I've been chipping away at Blood Meridian over the past couple of months. I always want to chug a glass of water and take a shower after every couple of chapters. I'm not super familiar with Wild West/ desert vocabulary, so I'm doing a lot of googling lol Aliensandwich fucked around with this message at 02:57 on Mar 3, 2024 |

Bottom Liner posted:really curious how that film is going to turn out and what they do with the character of The Kid Yeah, same tbh. It's gotta be a tricky movie to make structure-wise, considering how dense the story is, let alone the subject matter. Dennis D'onofrio as Judge Holden is a solid choice tho

Bottom Liner posted:Really wander how much of a participant they'll make him vs observer, since so much of the book leaves that unsaid, and that makes for a vastly different story based on interpretation. That's very true. His presence is pretty vague at times, especially during attacks led by Glanton. He does do a lot of cruel/ brutal things explicitly, like the flashback of him teaching the gang to make gunpowder out in the wild, which ended up being an insidious calculated slaughter. I feel like a miniseries could do the story justice due to its density
