Have you read the book?  I really liked the book, except for the final climactic battle between Moss and Sugar(Can't spell the name).  I really want to see what the Coen brothers did with it, the trailer looks great, Javier Bardon seems to have really gotten Sugar's character down, I'm excited, but will wait til the end of the semester to see it.

Chigurh, I think? I haven't read the book - I'm working my way through Blood Meridian whenever I have time, and I still need to read Child Of God which I got from the library.

I don't think this opens in Australia until January, which is pretty crappy. You'd hope there'd be enough interest here for it to open a bit sooner.

Are you sitting or lying down or anything, and do you have access to the internet?

Good.

Find out right now if there is a theatre playing this movie near you.

Have you done that yet? You have?

Are you still in front of the computer?

Hooray for necrophilia!!

McCarthy is a brilliant writer. Blood Meridian is scarily good. No Country for Old Men is really his weakest book, which is a shame, but from what I've heard, the Cohen's translation may be their best film. I find myself wondering if it's really better than Barton Fink or Miller's Crossing but I have very high hopes. Even if it's not I'm sure it's a brilliant film. Why the fuck am I stuck in the middle of god damn nowhere New York state?!?!? I won't be able to see this until late December when I go home and that makes me sad.

Word.

I've read some backhanded reviews, but those reviewers seemed to either not like the Coens or not have good taste (or in most cases, both) I'm going to see it just for Javier Bardem. He's scary good scary, or so they say.

my favorite movie of the year so far. NCfOM is well put together, well acted and very well presented. i suggest anyone and everyone see it.


if you live somewhere where it isn't released yet, http://www.projectfreetv.co.uk/divx.php?id=1883014 is the full movie streaming. (quality is probably a little lacking.)

I just saw it and words cannot describe how good it was. Johnny's right, I honestly can't imagine a better movie coming out this year. The acting was truly excellent for all the main characters, the script was great (can't really expect anything else from a Coen Brothers movie though), it was tense, violent, beautifully shot and the pacing was pretty much perfect. I'm not sure if this is the best Coen Brothers film but it's in the top 4 to be sure (Miller's Crossing, Barton Fink and Fargo are the other three on that list) and it may just best those three. I have to see it again to be sure. Still, it's far and away the best movie I've seen in recent memory and I can't imagine anything replacing it anytime soon (especially not "There Will be Blood" even if that does look like it's going to be pretty good).

I really like it when a character is strong enough that it doesn't really matter who the hell they are.  That's what Anton Chigurh is like; very little background is presented about him, but his presence and actions are just so intense you kind of forget that he's practically without identity.
Another point I was impressed with was the series of landscape shots and accompanying voice-over at the beginning.  It's really hard to make a voice-over without succumbing to stupid, but this one (as everything moment in a film should) furthered the effect of the movie as a whole. For the most part, I agree with those who praise it lavishly.

I'm seeing it, like tomorrow.   Rotten Tomatoes is great - a whole scad of reviews from all over the spectrum, you find reviewers that love it, hate it, and everything between.

And Rotten Tomatoes gave it 96%! which is an almost unheard-of top rating!

I liked this movie up until the last 20 minutes or so of it, where everything was thrown out the window along with story anything that even slightly resembled sense.

I genuinely don't know what plot detail you're missing in the last twenty minutes. Thematically it might be tough to follow but the events themselves are fairly clear.

I am just the opposite. The first bit of the movie with the voice overs and long shots with no action/dialogue were absolutely horrid. I was practically falling asleep, cursing all of you people that made it sound good. Then shit started to actually happen, and I was fine.

Overall I didn't find it as amazing as I was expecting to, after reading what everyone thought of it, but I'm guessing that's because I was pretty much expecting the greatest movie of all time by the hype it had been getting. But it was still pretty darn good, so no worries.

How can you not enjoy that gorgeous Texas landscape? When that cloud moves over the elk herd, man, that almost makes me want to visit. And the movie I saw began with a vicious strangling.

