can you dumbasses shut the frick up about reddit meridian already
Reddit (lack of) punctuation.
Actually, punctuation is incredibly, fricking, Reddit.
What should we talk about then? Butcher's Crossing? In the Rogue Blood?
Scanners live in Vain, by Cordwainer Smith
Never seen it mentioned before on this website
go to Cinemaphile, it gets threads daily
>cormac mccarthy
>reddit
Tell me you’ve never read his books without telling me you’ve never read his books
>tell me you've x without telling me you've x
Oh cool. You posted a meme image instead of anything resembling a cogent thought. Thanks for being part of this thread man. Really good for board culture
his meme image is gay, as is your cringe meme format statement
Not him but if you can't discuss abstract concepts and stories honestly it is bad for board culture. There's no need to cobson or jak every anon who likes a book you don't, especially when it's arguably great Cinemaphile.
why are you replying to my post with something completely irrelevant?
It's not out of context at all.
>type like a gay
>another gay makes fun of you for typing like a gay
>I call you both gays
>"You don't need to jak people who disagree with you"
ESL hours are a fricking abomination. You are unironic wastes of oxygen
You're talking to two different anons. Makes me think you're the moron here.
You would think that, because you're a dim-witted failure incapable of complex thought. You being a different valueless dumbass changes nothing about my post. Stop typing to me.
I'm sure this sounded articulate and clever in your own mind at least.
Is literally proof of
This book is shit now everybody knows about it since that homosexual made a video about it
The book was made for incels like me, normies would explode their head if they read something so dark and twisted.
what's so dark and twisted about it? all I know is they kill a baby at some point. seems pretty basic "shocking for the sake of being shocking" slop.
Its pretty true to life, its based on real events
>they kill a baby at some point
actually it's two babies and they're killed when during an apace raid when (might have been some other faction been a while since I read it) a guy picks them up by the legs and starts windmilling them against rocks repeatedly smashing their heads until their brains are mush
Various native tribes, mexicans, and settlers are graphically killed constantly throughout the book (stuff like scalping, impalement, raped to death, severed limbs, entrails pulled out). Dead bodies are paraded through the streets
at some point the judge finds a little boy in the aftermath of some bloody battle and adopts him for a bit, whole crew bonds with him and then one night out of nowhere the judge rapes the kid (like 5-8yrs old) up the ass and then snaps his neck like a twig for no apparent reason
the MC is raped to death in an outhouse by the judge
that's just what I can remember off the top of my head, the kill count in the book is probably in the hundreds if not thousands and many of the deaths are described in gruesome detail
Sounds shitty.
it’s gonna be one of those threads huh
>gets called unadaptable
>people ask constantly why it's not adapted
It’s not unadaptable. It’s easily adaptable.
If there is, they would get some israeli A24 director to do it and make it as "white people bad" as possible
More like “Crud Meridian”.
Recently my coworker unironically asked me if I've ever read this book. He's your typical incel looking guy and openly displays racist symbols on his clothing. You frickers are ruining too many people.
I’ll take the bait, what are the symbols? Just sounds like he’s being friendly and trying to start a conversation otherwise
He was wearing an obscure band shirt with an iron cross on it. It wasn't plainly obvious to the layman, but I'm well-versed in racist imagery and immediately noticed it.
I'm afraid if I do he's going to lash out with incel rage.
They let your co-worker wear racist symbols? Ummm report this to HR as soon as possible sweetie
You work at a car wash?
I know people from all walks, blue collar guys, engineers, tv producers others and have discussed this book with them. Your coworker is based and probably needs a friend. Some of the best people you'll get to know in life are racist schizophrenics.
I don’t have anything against racist schizophrenics, I have something against people who enjoy McCarthy’s prose.
Ah that makes sense. It is a bit jarring when reading.
>being too dumb to follow a conversation without quotation marks
Ok
I’m not interested in following the kinds of conversations he writes.
It's unadaptable because the prose is the only good thing. The plot is meandering and Meme Holden is stupid and the lamest Satan symbolism
I tried reading this book but the lack of quotation marks filter me.
