Shapan 01-06-2008 09:52 AM

it was just very well done, there's very little detracting from it

Rockin' Cherub 01-06-2008 09:58 AM

everyone was jizzing all over juno so i saw it last night and thought it was forced and unrealistic.

I saw it at like 11:30 on a Wednesday morning and it was me and like 10 old people in the theater. When the credits rolled they were audibly bitching about it, it was funny.

Great movie.

Trotskilicious 01-06-2008 11:57 PM

there's no movie like no country

mxzombie 01-07-2008 12:03 AM

i liked it too, but the guy in front of me was being all bitchy on the way out because he didn't like the ending. but i liked the ending.

Trotskilicious 01-07-2008 12:05 AM

seems like most who disliked the movie was because the ending was strange and it didn't flat out explain everything about what happened to you

which is why i liked it.

Mablak 01-07-2008 12:09 AM

You really don't find many movies that make you think about underlying themes as you're watching, most other movies this year have seemed pretty brainless compared to No Country.

Trotskilicious 01-07-2008 12:11 AM

besides no country, what movies have you bothered to see Mablak

pale blue eyes 01-07-2008 12:13 AM

I just watched it and liked it a lot. At first the ending confused me though, I thought I had missed something obvious that explained it but the more I thought about it the more I liked how it ended. It somehow seemed to fit.

Mablak 01-07-2008 12:15 AM

This last summer I saw pretty much every movie in theaters with my neighbor, being bored out of my skull every night. I don't recall anything this year that compares to no country for old men.

Trotskilicious 01-07-2008 12:16 AM

so what was the sheriff's dream about guys

what was all that stuff about

celluloid_love 01-07-2008 12:57 AM

i hate how this movie's audience is like

people who loved it to death

and then people who didn't like it

and the people who loved it are smarter than the people who didn't like it, because obviously if you didn't like it, you didn't GET it.

yet i feel like i got it more than most people who liked it, i just didn't like it.

celluloid_love 01-07-2008 12:58 AM

and the coen brothers are my favourite film writers/directors

redbreegull 01-07-2008 01:27 AM

Amazing movie. I can't even remember the last time I saw a movie that had me literally on the edge of my seat like that.

Trotskilicious 01-07-2008 01:40 AM

well i don't want to be pretentious about it, i certainly didn't get everything about it but you know when every movie has the part where they explain what just happened it's nice to have a movie that doesn't

i liked it because the acting was great, the cinematography was great (roger deakins ftw), and it really had an awesome feel to it. coens always have this brilliant knack for regional flavor.

also lots of gunplay and one explosion. so i don't think i'm saying that if people didn't like the ending they didn't "get it" i just think they're being tools.

sickbadthing 01-07-2008 01:55 AM

it was stupid.

pitbulls can't swim.

I really didn't "get it" until I talked to Netphoria about it. I didn't fully understand what happened at the end. I still don't think I fully understood the movie... but I also sort of thought this is why it was good.

TuralyonW3 01-07-2008 02:18 AM

it's a masterpiece and if you don't like it you have horrible taste in movies.

^no irony

what did you dislike? pretty much everyone i know loved the movie, but the few people ive heard complain got a little ticked by the lack of closure in the ending, but that was because there was so much amazing buildup throughout the movie. i liked the ending and wouldn't change it, but i thoroughly enjoyed everything about the movie, the coen brothers just know how to tell stories.
