'blood meridian' is probably my favorite book ever. and, somehow, they're MAKING A MOVIE OF IT. not sure how i feel about that. in that book, there's enough blood to fill the caspian sea and enough male nudity to shame the ancient greeks. how is hollywood going to adapt that? the director is todd field, and i've never seen any of his movies, so i don't know what to think
also, i find chuck palahniuk boring. there, i said it
mel: don't. you're young yet, don't throw your life away like that.
rct: i wasn't sure how the fuck they were going to deal with no country for old men, and i thought that was great. i remain apprehensive about blood meridian though. i like mccarthy's stuff for the writing, language use, tone, etc, as much as the story, and a lot of that gets lost in a movie. i'm still a fan of palahniuk though. choke and fight club are two of my favorite books, and his other ones are still pretty good. if haunted was a little more focused, i'd throw that one in my top 10.
