Off The Beaten Path & Letting My Hair Down
OK, “we’ve” received a new user registration here at Got Fruit(?) today. Whomever the person is, I think they get me, (movie references[pics] in posts). Suddenly I’m feeling pressure to live up to a perceived notion that I’m somehow a movie trivia guru. Pressure or not, whomever you are I got a kick out of the user name. Thanks for the laugh. Intended or not, I appreciated it. 
Anywho, let’s play Connections (BBC Television series):
The user name “idrinkyourmilkshake” is a play on a line by the Daniel Day Lewis (Gangs of New York) character “Daniel Plainview” of the movie There Will Be Blood. The movie also features Plainview’s nemesis “Eli”, a charismatic & prophetic preacher played by Paul Dano (Little Miss Sunshine).
Throughout the movie the two obsessed men are at each other’s throats, and without going into spoiler mode, the line: “I drink your milk shake” is an analogy given by one of the characters as he explains to his opponent, how he bested him.
To tie things up, I had used a photo from the movie There Will Be Blood a few days ago as a visual in the post: A Point Well Taken, after making a loose reference to giving a gentle and personal testimony of how Jesus had affected my life versus giving a fire & brimstone witness/conviction session.
And all this time I thought that it was Jen of WalkTwo as the only one that got my subtleties.
To close: I saw the film about a week ago, which is as most reviews have shown, is based loosely off of the Upton Sinclair novel titled “Oil’. For more discerning Christians of secular movies, my recollection of There Will Be Blood is that the movie contains a few “violent” scenes, involving accidents around oil rigs and operations, nothing gory on the level of current slasher movies such as Hostel (no haven’t seen it and won’t or the SAW series (no more for me after the 2nd installment thanks). I don’t recall profanity blaring out at me, but don’t take my word on that. Nothing with sexual content unless your Puritan, in which case I think the scene with adolescent flirtation may just get to you.
The movie’s runtime is Dune-esque; close to 3 hours long.
So there you have it.
Grace and peace be with you.
