I drink your milkshake!

Could the good folks at Paramount Vantage and Miramax have missed their best potential marketing hook? Their version of, "Say hello to my little friend?" And could "There Will Be Blood" be raking in blockbuster money (or at least "Juno" cash) if its tagline had been "I drink your milkshake!"

Think of the merchandising opportunities alone!

In an awards season that's been punctuated by all manner of drama, and we're not talking about the movies here, we're finding it downright high-larious that there's a Web site dedicated to "TWBB" and the now somewhat-iconic Daniel Plainview line. And it's called...wait for it...idrinkyourmilkshake.com. Props, Jurgen, whoever you are, for this inspired project. (Act now for your very own idrinkyourmilkshake e-mail address!)

Maybe we're just post-Globe-letdown punchy, but we think that's a fine kick in the pants.

And there's more. The Vulture blog has come up with "a guide to proper usage," fearing that Sports Center anchors and other poseurs will mangle the phrase, completely draining it of its wicked force.

Check the YouTubes for a weird and whack "There Will Be Milkshakes" mashup.

Just so you know there's no minutiae uncovered here, there's even been some online debate about whether Daniel Day-Lewis' Plainview would've been able to threaten to take someone's frosty treat, historically speaking. Helpful Wikipedia lets us all know that he, in a late 1920's-set movie, could have indeed. Milkshakes were already being whipped up years prior. With electricity, yet.

Thanks for that detail, P.T.A., because Plainview saying he'll wrest away Paul Dano's preacher kid's non-fat latte would've really taken us out of the story.
