I saw No Country For Old Men the other night... pretty damn good. Certainly as bleak and funny as Fargo. But the similarity that struck me most was the setting.... No Country was set in this stark Texas desert, Fargo in the barren snow covered town. In both it seems human morality is laid out on the landscape with nothing to obstruct our view. That's as far as I go with profundity, so additionally... the bad guy was wicked awesum!
The Coen brothers are shaping up to be my favorite movie makers ever.

haha...that's cool where'd you see it? i thought it looked pretty good from the trailer but it's been one of those slow "now playing in limited release, opens everywhere on some other day" kind of deals so i didn't know it was here...unless it's just at the westhampton right now?
can't say i've seen too much of their stuff...i was too young to understand raising arizona when i saw it and aside from that i think the only thing i've seen completely was fargo, the man who wasn't there, and blood simple. there's definitely always something unique about each and every one of their movies which makes them something to see. kinda like with the stuff charlie kauffman (the guy who wrote being john malkovitch, adaptation, and eternal sunshine of the spotless mind) writes. you're just not going to see that stuff come from anybody else.
i'll have to check it out.

this reminded me that i'd always meant to return to this after everyone had some time to post so that i could deliver the mother of all bad nicolas cage pics... not this one...although whoever thought superman should be played by nicolas cage is kinda fired in my book. and if it was nicolas cage trying to put his name out there...i mean i get it...i always wanted to be batman, but you know what? he's a big dude...and i'm not...so you gotta let some dreams go, buddy. but really...this is the one which immediately pooped out at me and i am surprised no one else went for it? i mean...this is like playing scattergories with the letter Z and trying to come up with names of zoo animals...this my friends, is the motherfarking zebra:

No Country For Old Men was pretty great..... It was a little strange for sure... just interesting how they describe the bad guy (who had a bad haircut) both in the movies and all of the reviews as being pure evil, this awful heartless guy, .... and yet he is sort of a character that represents fate.
The end is crazy too....

Reviving a classic thread.
Mostly because the Nick Cage bit was hilarious, but also because I wanted to share another Best Western I saw recently.
It was called Appaloosa. Ed Harris and Aragorn. This one takes the contemporary western crown in my book. It was more in line with the old 60s westerns, low on action, but full on narrative and atmosphere. I would recommend it.
You can't go wrong with Jeremy Irons as a bad guy, either. Right?
