Oh, man. There's one thing I love more than parodies — and that's bad puns. Ladies and gentleman, another parody of
There Will Be Blood: There Will Be Bud.
All of the new DVD releases hit stores (and
Netflix) on Tuesdays. So each week in
What to Netflix: New DVD Tuesday, I sort through the best of the batch and tell you what to add to your queue. In addition to the titles below, you can also rent
Reservation Road (not to be
confused with Revolutionary Road), and Leonardo DiCaprio's global warming warning,
The 11th Hour.
Happy April! Here in my part of the world, the sun is shining brightly, but I still plan to be inside a good part of this month due to movie releases like
Baby Mama and
Leatherheads — not to mention the great
TV returning this month. In addition to new movies and good TV, this April brings some fabulous new music, an exciting new read and a few Oscar darlings on DVD.
Move over,
Pearl. There's a new menace in town, and he's gonna drink your milkshake! Daniel Day-Lewis in
There Will Be Blood has nothing on this guy.
Well, the
results are in, and we now have movies that will forever be known as
Oscar-winning. A lot of you said
you go see the films once they're nominated, but if you didn't get to all of them before Sunday's show, maybe now's the time. Some people were so smitten with
Marion Cotillard's acceptance speech that they want to rush out to see
La Vie En Rose for her performance.
Ever since
There Will Be Blood hit theaters last year, "I Drink Your Milkshake" references have been all the rage. But I have to give Saturday Night Live credit for the parody they served up on Saturday night that envisions the now-classic line as the basis for a Food Network show that finds Daniel Plainview criss-crossing the country in search of the perfect milkshake. (Might I suggest
he try this recipe from Yum?)
Bill Hader does an eerily spot-on impression of the now-
Oscar-winning Daniel Day-Lewis, and Fred Armisen makes an appearance as
No Country for Old Men's Anton Chigurh, complete with deadly air tank and Javier Bardem pageboy.
The
"I Drink Your Milkshake" line from
There Will Be Blood is this year's most unlikely catchphrase. But who can blame Daniel Plainview? He may be an oil man, but he also loves milkshakes!
No surprise here: the incomparable Daniel Day-Lewis won the award for Best Actor. He was among a distinguished group of actors that included George Clooney, Johnny Depp, Tommy Lee Jones, and Viggo Mortensen. What do you think about this win?
To wrap up our week of
Oscar-worthy gadgets, is the final 2008 Best Picture Oscar Nominee
There Will Be Blood. Based on the novel Oil! by Upton Sinclair, There Will Be Blood is set in the late nineteenth century in Southern California and stars main-man Daniel Day-Lewis.
I drink your milkshake! I drink it up!
Chances are, you've heard about the milkshake line from the Oscar-nominated film
There Will Be Blood — don't forget to fill out your
Oscar ballot!
