that's it?????

i went to go see "no country for old men" not too long ago, and i have to say.... man that is good. really there isn't going to be much i can say to make you want to go see it, that hasn't been said already. just know that if you are a fan of the coen brothers and you don't go see this movie.... you are a jerk. i would have to say that javier bardem, is the best villian that you are likely to see in a film since, sergi lópez, in pan's labyrinth. and possibly until we see heath ledger as the joker. and at the end... if you get up and declare.... "that's it?" someone in the theatre that WAS paying attention should be legally allowed to punch you.... in the face.

javier bardem

We went to see it on opening weekend (I'm a big Coen Bros fan & the movie's based on a book by one of my favorite writers). When it ended, as the credits rolled, you could hear every woman in the theatre say in, one way or another, that she hated it. Heather hated it at first, but she's come around since we've talked about the ending and symbolism and meanings. Now she really likes it.
I personally think it was probably the perfect movie. And definitely the all time best book adaptation I've ever seen. Pretty much exactly what I pictured while reading it.
Javier Bardem was perfect. There was one scene with him that was missing, but hopefully its in a deleted scene or directors cut on dvd.
