No Country for Old Men

[sereneorange]

I finally saw No Country for Old Men tonight. I need to read the book now. Right now. Right this second. Borders closed hours ago, so it will have to wait.

It was beautiful, tense, and brilliant. I cannot fathom how they could have done anything to make it better. I don't really want to say more about it. I would hate to give anything away for someone that hasn't seen it yet.

Since I am not going to write more about what a masterpiece it is, I will instead share with you a realization I had.

My beautiful beautiful Javier Bardem

Who was uglied up for his part as Chigurh

looks hauntingly like several characters from Scooby Doo in this movie. The Chigurh character is much more terrifying, though.

The only image I could find quickly was The Creeper



But there were a lot of henchmen that looked like like Chigurh.

I had no idea that it was a book first. I just looked it up and found that it's by Cormac McCarthy who wrote The Road which was an amazing book.

I'm definitely putting No Country for Old Men on my book list now.
