln made a surprise World Premiere at the New York Film Festival Monday evening. It has been one of the wild cards in the Oscar conversation. I saw it tonight. I thought Daniel Day-Lewis was a deserving Oscar winner for My Left Foot and There Will Be Blood, and that he probably should have won for In The Name of the Father. But this really is his best performance. He becomes Lincoln, beyond an uncanny physical resemblance.

I almost started a thread about this after seeing the trailer. For such a peculiar looking guy, Daniel Day-Lewis is a chameleon. I mean, this is freakin Hawkeye! It is amazing how he is barely recognizable as himself in his movies. Truly an amazing actor.

I'm %100 sure at least he himself will be awesome in this. But being better than My Left Foot is almost hard to imagine. Or Bill Cutting.

He appears to extremely resemble Lincoln, and I think on that alone people will say its best performance but out acting his roles in My Left Foot/Gangs of New York, not so sure.


Edit: Typed his name as Bob the Butcher for some reason first. Though I think if DDL could probably pull off Bob the Builder and make it a good movie.

Could y'all imagine if DDL did a cameo on a Breaking Bad episode directed Nolan in which he is seen watching an episode of The Wire? Spooge.

Most will be eating this shite up no marker what. Any criticism comes off as bashing because people around here get so hyper-sensative about certain movies.
