It’ll Do Till the Mess Gets Here

May 26th – May 31st

No Country for Old Men- I’m simply not getting tired of this one. Perhaps it’s too cold to be a movie that I adore. But, I really, really like it. The Coens have have put together a really solid movie. Roger Deakins’ camera is great. The cast is great. Javier Bardem is creepy-good (which made Vicki Cristina Barcelonaa little awkward at first…I half expected a Bardem, Rebecca Hall, and cattle gun ménage à trois). I’m still noticing new things in the film, which results in a constant redefining of what-it-all-means. Plus, I’m absolutely convinced that the sofa in Llewelyn Moss’s trailer is identical to one we had in my youth.

    Favorite line: “Llewelyn, what’s in the satchel?”

    Also, it took me awhile to figure out that she’s the same girl from Trainspotting. Danny Boyle actually discovered her for that movie way back when. She’s in Choke, too.

    Oh, you’re right. I didn’t pick up on that. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen Trainspotting. We’ve had it on our DVR for months now…but just haven’t gotten around to it. Haven’t seen Choke at all.
