If you have seen the brilliant and inscrutable There Will Be Blood:
- Todd Alcott analyzes the movie (in four parts) with regard to Daniel Plainview's motivation and psychology and the image systems of the movie.
- You can listen to the "I drink your milkshake!" audio clip all day!
- And have it bring all the boys to the yard. (They're like, it's better than yours.)
- Damn right, it's better than yours.
- I'd teach you, but I'd have to charge.
- Ahem, sorry. Cool fact of the day: The milkshake line is actually rooted in real history -- the Teapot Dome scandal of the 1920s, when Senator Albert Fall explained oil drilling in the Senate by saying "If you have a milkshake and I have a milkshake and my straw reaches across the room, I'll just end up drinking your milkshake." P.T. Anderson took that and ran. (Source.)
- Finally: recipes.

ReplyDeleteIf you're interested, I also have much to say about Daniel Plainview's milkshake problem.

ReplyDeleteYes, yes. Milkshake recipes. Just last week, I was looking for good chocolate milkshake recipes and here's what I learned from my fattening experimentation: use less milk than they say and SLIGHTLY more chocolate. But not too much, because the line between too much chocolate and just enough is razor thin.

ReplyDeleteWhoops. That was supposed to say, "I saw 'The Light of the World' on a cart here at the Library."
ReplyDeleteAnd hooray for Jesus and milkshakes.
