Looks like there’s some forward momentum on the Hillcoat Blood Meridian project.

Maybe now people will stop making endless internet threads to speculate on who would be the best person to play The Judge.

Anyway. I love The Proposition but I just don't think this movie should ever be made. Leave it be.

Yeah. It's just a better book than a film and an adaptation would require so much editing that it would be something different.

I mean unless they went full Killers and made 3 and a half hours.

If anything I feel like All The Pretty Horses is due for another attempt. That seems like a slam dunk but what do I know?

They don't even have to do any work. Just release the Billy Bob cut with the original music.

Finally reading The Crossing.

Have you always been crazy?
I don't know. I never was much put to the test before today.
Hoe old are you?
Sixteen.
Sixteen.
Yessir.
Well you ain't got the sense God gave a goose. Did you know that?
You may be right
How do you expect your horse to tolerate bunch of nonsense such as this.

Having read the Border trilogy I really wonder whst McCarthy's deal with Mexico and Mexicans was. Like according to his books Mexico's population consists of 99,99% villains and 0,01% hot women that wants to gently caress John Grady Cole.

Uhhhh maybe you should read the books again. Every time one of the characters stops in a town someone is there to give them a plate of beans and tortillas, and another person is there to give them the lecture of a lifetime

I think there’s an essay to be written somewhere about our boy Cormac’s relationship to cafes. Our detached masculine characters off in the wilderness always seem to find one.

All these cowboys are drinking coffee at night I don't understand how they sleep.

This isn't a bit I literally don't understand.

Long days, lots of physical activity, relatively weak coffee. It’s really hard to overstate how much stronger we brew our coffee then they did before European brewing methods started popping up in the 70s/80s
