I really liked the novel. From the trailer, the film seems to be one of those 'not as bad as it might have been' affairs that I increasingly think is the best anyone can hope for these days.

ugh. intense. seems to be a lot more of the "mom" role than there was in the book, but i'd do the same if charlize were playing mom.

Loved the book and I've been looking forward to the trailer. So far it looks pretty good--I hope they don't pull any punches.

I read that the mom is going to have a bigger role (which seems obvious from the trailer). Not too surprised there. I get the feeling that they might try to explain the catastrophe that has led to the demise of civilization. I hope not, although whenever I recommended the book to people their major complaint was not enough background info.

That's what I liked about the novel, the fact that it didn't get all tied up with details. It's the same with The Stand, you're given some information, but not so much for it to become that big a deal.

Cinema needs to give up on its current obsession with explaining everything.

I kept rewinding it and pausing it to see if that was a naked man or woman at 2:13.

It was a man.

Totally agree. Unfortunately there are way too many people out there that need their hands held through everything.

"The Road" has been finished for awhile and they bumped up the release date so that it could be a contender for academy awards (which I could care less about). It wouldn't surprise me if they try to pander to the masses by at leats alluding to some explanation for the fall of civilization.

As a side note I recently finished "Child of God" by Cormac MacCarthy. It was a hillbilly-necro freakout. Pretty quick read and good.

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.

Looks good. I've wanted to read the novel based on many recommendations, but the bad taste in my mouth from All The Pretty Horses hasn't gone away.

I've read

The Road
Child Of God
and
Outer Dark

all 3 kick ass.

child of god being my least favorite... though outer dark lags a bit in the middle, the ending is fantastic

i can't find blood meridian at the library and its not even in the database... I figure it may have been outlawed/excluded on purpose...

it is exceptionally graphic, is it not?

Yeah it's pretty graphic for sure. It's a demanding read. It's a bit hard to follow unless you give it your full attention.
