No country for old men
« on: January 25, 2008, 01:06:32 AM »
Has anyone else seen this movie?  I have to say it's one of the better movies I've seen in a long time, the story doesn't play out the way you'd think it would, very original in this aspect, definitely the best movie of 07.

Sounds like it had lots of potential, but the Cohen brothers ran out of steam (or over revved depending on your interpretation).
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.

I do, I really do

But after all these lame films, I am all in favor of a good ole shoot em up.

Heck, maybe they'll even revive ole Robocop and compete for the highest body count.  Ah the good ole days!

shoot em up was a mess on so many levels but.. It was fun to watch..  It even had a democrat as a (gasp) bad guy... course sucking the marrow out of babies was not why they thought he was a bad guy,,,,

It also had the silliest gun myth I have seen on film.. that if a gun gets wet it won't shoot.  and.. to make it even worse.. once you dry it out.. it will shoot.

Oh.. and the thing about the guy being some super shooter from...  wait for it... england!
