Ah, Armen left a trailer for 'No Country for Old Men.' It is finally the year for Cormac McCarthy. I am comfortable saying this is one guy who is welcome to my 5th hole. He spent 20 years writing books that were critically acclaimed (i.e. no one read them but holy crap were they awesome). Last year he writes 'The Road' which might just be the bleakest (is that the correct use of bleak?) novel ever to win the Pulitzer.
It's also one of the greatest books of all time. It addresses the importance of fatherhood and how the roles as a parent change if the world no longer makes sense (the novel is post-apocalypse in setting, but it's a nice metaphor for the world we live in today). He finally gets commercial success and sells tons o' books right about the time the Coen brothers need to redeem themselves. And lookie here, they found one of his best works to do it with.
With the films of ‘No Country for Old Men’ and ’30 Days of Night’ coming out I might almost be able to cope with the immense rage that rises every time I see the trailer for ‘I Am Legend.’
Almost.
