Bringing the boys to the yard.

"We have oil and it seeps through the ground." Jürgen Fauth of About.com's excellent World/Independent Film section has purchased IDrinkYourMilkshake.com, named for the line he's deemed "the new 'Say hello to my little friend!'", and turned it into a discussion board for all things "There Will Be Blood." (He's also, for a limited time, giving out email addresses.) Here he explains that this is a labor of love:

I just got another email congratulating me on my fabulous wealth and good fortune, so just to be perfectly clear — I was trying to be clever by quoting the movie. The site is currently earning pennies a day. Nobody’s clicking on the Google Ads because they’re all for milkshake and smoothie recipes. And that’s ok — I set up idrinkyourmilkshake.com because I’m obsessed with the movie, and (to quote Sofia Coppola) “because I could.” Somebody had to grab that domain and do something with it, and it’s not really much of a “business endeavor” at all.

Daniel Plainview's signature line has also been targeted by YTMND for this, which continues to entertain us a completely unreasonable amount.
