WEA,The review.......
Writer-director Paul Thomas Anderson steps outside his contemporary world of dysfunctional Angelenos to explore a very different dysfunctional man -- an oil pioneer whose trailblazing spirit is equaled only by his murderous ambition. There Will Be Blood is Anderson's loose adaptation of the novel Oil! by Upton Sinclair, and it focuses its attentions on Daniel Plainview (Daniel Day-Lewis), a failed silver miner who happens upon black gold during a disastrous excavation that ends in a broken leg. Pulling himself up from the bowels of the earth, both literally and metaphorically, Plainview embarks on a systematic and steadfast approach to mastering the oil business. Using plain-spoken and straightforward language, and accompanied by his young son, H.W. (Dillon Freasier), Plainview launches a campaign to convince small-town property owners they should let him drill their land. Without him, they won't have the equipment to access the profit beneath their feet. He builds an empire this way -- and gradually becomes obsessed with the intrinsic value of power, growing increasingly irascible and paranoid in the process. Plainview meets his match in Eli Sunday (Paul Dano), a teenage preacher in the small California town of Little Boston, whose brother tipped Plainview off to the town's plentiful supply of untapped oil. To fully reap the benefits of the land, Plainview must suffer the opposing whims of this "prophet," whose legitimacy is questionable at best. And it's unclear either man is prepared to pay the humiliating price the other wants to exact. There Will Be Blood features an anachronistic percussive soundtrack by Radiohead's Jonny Greenwood, and it was shot in the same town where the James Dean epic Giant was filmed.I've seen it twice, still not sure about the ending....

That was a great review. You should think of doing it for a living, or at least a hobby.
The only problem is that you didn't answer the question for those of us who didn't see the movie, "What's up with the 'I drink your milkshake' line?GO DAWGS!!

OU Ron Whats there not to understand, the wimpering, pathetic, pitiful Eli got bashed in the head with a bowling pin.Plainveiw got to exact his revenge upon Eli who had humiliated Plainveiw in public earlier on.Eli was a fake who used his position to persuade Bandy not to let Plainveiw build his pipeline across Bandy's property without first being subjected to being publicly humiliated and slapped repeatedly by Eli.
The pipeline was built and Eli had sealed his fate. How dare this low lying snake come crawling to Plainveiw asking for money. So Plainveiw killed him end of Eli and end of story.
I guess I'd rate the show about 2.5 stars
good story,good direction, but the audience will find trouble identifying with the main character,
A well done film and D.D. Lewis did a good job of portraying a self centered, ambitious,phycophathic wildcatter.
little too dark for most audiences 2.5 to 3 stars

Let's see here......"must be square, no smaller than 6" x 16" " Is 6 x 16 a square in Gainesville? This must have come from the same brilliant guys who put a crocodile on the cover of the media guide a couple of years ago.

Any you homos touch me or touch my stuff, I'll kill you!

Can't they like get to travel to the P.I. with Tebow or something?
Okay, I don't understand the milk shake scene from There Will Be Blood. Is it worth seeing? Is Ebert and Roper in the house? Anyone?
