the creepiest haircut ever
Damn watching Jaws.
turn over.
The scene in the garage shop - one of my favourite film scenes ever...
Call it
🙂
The bloke didn't know how close he came.
I like the way Chigurh half-chokes when the guy claims he married into the business - about the only emotion he shows in the entire film.
Priceless.
I watched this for the first time a couple of weeks ago.
It's one of those really bloody annoying films that has you thinking "this is awesome, but I can't see how they're ever going to resolve it" and then the credits roll. Films that do that should have an announcement at the start, "warning, we couldn't be buggered to shoot an ending for this film, so it just stops."
Cougar + 10 bazillion
In your opinion, what needed to be resolved in particular...?

The book ends that way too. If you think about it it does actually make sense.
Cougar, it's a brilliant ending, it mirrors the book very closely, the Coens did a fine job. Remember he's still out there with his cattle stun gun...
Not one of CM's best books (though still very good), but a great film - the Coen Bros certainly do justice to his writing.
read the book? ending is slightly different, I love both, tommy lees narration at the begining explains it better
and to be honest its about the journey not the destination in this film, certainly true for a lot of the macarthy books ive read
To be fair many of McCarthy's books do have quite powerful endings e.g. The Outer Dark, The Road, Blood Meridian.
This one is a bit more cerebral.
First time I watched it I was disappointed at the ending, watched it again and realised it was pure genius. One of my favourite films.
Some of the black humour in the script is astounding.
The Overmatched scene with Ellis is beyond praise, just brilliant.
The crapest finish to a film I have seen for ages. You don’t even see one of the main characters been killed, or the moments that lead up to his killing... Very poor finale to the film...

Who...?

Why does a film have to have a definitive conclusion?
Also, do any women like the film? Amongst my friends, it's a straight gender split.
The only thing that annoys me slightly is that Chigurh is able to track down the money so easily - that blinking box!
There's more to it than that, though, isn't there. He has good instincts and is obviously able to put himself in his prey's shoes. Ultimately, it's what he does and he does it well.
As he says himself [i]"You choose the one right tool..."[/i] or something like that.
my missus loved it too
the ending is about tommy lee's narration more than concluding the action

You must be really furious that Woody Harrelson found him in only 3 hours with no blinking box.

+1
Apart from I didn't think it was that awesome up until then either. The main bad guy is incredibly cartoony and unconvincing.
I normally love Coen Brothers films too. At least the cinematography was nice I suppose.
Seems like one of those films where people enjoy congratulating themselves for how clever they are for appreciating it.

What a strange addition to your post. I can only assume you enjoy trying to belittle anyone that doesn't have the same tastes as you.
