No Country For Old Men



I was real excited to learn that the Coen brothers have made a film version of Cormac MacCarthy's No Country For Old Men.

You can watch the trailer here.

Tommy Lee Jones will no doubt have the best self-deprecating one-liners.



The Coen brothers' sly humour will serve the dark novel well I'm sure.

I'll look forward to this. Tommy Lee Jones is a great choice, and the Coen brothers are always interesting. I have mixed feelings about the book itself, however...

I have similar feelings about the book, but it was a very filmic text. It's made for a movie adaptation. And I think the Coens will bring the humour that the book lacked.
