Plainview, New York

It's a small town on North Shore of Long Island. If you knew your geography, it's in New York. Specifically east of NYC. It's a really nice area to live in. But if you're just visiting, there really isn't anything special to it; Just a regular town. You'd be surprised how many famous people today, grew up here in the past. Also, it's on the North Shore - the NICER part of Long Island. Schools are among the best on the Island, so that's another thing to look forward to. Yeah, there's inconsiderate people, but it's like that everywhere, and there's no way you can change that. Just deal with it because you're no wizard who can change people, no matter how much you wish to be. Also, you've probably heard this place is domninant Jews. I can answer that question with a simple "yes". That's Long Island for ya. There's also other religions, so if you're not Jewish, you're not left out. I have no idea, though, if this is considered a "rich" area. I only know our taxes are amonst the highest in America. To make it all clear in a short version, think of it as a town that you don't think is all too great, but better than you really think it is.

Plainview Moment

A "Plainview moment" is an acute and fleeting sensation of estrangement from one's community characterized by feelings of alienation and contempt for all people. Typically this phenomenon is triggered by profound disappointment with unmet expectations. An individual experiencing a Plainview moment may appear inexplicably frustrated or enraged. The Plainview moment is temporary, lasting as briefly as a few minutes or until the source of the frustration has been removed, but the intensity of the emotions experienced during these episodes can make stricken individuals extremely unpleasant or even dangerous to be around.

Named for Daniel Plainview, the fictional self-made oil tycoon and misanthropic main character played by Daniel Day-Lewis in "There Will Be Blood."
"I experienced a Plainview moment today when I went to the hardware store to purchase some lumber, and after one incompetent employee erroneously claimed they didn't carry the materials I needed, a second incompetent employee sent me to the wrong part of the warehouse to pick the materials up."

Daniel Plainview

The fictional main character in the 2007 movie "There Will Be Blood", Daniel Plainview is many things. He is an Oil Man. He is a family man. It has even been said that he is the third revelation.

Frequently drunk and angry, he epitomizes everything I wish I could be. He beats up religious leaders, threatens to kill powerful men for talking about his family, is an expert on drainage, and a milkshake connoisseur as well. In short, a complete badass in every way.
Daniel Plainview's Famous Quotes:

"Did you just tell me how to raise my family, Tilford? One of these days I'm going to come to you, wherever you sleep, and I'm going to cut your throat."

"DRAIIIIIINAGE! Drainage, Eli, you BOY! Here, if you have a milkshake, and I have a milkshake. And I also have a straw, see there it is. And my straw - are you watching? - my straw reaches acrooooooossss the room and starts to drink your milkshake. I. Drink. Your... MILKSHAKE! *SSSSSLURP* I DRINK IT UP!"

"I look at people sometimes and I see nothing to like... I hate most people."

Pull a Plainview

An act that occurs after one person wins an argument against another person. Can only apply if the loser of the argument has reached a point of being shut down and literally cannot speak any longer. The winner of the argument must have already prepared an iPod with a speaker or any sort of music playing device prior to winning the argument in anticipation of the opportunity to "Pull a Plainview" Once the winner has established that they won the argument, they say "I'm Finished" then play the music "Brahm's Violin concerto in D major", exactly like the last scene in the film "There will be Blood" The winner will then allow the entire song to play simply to rub in that they won the argument.
That little bitch was so bad when I proved him wrong how could I help but Pull a Plainview just to rub it in.
