Have you seen the movie No Country for Old Men?

Nyles 04-13-2010 02:45 AM

I have, and I think it's one of the best adaptations of a book to movie I've seen. Kind of curious to see the Blood Meridian movie though, I don't see how they could possibly film it.

At least in the movie you can tell which character is speaking and what is going on

They'll have to cut out some of the violence, like the transistion of how Sproule's arm infection gets from bad to worse. If they did made a movie of it, I'd like to see John Goodman to play The Judge and possibly Viggo Mortensen to play John Joel Glanton.

Accurate Schmaccurate. You still make the most inaccurate movie in the world, and it can be made fun of on Mystery Science Theater 3000.:D

Who here has read The Catcher In the Rye?
