There Will Be Blood

No, I'm not talking about a triathlon injury...I'm actually talking about the movie. So I watched it last night while Bridget was at work. I figured it was a safe movie to watch with out her because I sent her into the grocery store the day before to get it and she came back out with Bella, a pretty depressing movie that she cried through. Anyway, There Will Be Blood... So rottentomatoes.com gave it a 91%, which is one of the highest ratings I have ever seen on the site. I thought the movie was OK, at nearly 2 hours and 40 minutes long it tended to drag a bit. But all in all I thought it was good. Then along came the final scene, I don't know what it was. Was I so desperate for some action or dramatic plot that just about anything would have worked, or was the ending really really good? Anyway, it seems to have made the movie for me. Now all morning I have been uttering the famous Milkshake line, here is the clip from the movie...spoiler alert though if you haven't seen it. I think that has to go down as one of the top movie lines of all time, mostly because Daniel Day Lewis (who is fantastic throughout the entire movie) delivers the line to absolute perfection.

Have you seen the movie? I'd like to hear some others reactions to see if I am just crazy or if it was really that good???

If you have seen the movie and have about 4 minutes to kill here is a funny SNL skit, it took FOREVER to download though so be forewarned. It combines There Will Be Blood and No Country For Old Men....the title of the skit is No Milkshakes for Old Men!
