has anybody been practicing their plainview impersonations? it took me a while, but my buddies say i'm starting to get good at "i drink your milkshake" and "bastard in a basket." we had a lot of trouble with the laugh after "...people."
I've been working on mine since the teaser. I incorporate, "Ladies and gentlemen, if I say ____________ , you will agree," into casual conversation.

i did that for a while... now i'm more likely to use "you look like a ffffffffffffffffooool.."
i've been in a room with four Plainview impressions going. the most popular phrase by far is "THERE'S A WHOLE OCEAN OF OIL!" followed by "I've abandoned my child!" mind you none of the four had seen the movie at the time. i've gotten pretty good. have yet to try milkshake, bastard, or fool. i don't understand how ddl didn't wreck his voice. it's so.. scratchy/throaty. maybe he did it some other way.
The line I like to say is "this is my son, H-double-U Plainview." I then follow that with politically incorrect impressions of adult HW... :yabbse-undecided:
im pretty good at "Oh" from the deleted campfire scene. that's about it.
i can do a kickass vincent froio.
Thank you people for keeping me entertained through this hell of an all-nighter.
i split this cause it deserved it.
funny stuff. i really want to use these lines in everyday speak but i only know like 2 ppl who have seen the movie.

i'm kinda doing that anyway, usually without the accent.
I've pretty much got the "why don't I own this?" speech down.

I pulled that one out as I was walking through Borders with my girlfriend and saw the 3-disc "Hot Fuzz" special edition. It was a spot-on impression, but she said she would break up with me if I ever did it again. I'm pretty sure she was kidding.... :ponder:
nothing better than giving someone the ol' "Do you understand, (their name)? That's more to the point, do you understand?"
they get scared.
This reminds me of the time you guys all went out and got those little orange hats that Team Zissou wears.
this thread is fucking boring.
i ushered in the era of xixax audio clips in late '07 and now we're ALL going to do our part in '08 with this thread!
SO LETS DO IT, STARTING WITH SOMEBODY ELSE OTHER THAN ME.
AUDIO CLIPS OF CMBB IMPRESSIONS.

ok that was brilliant but its too bad it wasn't actually pozer. DQ'ed!
That's an awful impression.
'Blood' fans drink up milkshake catchphrase
By Scott Bowles, USA TODAY
LOS ANGELES — If you have a milkshake, and I have a milkshake, then you have Hollywood's hottest catchphrase.
Every year, we seem to get at least one. "I see dead people." "I wish I knew how to quit you." Anything from Napoleon Dynamite.
This year's latest cinematic must-say comes from There Will Be Blood, the oil drama in which Daniel Day-Lewis delivers a crushing insult to a nemesis with the punch line "I drink your milkshake! I drink it up!"
Relatively few people have seen the movie — this past weekend, it expanded to about 1,500 theaters and its gross so far is $21.1 million — but the dialogue has taken off nonetheless.
A "There Will Be Milkshakes" video, with scenes from the film playing to Kelis' song Milkshake, has more than 60,000 views on YouTube. IDrinkYourMilkshake.com has become a popular forum to discuss the films of There Will Be Blood director P.T. Anderson.
New York magazine even offers a user's guide to the phrase. It suggests using it as sports metaphor ("The Celtics drank the Knicks' milkshake last night"), a sexual double entendre or a taunt, as in "You'd best back down before I drink your milkshake."
Anderson concedes that he's puzzled by the phenomenon — particularly because the lines came straight from a transcript he found of the 1924 congressional hearings over the Teapot Dome scandal, in which Sen. Albert Fall was convicted of accepting bribes for oil-drilling rights to public lands in Wyoming and California.
In explaining oil drainage, Fall's "way of describing it was to say 'Sir, if you have a milkshake and I have a milkshake and my straw reaches across the room, I'll end up drinking your milkshake,' " Anderson says. "I just took this insane concept and used it."
So have the movie's fans.
Kevin Kunze, 18, a student at the University of San Francisco, says he created the YouTube video "just to get people to see the movie. I loved it. I had no idea it would take off like this."
Nor did Jurgen Fauth, the website creator.
He says he wanted simply to have an audio clip of the line, delivered in Day-Lewis' booming baritone.
"But (Anderson's) fans started using it to talk about his movies, so I made it a forum," he says. "Although I think some people turn up the volume and hit refresh to drive their co-workers crazy."
Not that Anderson minds — or worries that it will undermine the gravitas of the movie, which is up for eight Oscars, including best picture, director and actor.
"I love the YouTube video," he says. "It's completely insane and hilarious. It's crazy what people latch on to."

Keith Olberman(i think) on msnbc just said it! He was saying something about how Obama won all these states Hillary was leading in the past and in effect he descirbed it an "I drink your milkshake" instance for Obama.
Also I'm sure some of you caught Colbert Monday night say "there will be blood" as he went to "fight" Stewart and Conan.
its getting out of control. this probably belongs in the "stupidest thing" thread, but today i was standing outside of class and overheard two girls talking:
girl 1 (shrek voice): i've abandoned my boy! i've abandoned my boy! (x3)
they giggle.
girl 2: haha whats the from?
girl 1: um, no country for old men.

It's really only one step away from working like "owned" or "served." Before long, people like Olberman will be saying, "he really drank her milkshake" (if they aren't already).
I work at the YMCA for an after-school program with Children.
We were playing dodgeball with the kidd-O's when I hit my fellow counselor, on the other side, numerous times. He THEN devoted the rest of the game to scoring me out before we got kicked out of the gym for a Yoga class.
"I'm going to Bury you under the GROUND, Adam," he said. "I'm going to bury you under the ground..."
we are hilarious people.
My son just turned 3 and is a high functioning autistic - so he doesn't have much speech yet. We've been teaching him sign language and he picks it up really quick - as well as a sort of hearing impaired vocalization of the speech (though his test don't confirm or deny an actual hearing impairment.)
Okay, on topic - we've been teaching him sign - so I decided to teach him "I drink your milkshake" in sign language.
Classic. A barely 3 year old, doing his best Daniel Plainview with the sign language accompaniment. I thought it appropriate. Plus it's so dang funny when he gets to the "shake" part and his little body just jiggles. Awesome. And if I lived in an area where my phone could access the web (Verizon, your service bites) I would upload a clip to youtube, alas I can not. Sorry. :(

that didn't need to be posted.
From Entertainment Weekly's The 100 Greatest Characters of the Last 20 Years:
#85 Daniel Plainview - From the opening of 2007's There Will Be Blood, Daniel Plainview seems as obsessive as the actor who plays him. Daniel Day-Lewis labored tirelessly over the ruthless man's vocal cadences. When oil baron Plainview gripes, "There are times when I look at people and I see nothing worth liking," he appears to drink up human weakness as if it were, well, a milk shake.
