yep, i watched it twice this weekend, and spent 30 minutes this morning talking about it in the office.
Question- what's the difference in a half wild cat and one that's just an outlaw? So many good lines in that movie
another one- " said he knew he was going to Hell- be there in 'bout 15 minutes

I haven't seen it or read the novel; however, if that book is 1/2 as good as The Road (same author, Cormac McCarthy) it's probably a good novel.
I think they're making The Road into a movie too. Great book, but incredibly depressing - but in a morbidly fascinating way. I wasn't able to put it down.
Chigurh got the money, we are led to believe, by Sheriff Bell seeing the duct cover removed in the room
I loved the end of No Country...it stayed with the theme of the movie, IMO. Fate is strange.

if you watch the special features, the Coens talk about how the book read like a treatment for a screenplay. Basically, it was begging to be made into a movie.
Just one question, Dean: Is it worth the money to get the DVD?

I think so, and I'm not a big DVD buyer. I watched it all the way through twice in one weekend, and I could see wanting to see it again, after reading the book

Yes.
The difference between the characters he's played in the past as the hunter who would doggedly pursue someone with a vengeance and this role really helped to drive home the message of the movie. I can't think of another actor who would have had anywhere near the same effect on the character.
I was disappointed in the way the movie ended at first, but it couldn't have ended any other way and had the same effect. I'm positive the frustration it left the viewer with was intentional. The more time passes after seeing the movie the more it leaves you wondering what you would do in his shoes. Not many films send you out of the theater that way.

i thought the casting all around was brilliant- I can't imagine another soul playing any of the three main characters (or woody's character for that matter) and that's unusual( for me at least)

whattya want- everybody but Chigurh and Bell are dead . And Bell's retired. The message- evil wins this time( in this life at least)
Pit Row
Oh and there ain't no soundtrack.
"Are you going to shoot me?"
"Did you see me?"

It was in the can before the Soprano's episode ever aired.
Like I said "No closure"!
who's the good guy? you mean Lywellen, the guy who stole the 2.0 million, well he died when fate caught up to him.
the wife's dead- see Chigurh checking his boots(for blood, presumably) when he left?
you have to pay attention- it's advanced viewing

My phone started blowing up twords the end of the movie, I am going to shut the phone off and watch it again tonight. Good flick, I just got lost watching it and talking on the phone.

be sure to watch hard when Tommy Lee Jones enters the motel room at the end
I missed something big the first time I watched it
Anton Chigurh: You need to call it. I can't call it for you. It wouldn't be fair.
Gas Station Proprietor: I didn't put nothin' up.
Anton Chigurh: Yes, you did. You've been putting it up your whole life you just didn't know it. You know what date is on this coin?
Gas Station Proprietor: No.
Anton Chigurh: 1958. It's been traveling twenty-two years to get here. And now it's here. And it's either heads or tails. And you have to say. Call it.
Gas Station Proprietor: Look, I need to know what I stand to win.
Anton Chigurh: Everything.
Gas Station Proprietor: How's that?
Anton Chigurh: You stand to win everything. Call it.
Gas Station Proprietor: Alright. Heads then.
[Chigurh removes his hand, revealing the coin is indeed heads]
Anton Chigurh: Well done.
[color=#0000FF:14lzrgn4] The "good guy" was lying dead on the hotel room floor when Tommy Lee Jones got there after seeing the Mexican dudes hauling ass form the parking lot. I missed it the first time, too, because of the camera angle. Check the shirt. Yeah, he shot the wife too. At least you assume he did by him checking the bottom of his boots for blood. Maybe I'll watch it again too, because to me it was like Pulp Fiction too, which I didn't "get" (same with American Beauty). I don't get all the hype behind it...//TJ
PS - I didn't get "Shoot Em Up", either. In fact, the wife & I turned it off after about 30 minutes, which I haven't done in many years. The acting was the worst I think I've ever seen...//TJ[/color:14lzrgn4]
In the book there is more dialog with the woman and Anton before he kills her. But he does kill her and his explanation is evident--he made her husband a promise and he didn't live up to it. I love the fact he was a man of his word. All he asked Leellwn to do was live up to his side and his wife would be safe.
Carson Wells: No no. No. You don't understand. You can't make a deal with him. Even if you gave him the money he'd still kill you. He's a peculiar man. You could even say that he has principles. Principles that transcend money or drugs or anything like that. He's not like you. He's not even like me.
i took it as he won keeping his life.
