Film Thanks for the Milkshake, Daniel Day-Lewis!

Posted by Erik Henriksen on Fri, Feb 8 at 12:30 PM

I hereby declare There Will Be Blood to be, hands down, the best picture of 2007. Why? ‘Cause somebody representing Blood’s studio, Paramount Vantage, just came by the Mercury offices and dropped this off for me.

YES THAT IS A REAL MILKSHAKE AND IT IS DELICIOUS. Oil is to Daniel Plainview what milkshakes are to Erik Henriksen.

SPOILER ALERT. (THOUGH REALLY, WHY HAVEN’T YOU SEEN THERE WILL BE BLOOD ALREADY? I MEAN, C’MON. WHAT THE FUCK.) Also, this swag would be exponentially cooler if anyone who gave the film a bad review didn’t get a milkshake, and instead got brutally bludgeoned to death with a bowling pin.

"THOUGH REALLY, WHY HAVEN’T YOU SEEN THERE WILL BE BLOOD ALREADY? "

It isn't at the cheap theaters yet. What do you think I'm some rich journalist?!

BEST MOVIE EVER! I've been annoying my friends for weeks by saying "ladies and gentlemen, you'll believe me when I tell you thank I'm an oil man" and "I drink your milkshake" in a terrible DDL brogue.

Didn't mean to be so negative, jim. Let's meet up this weekend, we can do some crazy frog karaoke and make a YTMND website.

I saw this movie yesterday at Cinema 21. The streetcar was a bit slow so I got there just in time for some cool previews, and then got to watch 20 minutes of no dialog, and watching someone be stupid and crawl around on the ground and then .. he finds oil? Then he has a kid. Then he tells people he's an oil man. Ok wow.

Don't get me wrong, DDL portrayed that character very well, and the scene where he starts pimp slapping that whiny religious fuck were fantastic, but the rest of the movie ... dear lord. First, its boring. Second, there's basically no plot. Third, I'll say it again, BORING. I actually busted out my phone to check out wikipedia for how long this thing was. I kept hoping it would get better, and since I paid a whole 6 bucks for it, I felt I had to watch the whole damn thing.

The milkshake analogy was funny, but poorly written. Bad example. A better example would have been if your milkshake and my milkshake were really the same milkshake, and we just had different straws. I drink your milkshake until I suck up a peanut and choke on it.

Finally, false advertising. There was hardly any blood except for the very end, and 2.5 hours is too long to wait for blood when the damn title promises it.
