Have ya seen the new Rambo flick? As an aging mercenary myself I can appreciate and congratulate Mr Rambo on the second statistic in particular ever since my daughter saw me shirtless the othe day and said (loud enough for the neighbors to hear ) “Dad, put your shirt on, you’re scaring the cat!”
The movie is There will be blood. Daniel Day Lewis is great in this. If you have not yet seen “There Will Be Blood”,
well, you’re an idiot. The film is genius – a perfect representation of
the oil industry’s insatiable greed and the lengths to which oil barons
will go in order to feed their coffers.
There is a scene late in the film during which Lewis’ character – a
man whose greed has finally turned him into a freak show – ruthlessly
tries to articulate his dominance over another character, and he does
so by comparing an oil pipeline to a straw in a milkshake.
(If you have kids in the room, send them away before watching this clip. It gets a little freaky at about the 0:50 mark.)