But I do agree with you that the hype was pretty ridiculous. It ended up being a lot more subdued than I thought it would be. But Javier Bardem was just as good (and terrifying) as everyone said he would be. He'd make the movie if the rest of it wasn't as good as it was.

I personally thought the last 20 minutes were fantastic. I loved how

SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER
n the end, Moss is dead from random violence and Chigur has escaped. The final scene is really excellent and reminded me in some ways of the end of Barton Fink (albeit with even less closure).
END SPOILER, END SPOILER, END SPOILER

I can understand how people would be unsatisfied with the ending but it does remain faithful to the book and while it isn't really a traditional ending its message is clear and, while not very gratifying, is still extremely well conveyed in both the book and the movie.

Definitely. I can see where people are coming from complaining about the ending...but I think they're wrong XP. I thought it was a really good ending, and very consistent with the spirit of the rest of the movie.

I loved the lack of music. The fact that the movie was incredibly tense without relying upon music to establish atmosphere is a testament to the Coens' and Deakins' talent I think.

I saw it again yesterday. It definitely didn't seem as humorless as it did the first time around.  The lack of music was definitely a style point, heightened your awareness of little details in the movie and in general gave it more punch. The movie is also really good when it conveys all sorts of information without dialogue. It's like a big hunk of emotion that you sort of have to digest yourself.

That's kind of how the movie feels: Javier Bardem with his weird haircut walks up to you and punches you in the face a bunch of times until your nose breaks, then you fall back and he just stands over you glowering with those giant eyes, eyes surrounded by rings that make it look like he hasn't slept the whole span of the movie, and you're totally bewildered and unsure of what to do, until he just sorta walks away and you're still on the ground with a face covered in blood, reeling. Then you wake up.

I saw it with my son the movie kid, and we both loved it and want to see it again, but we have a weird disagreement:

SPOILER - SPOILER - SPOILER - SPOILER - SPOILER

SPOILER - SPOILER - SPOILER - SPOILER - SPOILER

ok, don't read this if you haven't seen it!

When the sheriff goes back *alone* to the motel crime scene, and actually enters the room, don't we see Chigurh hiding in a closet? So he's actually got the lethal killing machine bad guy cornered! ...but then he lets him go...?!? If I have that right, then that's a major moment: the sheriff either knows or suspects that Chigurh is still there (came back after everyone left, to find the money stuffed in whatever air vent) but he also knows that he's outmatched, that trying to capture this particular bad guy, he can't do it, he'd die and Chigurh would get away anyway....  MAJOR realization, for him and us - the good guy can't always win...

I don't think he knows he's there. He's behind the door and I think Chigurh slips out while Bell looks in the bathroom. It's a pretty confusing scene though, with a lot of possibilities, but I think him hiding behind the door and slipping out is the most likely.

Quote from: AV Club
The Coen Brothers had pretty decent luck adapting Pulitzer Prize winner Cormac McCarthy for No Country For Old Men, so why not take on another high-falutin' writin' person? The dynamic duo has signed on to do a film version of Michael Chabon's bestselling The Yiddish Policeman's Union. In the book Chabon sets up a contemporary scenario where Jewish settlers are about to be displaced by U.S. government's plans to turn the frozen locale of Sitka, Alaska, over to Alaskan natives. Against this backdrop is a noir-style murder mystery in which a rogue cop investigates the killing of a heroin-addicted chess prodigy who might be the messiah. The Coens will make Yiddish after they shoot their next project, A Serious Man. Yet another Coen Brothers film, Burn After Reading, will come out later this year.
Yesss. I loved the book, and it's pretty straight noir, which is just up the Coens alley. I wonder who they'll be casting.

I'd say it's not as good as Fargo, Barton Fink or Miller's Crossing but better than the rest. What five are you referring to?

I don't think I will ever be able to fully appreciate Fargo as every time I try to watch it I just get caught up in the horrible accents. If they would have spoken like people in this area actually do, I would be able to watch the movie without constantly cringing.

I didn't sleep well for a week after watching this movie. Cloverfield, on the other hand, sent me straight to the land of Nod.
