I Milk Your Drinkshake!
March 5th, 2008
Via idrinkyourmilkshake.com, where Blood obsession is still in full swing. Some recent favorites:
- Incredible revelations: the Peachtree Dance and Henry’s diary are both derived from East of Eden.
- Eli doesn’t get to bless the well, but he blesses Daniel’s house. More on the Greystone Mansion.
- Napkinface: “There is no sex.” More.
- Drinking, eating, smoking in There Will Be Blood, with screenshots.
- Running into this painting… and the way There Will Be Blood is infiltrating our lives.
- We still can’t agree it’s water, what Daniel says after the baptism, why he sleeps on the floor, and why H.W. sets the house on fire.
- Daniel Plainview as anti-hero.
- Best non-milkshake line?
- The Bible, Kubrick, and the opening sequence.
- David Bordwell takes a close look at Paul.
- And, of course, the Oscars (”Robbery! A base crime! WTF is wrong with these people?“)
- Milkshakes all around! SNL, NPR, Lego, and the New York Press.
