Paul Thomas Anderson, the auteur behind
There Will Be Blood, recently had some angry words for
Carpetbagger and delightful character
David Carr. Anderson, who
"can be a real arrogant brat", evidently flipped out on Carr when he overheard Carr saying that
Blood wasn't his absolute, super-ist favorite movie of the year. "You know you don't know a fucking thing about movies!" he shrieked at "the Bagger", and added, cryptically, "[
Blood is] the best movie of the year. Except for maybe Juno. And Clayton. And Atonement. Other than that, it was the best movie of the year." Well, I guess that's rather diplomatic of him. Though he's still an asshole: "You really think No Country for Old Men...that movie was better than ours? C'mon, do you really believe that?" Yup. A glorious, gifted asshole. Maybe he could take some lessons from Carr, who used to be quite the
hard partier, on calming down and being
cool. We think Carr's pretty good at it. [
