I was going to make the same point. Because its budgets are now so high, Hollywood is forced to pander to a kind of mass thinking that seems increasingly devoid of intelligence. It really is beyond a joke at the moment.
I loved The Road but was put off trying any of McCarthy's other books after reading 'No Country for Old Men', which I really didn't like at all. 'Child of God' sounds far more interesting though. I'll give it a go.
