No Country for Old Men

[JPalmer]

No Major Spoilers Please

How many of us has seen this film yet?

If you haven't... do yourself a freaking service and go. I'm a HUUUGE Coen Brothers fan (Raising Arizona, O' Brother Where Art Thou, Fargo) and was impressed a great deal even by Coen Brothers standards.

It's going to win a few of the major Oscar Awards.

The wife and I went and saw it at the theater when it was first released last year. Most of this film was filmed in west Texas so it was neat to see familiar land marks in the film.

I wont say it was the greatest movie I have ever seen, but it was pretty good. the vilian is creapy and does a nice job at being a bad guy.

one of my favorite lines from the move is

"most of them are wild, and the rest are outlaws"

it has nothing to do with the bad guys in the movie, its just a little comic releif, when you see it you will understand.

I looooooved this movie. I've highly recommended it to just about anyone that I talk to about it. The dialogue is very well written too.

I was considering seeing it in the theater, but all of the reviews I read said the movie was great up until like the last 20 minutes or so and then it took a complete turn. I may rent it through time-warner sometime.

Saw it. Liked it. Interesting trivia: The Coen brothers first movie, Blood Simple (See it!), was set in Texas also.

Did anyone looke up the county where Tommy Lee Jones was Sherrif? 2006 population: < 1,000. That shouldn't come as any surprise based on the scenery.

I don't think it was the greatest movie ever but, from what I have seen this year it's on the top 7.

no country isn't as much a product of the genious of the coen brothers as it is the genious of cormac mccarthy. they were lucky enough to get to produce it because mccarthy knew they'd be faithful to the book, and they were. if anything, the book is more chilling, and "the twist" is just standard mccarthy fare. his stories are real, and that means there is often no happy ending and no resolution. his goal isn't to make you feel all warm and fuzzy with heroics and humanity. if anyone will make it, "the road", which he wrote after "no country for old men" will be a gnarly, gnarly film!

The wife and I saw it.
Big fan of Tommy Lee Jones but not impressed with this movie at all.
