• "I see dead people."
• "You can't handle the truth!"
• "Vote for Pedro."
• "Show me the money!"
These are movie quotes. Real movie quotes. The kind of lines that ride the zeitgeist to the point where your grandmother is on the phone giggling that she found a motherf--king snake in the motherf--king yard.
This last year was, let's be honest, limp in the catchphrase department. And the proof is in a rash of recent articles—first USA Today and then Entertainment Weekly—wherein media professionals declare the quote of the year to be..."I drink your milkshake."
What's that? You've never heard anybody say that?
You don't even know what it's from? It's a line uttered, with intense and earnest malice, by Daniel Day-Lewis in There Will Be Blood. (See clip below.) Right, because you didn't see that and because nobody actually says, "I drink your milkshake."
This is total bunk.
E.T. is so not phoning home to anyone and yelling "I drink your milkshake!" So, let's try to fix things in the Comments. Am I wrong? Is "milkshake" really on the rise? Or are there any quotes from 2007 movies that did get you running your mouth?
