Llewelyn Moss in like the first scene goes and gets a nickle plated .45 cold/colt clone and just sticks it in the back of his pants and it is clear that he is not wearing a belt. The fact that his pants pull some plumber action and he can't even be bothered to wear a belt are triggering me.

How can I get over this feeling?

If you're gonna put a colt .45 in your butt you should wear a belt IMHO.

What is even more triggering, although probably smart since he didn't have a loving belt, is that he didn't charge it so he couldn't shoot his butt off.

I kinda wish they would do one for "Blood Meridian" but it would probably suck or be a failure. Little too dark maybe for a movie.

I also get a little chuckle when Woody H. tells the guy about how the building has an entire floor missing.

There was this boy I sent to the 'lectric chair at Huntsville here awhile back. My arrest and my testimony. He killt a 14 year-old girl. Papers said it was a 'crime of passion' but he told me there wasn't any passion to it. Told me that he'd been plannin' to kill somebody for about as long as he could remember. Said that if they turned him out, he'd do it again. Said he knew he was going to hell: 'Be there in about fifteen minutes.' I don't know what to make of that. I surely don't.

all of that means it's pronounced like "le-WELL-in" except for the first l and the second e. what you're gonna want to do for the first l is to put your tongue to the roof of your mouth, just behind your teeth, and blow. it should sound sort of like daffy duck if you're doing it right. for the second e, say the "a" in "cat" and then close your mouth slightly.

this http://www.yorku.ca/earmstro/ipa/ site can help you match the sounds. the first is in the consonant chart as one of the only two entries in the "lateral fricative" row. the second is in the vowel chart at the Open-Mid row, in the Front column.

I have distant relatives who had Llewellyn for a surname. How'd that happen? Despite all the old jokes about every welsh person being named Johnathon Johnathan or whatever, it seems rare in the states.

Probably

1. Distant relative named Llewllyn
2. His son was Fuckhead ap Llewllyn, meaning Fuckead son of Llewllyn
3. His son is Dumbshit ap Llewllyn because Llewllyn was a better man than Fuckhead, or Fuckhead was overcome with filial piety
4. This repeats for a bit and they drop the "ap" along the way
5. They immigrate to the states and then you're born

IIRC, they've been trying to make a Blood Meridian movie since the mid 90's but it keeps stalling because it *is* too dark, no matter how you try to rearrange the subject matter. The last person to attempt an adaptation was James Franco of all people so... I guess be glad we're not getting the stoner version.

Best quote about the attempts, though, is from the man himself:

Wikipedia posted:

In an interview with Cormac McCarthy by The Wall Street Journal in 2009, McCarthy denied this notion, with his perspective being that it would be "very difficult to do and would require someone with a bountiful imagination and a lot of balls. But the payoff could be extraordinary."

"If the rule you followed brought you to this, of what use was the rule?"

memorize this line and then drop it into every conversation you have with anyone ever.

like if they tell you their after-work plans or if they tell you about the vacation they're gonna take. just drop it on them like you're dropping that deadlift bar.

generally speaking they'll just stare at you like wtf and then you smile like this:

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack
