If you like this movie for the atmosphere then you may like The Leftovers, there is a lot of poo poo in the first season but the second is some of the best drama HBO has ever produced.

I'm not sure how much of a part he had in writing the second season.

Leftovers is the best show on tv right now imho, too bad next season is the last :(

Shortened 8 episode season, too. I'm fine with that, though, so long as it goes out with the same level of quality as Season 2 (and I really hope we get to see where everyone went, despite that not being the focus of the show and sort of :lost:-y)

I usually read Blood Meridian, No Country For Old Men, and The Road each every two years

They're very good, but very depressing

I'm not a huge fan of his other stuff

Guy Pearce cameo in The Road was great

You would need a master's touch for that. One of the things that got me when reading Blood Meridian was Cormac McCarthy doing the "artist break the rules" thing with run-on sentences, because one of the key scenes the filibuster ambush by the Comanches is essentially a one page run-on sentence. It shouldn't work, but it does and it slams that whole chaotic brutality right into you because you start it off looking at painted cows then suddenly it's an Indian ambush and people are going apeshit and fumbling for the guns and dying then the Comanches begin raping the dying. You're supposed to be taking that whole scene all at once, no breaks, no blinks, no cutaways. The closest I can think how to even do that cinematically would be as a single shot scene.


Let me tell you, vomit can smell like cheese pizza if you're not visual aware of it.

There is a lot if terrible stuff that happens in BM, however the part at the end with the bear has always stuck with me

That poor bear :(
