Perhaps, because plastic is derived from oil, there was a message behind the choice of packaging. Paul Thomas Anderson probably wouldn't have made the movie if he didn't have strong feelings on the subject.

Meh. I'm still not buying it. There are ways to do packaging without it looking like that. Have you seen it in person?
The same reason I didn't buy An Inconvenient Truth. (That and it's price $24.95.) I have several DVDs that are made from cardboard. TWBB's packaging makes it look like a pamphlet.
