There Will Be Lolz: Daniel Day-Lewis’ Melodramatic ‘Milkshake!’ Line To Precipitate Cultural Catchphrases?

If you haven’t seen Paul Thomas Anderson’s oil drama “There Will Be Blood,” starring the scene-chewing thespian Daniel Day-Lewis this post isn’t going to mean anything to you.

But if you have, it’s another story. We usually don’t post just random silly shit [ed. umm, no? really?], but the surfeit of parody image of DDL from ‘Blood’ (ok, just two so far), is kind of cracking us up.

Vulture is tongue-n-cheekily positing that Day-Lewis’ characters’ furious, “volcanically dramatic,” dialogue line, “I drink your milkshake! I drink it up!” (which he says to the preacher Paul Dano in the film – a character and actor that he slaps the shit out of in the film, for reals though – he’s got the bruises to prove it) is going to become the next, “I see dead people,” or “sexy time,” movie-phrase that’s going to become absorbed into the cultural lexicon.

They even give a guide on the proper use of ‘milkshake’ usage (the most clever might be the sports metaphor tradition: “Let’s face it. The Celtics drank the Knicks’ milkshake last night.”).

Will it catch on? Who knows, but we’re all for it. We’re also all for the kids who are tweaking DDL images from ‘Blood’ and giving his melodramatic looks the LOLCATZ treatment. Let’s keep this up people, it’s making us laugh.

Anyone wanna make the ICanHasOilBaron website? Maybe we can make the “Bastard in a basket!,” line the new bag of chips. How soon until people are taking Kelis’ “Milkshake” hit and editing it to clips of ‘Blood?’ That’s a million dollar idea people, run with it. Plainview’s milkshake is gonna to bring all the audiences to the yard, we’re sure.

Jeffrey Wells is all about the milkshake train as well. He thinks they should make T-shirts to get the word of mouth out (a mock illustration someone made for him pictured). Maybe the “Drainage!” campaign should start too.
