Lol, you're right, I didn't zoom in. I thought the guy in the middle was Glanton (figuring Glanton and the Judge would be standing together), but he has the forehead tattoos. That's toadvine.

I think a BM movie would be mediocre because the thing that makes the book magic isn’t the plot, it’s the prose.

:hmmyes: The only way the prose would translate to the screen would be through one hell of a cinematographer. Roger Deakins could probably pull it off (or the guy who did Valhalla Rising, which has that same BM "violence as the story of man" theme)

I once made the heinous mistake of tripping balls and watching Valhalla Rising. I may have to repeat that mistake.

also lolling at imagining a Refn adaptation of BM. i assume Eason means cinematography, what with nature and such, im just loving my brain giving me visuals of the judge pissing in neon colors and deep house like a balenciaga ai meme

lol. yeah the cinematography for sure, but BM and VR share a lot of themes (the inhumane but human love of violence and conquest; the erosion of the band's/the gang's sense of self by both themselves and the land they're trying to dominate; the sublimation, though different in context, of the boy/the kid to One-Eye/the Judge) and VR did a pretty great job of capturing my sense of the BM vibe. Refn wouldn't have been a bad pick at all to direct, but Hillcoat didn't do too bad with The Road.

Ah man this one hurts. I remember picking up blood meridian one day on a lark at a bookstore and getting utterly entranced by the writing. His work (and Stephen King's) were major influences on the stuff I wrote back then and were directly responsible for a positive direction my life ended up going.

To paraphrase that line from Westworld: He didn't die, he just became literature.
