2009, LOOKING FORWARD: The Movies

Jan 01, 2009 14:29

I fully realize that it's somewhat hypocritical for me to first note my feelings about the changing of the calendar year and how it doesn't really feel like an "ending/beginning" to me, then write a series of posts of various things I'm looking forward to in 2009. But hey, I'm writing a freaking blog here, not running for public office ( Read more... )

2009, movies, pop culture

I have to say The Road might be one of the best novels ever written, but I liked the optimism of the Pesthouse much more.

I still need to read both. I almost bought The Road at Price Chopper today, but seriously, I have so many books I need to get through...

The Road - Coen Bros?!?!?! anonymous January 2 2009, 08:03:22 UTC

FORTUNATELY The Road doesn't have the Coens attached to it! The only thing that could be worse is if David Lynch or Uwe Boll were chosen to direct.

The Proposition (Hillcoat) was a stellar piece of film-making. Granted, he hasn't done much other than that. But for The Road to have even a HINT of Raising Arizona or Fargo and I would have to hunt down Cormac myself and give him a stern talking to! As if you can't tell, I wasn't a fan of "No Country" the film. The book...that's a different matter.
