a character driven film directed by paul thomas anderson and based on the 1927 novel "oil!" by upton sinclair. daniel day-lewis plays the lead "daniel plainview" and gives his usual "oscar-caliber" performance is known for giving as he only seems to act in 2 films every decade. plainview on the surface seems like a simple man trying to get rich off the oil business but when his motives are questioned by a young evangelical preacher (played by paul dano of little miss sunshine) in a small california farming town we soon see another side of him. much more than just a fierce competitor and entrepreneur he doesn't want to just be the best, he wants to see no one else succeed...ever...at all costs. the film documents his decent into madness spanning nearly 30 years from 1898-1927. it is an allegory on consumerism versus faith. it has some of the best character development since taxi driver.
unfortunately i have a feeling this movie will only be remembered by some people for a specific line of dialog "i drink your milkshake! i drink it up!"

guy: i wanna see that movie where the guy says "i drink your milkshake!!!"
me: it called "there will be blood" and if that's the only thing that interests you in seeing this film...don't bother. it's nearly 3 hours long and a character driven period piece. you are much better just watching that clip over and over on "you-tube" and saying it to your friends until you bore of it. because you will most like be bored by this film. i also recommend you go watch napoleon dynamite again...it will have many more quotables for you!

If the ghost of Johnny Cash was to unexpectedly rise out of its tomb and supernaturally resurrect its musical soul in the form of a hardcore band, the result would be an anthemic, outlaw punch not unlike Boston's favorite white trash hardcore hooligans, BLOOD FOR BLOOD.
While Cash grew up as a restless farm boy who longed for fast cars and fast women, the boys in BLOOD FOR BLOOD were reared in the projects and their outlaw spirit reflects the callous surroundings from which they were rendered. Blood For Blood are from outside. They stand on the threshold of society with all but a few toes tangling off the edge with a maniacal desperation, longing for sanity. Theirs is a journey from one end of alienation to the other - only to be flung violently back to the hole from which they crawled out of. "I been held down my whole life. This band is my opportunity to spit in society's face..." says guitar player Rob Lind.
Inspired by bands such as Sheer Terror, Breakdown, Carnivore and Raw Deal, Blood For Blood formed as a reaction to the existing heavy music scene in Boston back in 1995. "We couldn't relate to anything that was going on in Boston at the time," says vocalist Erick Medina, "We wanted to hear music about the shit we saw and faced everyday. The scene at the time was a fashion show." Blood For Blood make no mistake about what their talents are - and what talents they lack. They don't sing. They don't rap. They don't dance. They don't act. And they definitely ain't too pretty. They are white trash hardcore rock and roll. And they have just begun their invasion of today's hair-and-nails conscious heavy music scene.
Blood For Blood have cultivated a large, and dangerously loyal, fanbase since their inception almost a decade ago. Having toured with such acts as DROPKICK MURPHYS, TERROR, and SICK OF IT ALL, exposing their venom to the nation, the band has left an indelible and hungry mark on the scene. The band has successfully put five recordings under the belt, with four of them having been released through VICTORY RECORDS and having had received countless praise in the press worldwide. Blood For Blood has always garnered real, genuine admiration among their fans as well - fans who have been known to willingly bruise, bleed, and become scarred for them at their notoriously 'high risk' live shows. With the momentum clearly in their favor, Blood For Blood are ready to throw their gloves in for one more round with their upcoming THORP RECORDS debut MCD.
Musically, few bands can touch the viscously aggressive hardcore/punk rock sound of Blood For Blood which is served up like a platter full of Sheer Terror, Madball, and The Bruisers.
Lyrically, Blood For Blood combines the depravity and pain of the world they see outside their door every day with the experiences of their own dead end lives in an outlaw-poetry style that truly affects its listeners in a deep way. "We get letters from dudes in prisons in New York, Boston, Detroit and even Alabama, telling us that our shit (music) gets them through and helps 'em face another day," says guitarist Rob Lind. Like Cash playing his outlaw songs to the inmates decades ago, today's redemption-seeking inmates are turning to the choruses of BLOOD FOR BLOOD for solace in hard times.
If you've plowed through all your dead ends and need to find friendship in a cold hard world...If loneliness and solitude is all you've know and you long to find family when you had none...If rock bottom has ever left you praying under cold street lights...If in your neighborhood, you've seen one too many stolen cars drive by, well, then it's time you raise your fist in the air and join in the outlaw anthems of Blood For Blood.

A great anime, that follows the line of a movie called Blood:The Last Vampire.
Under the care of her adoptive family, Saya Otonashi has been living the life of an anemic and amnesiac, but otherwise ordinary schoolgirl. Saya’s happy life is shattered when she is attacked by a chiropteran, and learns that she is the only one who can defeat them. ("Chiroptera" is the name of the order of biological classification that contains bats, probably the reason for the vampiric creatures being called "Chiropterans".)
Armed with her sword, Saya embarks on a journey with her family, allies and faithful servant, Haji, to rid the world of Chiropterans and rediscover her identity. The course of the journey reveals the background history of the chiropeterans and Saya's very deep past, which extends into the mid-19th century.
The series is initially set in present day (September 2005) Okinawa City (Koza), on Okinawa Island, near the US Kadena Air Base. In the course of the series, Saya visits locales across the world, while fighting enemy chiropterans and searching for her origins.
The anime consists of 50 episodes, and there is word that there will be a second season created in 2008.citation needed

The Bloods are a street gang founded in Los Angeles, California. The gang is widely known for its rivalry with the Crips. They are identified by the red worn by their members and by particular gang symbols, including distinctive hand signs. The Bloods are made up of various sub-groups known as "sets" between which significant differences exist such as colors, clothing, and operations, and political ideas which may be in open conflict with each other. Since their creation, the Blood gangs have branched out throughout the United States. Bloods have been documented in the US military, found in both US and overseas bases. The Bloods gang was formed initially to compete against the influence of the Crips in Los Angeles.
The origin of the Bloods and their rivalry with the Crips dates to the 1970s, where the Pirus street gang, originally a set, or faction, of the Crips broke off during an internal gang war, and allied with other smaller gangs to found the gang that would eventually become known as the Bloods. At the time, Crips sets outnumbered Bloods sets by three to one. To assert their power despite this difference in numbers, Bloods sets became increasingly violent, especially against rival Crips members. The Pirus are therefore considered to be the original founders of the Bloods. During the rise of crack cocaine, the gang's focus shifted to drug production. Bloods sets operate independently of each other, and are currently located in almost all States. Blood sets on the East Coast are often seen as affiliated with the United Blood Nation, a gang which originated in Rikers Island. Their gang activities include: Murder, Drug trafficking, Robbery, & Extortion. They are allies with the People Nation & Latin Kings. They're rivals are Crips, Folk Nation, Sureños.

During the Vietnam War the term "bloods" was used by both black and white American soldiers to denote black soldiers. It was not a derogative term, nor was it a derivative of the LA street gang and its subsets. White soldiers (occasionally called "rabbits") who were deemed worthy by black soldiers would share the term "blood" as synonymous with "brother." The term was most often found among American infantry units, where the infantrymen were called "grunts."
