No Country for Old Men

Go...

Go now!


This movie is at times one of the most intense movies you'll see, and at others, one of the smartest.


WATCH IT NOW!

Propaganda? psh...

I seriously wish I had this movie in my dvd player, because after I saw it, I wanted to watch it again.

I'll wait until I can rent it. Even if it wasn't propaganda I seldom go see drama's at the theater, I mainly go to the theater for the movies that benefit greatly from the big screen, like action movies.

What?

Who told you this was a drama? This IS an action flick! Not one with gunz a blazing, but definitely one that involves a lot of action/suspense.

TRUST ME. You won't be disappointed.

Hmmm, well what I mean is movies with alot of "Flash" and special effects is what I usually see in theaters. Movies with suspense, drama, or more story or character centered I watch at home because I enjoy them more (I do not like theaters lol).

Me too. I honestly hate movie theaters. While watching a DVD, I like to get drunk and unfortunately, most movie theaters won't let me do that....knowingly.

But the love I have for the Coen brothers, as well as, my reaction after reading this quote from Rolling Stone made me want to see this movie....bad.

The Coens squeeze us without mercy in a vise of tension and suspense, but only to force us to look into an abyss of our own making.

I didn't know anything about the film so I went and watched the trailer. Yeah, looks intense. I'm interested in it, too bad the wifey wouldn't. I'll either have to find a friend willing to see it or wait for DVD.

Why do you call it propaganda, GP? I was thinking it was going to be some social statement film because of your comment. Do you know something that isn't apparent in the trailer?

I just rewatched the trailer to refresh my mind on what y'all are talking about; I would definitely go watch this movie...and Revolver too, but that's not out for a while I think.

You guys who have seen it, help me understand the plot. What was the bad guy's connection to the drug deal?

Also, what happened in Tommy Lee Jones' character's dream? I zoned out at the end.

Ratatouille was a great movie, I hope it is in the running for movie of the year.

It's not; but it will most certainly win best animated film.

Ratatouille is incredibly awesome.. The last 15 minutes or so are too amazing for words.

Rat-Patooty!

Yeah, I loved Ratatouille.

This, I'm hesitant to see.  My roommate went to see it tonight.  He's a big Cohen Bros. fan.  My response is always "Who?"  Personally, I'm not too fond of the genre.

Chigurh (Javier Bardem) was hired by the rich guy in the office (Stephen Root) to get the money back. The rich guy also hired Woody Harrelson and the two well dressed men that Chigurh killed early in the film. Chigurh objected to "rich guy" hiring three different "cleaner uppers" to get the job done, when Chigurh believed that he alone was worthy of the job. So that's why he killed all of the cleaner uppers, and rich guy.

The full text of Tommy Lee Jones dream (as well as an excellent analysis of what makes this a great film) is available at Jim Emerson's Scanners blog.

No, I haven't; though I want to. The only other Coens brother's movie I have seen is "The Big Lebowski", but who hasn't see that?

No Country for Old Men is fantastic.  Everyone should see it.  Based on my initial impressions, it's right up there with Fargo and maybe even Miller's Crossing.
