Is on Outdoor Ch. Supposed to be good. Its freaking stupid as crap.
Getting old. Cant hear WTH bad guy is saying to gas station old man.
I have no trouble hearing every freaking word in every freaking pos commercial.
They dont try to act malevolent and spooky in them.
Movie pukes cant figure out if old men could hear their BS more people would see their movies.
This show is stupid.
That was my first sign of hearing loss too. I can hear volume just fine but picking out individual words that aren’t spoken clearly or with background noise is a struggle.

Its not only the clarity of enunciation, what West Texas redneck is going to go back in the middle of the freaking night to bring a near dead hours ago mexican drug runner a bottle of water.
You know how many rattlers are crawling around out there in that rimrock country in October?
And then Sheriff Cool Hand Luke rides calmly into the remains of the OK Corral drug cartel scene and acts like its just another day on the job. I mean, no "Holy crap, WTH" or nothing.

I'm the founding member of your club. Huh?
What?!
Just point your good/better left ear (assuming you shoot right handed) at the TV.
If you shoot right handed rifles the left ear is toward the muzzle.
Probably depends what you shoot the most. My hearing is better in my left ear and it’s the side that I “point” an ear with when I’m trying to make out words when in a room with background noise. I assume that’s from shooting a lot of autoloaders and having the ejection port near my right ear.
This movie is very faithful to the book. Basically every single bit of dialogue was straight out of the book. A few things were cut, but almost nothing was added that wasn’t in the book. The biggest difference in the book and the movie is that the book is much more about the sheriff. He is the main character and he narrates the entire thing.
The biggest firearms goofs with the movie were that it was set in 1980 and Llewelyn was hunting antelope with a heavy barreled laminated stocked Remington 700 and twisting turrets. And then the suppressed shotgun that Chigurh used was composite stocked 11-87.
Llewelyn’s ending is abrupt in the movie. Since he is the main character, it’s odd. In the book, he is just part of the story being told by the sheriff.
I consider it a complete waste of valuable time. The movie stank. He murdered people he didn't have to for no reason at all. Some people are like that but they don't have that long a run before running into someone that swats them. About the only redeeming thing in the entire movie is watching Woodie Harrelson get offed. That was comforting.
The ending seems set up for a sequel but apparently there isn't one.
Also if Llewellyn had any balls he would have killed that Zombie without running anywhere and been hailed as a local hero, kept the money and protected his family.

Truth. What was his part doing in the show anyway, or his boss? Bounty hunters?
Just a quick FYI...it's " No Country for Old Men"....
Meh, let him go. He’s on a roll.
“You kids get off my damn lawn!!”
Always the smell checkers.
I started to go back and fix it last night but said to hell with it when plenty of other guys posted on the movie and i deduced most Fire guys were able to figure it out.
I guess i should have, actually but i was too busy watching the movie at the time.

My take was Harrelson was a recovery specialist / bounty hunter...
It is not a movie I would watch again and again, but it did keep me entertained for it's duration. I do not care for Javier though! Basically a SJW or Sean Penn's boyfriend, take your pick!
Yep, the current POTUS is filling the US up with MS-13 and African and Middle East muxzies just as bloodthirsty as the killer but hey, Biteme is a great guy. He doesn't grab women's crotches (though maybe those of kids).
Piles of dead bodies and fleets of shot up trucks are pretty common in areas Biden is bringing in immigrants from.
Like Trump said, other nations are sending us their criminals. Still, its the Christians we need to worry about.

I've seen it several times and was "entertained " each time. Remembering it's a "pretend " movie, full of people who are "acting a part" helps get from start to finish.
It was kinda cool having a movie set in places around here I’ve been to, tho of course that weren’t the Eagle Pass/Piedras Negras bridge nor downtown Eagle Pass, and in 1980 there woulda been the shanty town of stateless Kickapoo Indians living under the bridge who woulda quickly picked up any falling suitcase.
IIRC South of Hwy 90 around Sanderson is a suitably remote area along the border for purposes of the movie but I dunno if people hunt pronghorn there.
At the time the biggest thing that grated on me tho was foul-mouthed West Texas White kids. Didn’t ring true.

I love that movie. Thought everybody killed it. It did have a gritty feel and subtle eeriness and suspense to it that not everyone may be able to appreciate.

You’re a fugking moron.
On your best day.

“Keep it up, an I’ll take ya out back n [bleep] ya.”
Well, when Tommy Lee pulled his 1911 from the Yaqui slide & entered that motel room, he was clearly old, tired, or out classed. Could have been dead 6 ways from Sunday on that entry when he let his guard down in just a moment.
That right there was explanation enough for the title. Did the entire movie work up to this little moment?
jaguartx: Well THE problem is DEFINITELY not with the movie! I would say your problems are now getting the best of you. Try hearing aids and an open mind for starters. Hold into the wind VarmintGuy
Welp, you’re only 14 years late with your review! Let me help you with the antagonist, Anton Churga. “Spoiler alert” - He’s a psychopathic killer who lives by and believes life is a matter of chance; hence the quarter. The gas station scene, the old man calls ‘heads’ and Churga genuinely congratulates the owner and walks away. This theme plays out throughout the movie and ultimately ends with Churga being taken out in a random car accident by, you guessed it, chance. Live/die by sword stuff here. The best part though is when he blows away Woody Harrelson’s character (but that’s because Harrelson is a dick in real life too).
The ending to the movie is in my top picks for movie endings of all time. The whole movie is really good but I’ve watched just the last 10 minutes and in particular the last couple minutes many times.
The Coen brothers made some great films, but No Country is easily the most over rated film of the last 20 years. It’s up there with Donnie Darko for an over hyped flop.

Well, I spent a lot of time out in west Tx when I was a kid, they sounded pretty normal from what I remember.
I dunno that I’ve ever heard you curse either Rog.
If I remember correctly, that was the scene from the middle-class neighborhood in Odessa. I assure you that language would be accurate for roughnecks' kids from that era in the Permian Basin. I bet their fathers had "oilfield trash and proud of it" bumper stickers, too.
