I saw it last night with a friend not knowing what to expect much and it was quite good. It's by the coen brothers which made some movies before and stuff and this one has been getting good reviews. The movie was quite interesting but the ending sucked pretty bad. I recommend you see it.

I heard, heard being the operative word, that it's one of the best movies this year.

Being the most polished turd in the toilet still leaves you a turd.

The ending of the book was pretty sucky too so at least they stayed faithful. I really can't wait to see this. The Coen Bros. and Cormac McCarthy combined! Fucking awesome. The Coen Brothers are incredible... Fargo, Lebowski, Miller's Crossing, Raising Arizona. I loved the book except for the strange ending, I only wish they had decided to tackle Blood Meridian instead but this story may be more up their alley.
THE END

Reminds me of the Anachronox review at OMM

That's because you live in Australia and were probably proccupied with thinking "What's all that white stuff on the ground?"

But yeah, I need to see No Country for Old Men, looks fantastic.

Yikes.. thats a strong emotion for such a movie. I found it to be a fun and interesting movie. Please explain Dreadnought.

Yeah, I never much trusted emotion in place of critical analysis. Fargo wasn't my favorite Coen Brothers film, not even in my top ten favorites of their work, but I certainly don't hate the fucker.

The book's not Cormac's best, but I suppose that I'll have to watch the movie :3

When I watched it I was really angry and stressed out and I didn't pay much attention so the whole thing seemed like nothing is happening, only lot's of ugly people saying YA constantly.

I can't remember anything from the movie. Just some corpse, a parking lot, some people shooting, a car dealer?, some people doing shit....... SHIT SHIT SHIT!

I enjoyed Fargo immensely. Predominantly for the hilarious employment of the mulcher. Would be lie most casual to claim recollections of anything less vague.

Mulcher? Damn, I must have really REALLY ignored the movie while 'watching' it.

My parents are from Fargo.

I've been there.

They have an airport, and electricity, and stuff.

Don'tcha know.

I liked Fargo, although I can't really explain why.

rented NC4OM last night - excellent director work / excellent story / no fairytale ending = pretty decent flick.