Its too gory and has Black person words in it
>When God made man the devil was at his elbow. A creature that can do anything. Make a machine. And a machine to make the machine. And evil that can run itself a thousand years, no need to tend it
I vote for Daniel Day Lewis as the Hermit
Bidengays vote against their own economic interests
this is offically a reddit subject.
When you make the same exact thread every day and all you have to say of value is "HURR THIS CANT BE MADE INTO A MOVIE" youre basically just reddit
>When you make the same exact thread every day
I have literally fricking never seen this book mentioned here before once
welcome to Cinemaphile i assume its your first day https://archive.4plebs.org/tv/search/text/blood%20meridian%20/
>Most recent thread is from over a week ago and died with zero replies
Clearly this topic has been discussed to death huh?
>hurr ive never seen it here before
>pages and pages and pages of discussion of it
the fact you went to "well it was a week ago" to the exact same thread you made exposes your reddit mindset
You are such a homosexual it's unreal
>no u
You started a thread and had LITTEARLLY NOTHING TO SAY about the premise of the thread other than hurr movie not adaptable
you deserved your shit thread getting shitted up
>broo stop discussing things on my coombait/politics only board!
Newhomosexuals like you have killed this site, trying so hard to fit in
>lets have the same discussions over and over again with nothing new to say! this will surely improve the board
This. We shoulf be talking about fallout or that civil war movie. Or star wars again.
Dude not all of us spend every waking hour on this board
reddit book: blood meridian
reddit comic: tmnt last roning
what is the reddit movie and reddit song?
>choppy short sentences
>weird phrasing
>no quotation marks around speech
>no clear indication of who is speaking
>written like a goddamn caveman
yeah no fricking wonder, i heard great things about this book and bought it simply over the hype and i dont even like reading. tried twice already and its impossible to read this shit without it confusing you every other paragraph to the point where you dont even know what is happening. what do some authors gain from making it a near impossible challenge to read their goddamn work?
Reads like a Francis E. Dec letter
Charlie “Cormac” McCarthy has never written anything worth reading.
I’m sorry you got tricked into wasting your money on that bullshit.
SHE WAS A HEWER!
>She hewed, Jerry!

That is beautiful. You all got filtered.

Am I the only one that thinks it would work way better as a mini series? A movie would need to be 4 hours long at a minimum.
I want to see villenuve, Nolan, or Snyder direct this.
I have a soft spot for Snyder but please god no. maybe speilberg
Has Spielberg ever even done an r rated movie before lmao?
Schindlers list. But you’re right it’s definitely not his brand
Villenueve and Sheridan along with the everyone else who did the first, and only the first, Sicario.
All genuinely terrible choices. Face it lads, no one making movies right now really has the right stuff for it. Not even anyone making cinema.
I don’t want anyone to make it. It will be bad just like everything else I knew would be a bad idea when they announced it. Stop adapting things and write something new.
Bone Tomahawk had that fresh yet classic feel I love in a western. If you removed like 2 minutes of footage it basically could have been a solid 1960's Western. But it took a frick ton of effort and talented people basically doing it as a passion project to get it done.
Maybe we don't deserve good westerns anymore bros.
Yeah I was thinking about that when I thought about how to write an original western. It would be difficult to do something truly new given the sheer number of them out there. But I would like to see them make an effort.
>Maybe we don't deserve good westerns anymore bros
I do. Can’t say the same for the rest of you.
>It would be difficult to do something truly new
Plenty of talented guys out there with some leisure time. I've always thought that the form of a Western provides structure like in classical music or other types of stories, hero stories, tragedies, anything. It's more about finding something worth saying when you make a Western, even if it's a bit redundant. I'll watch old westerns and it will be something generic as frick thematically like Shane and still be top tier kino, because they stuck to the form and got creative within it.
It's really guys like Peckinpah who pushed the limits, but eventually you just start traveling up your own ass after a certain point, something gets lost in translation (see Heaven's Gate, a million other flops). But then once it's written, getting it off the ground is where most ran into a problem if you need any kind of money for it. Zahler got around this just by doing it all himself for Bone Tomahawk.
I don't think it is unadaptable, rather it is just much more enjoyable read than in film.
This could only work if it was written and directed by James Franco
The Judge as Vincent D'onofrio
The Kid as Dave Franco
Toadvine as Danny McBride
Ayo somebody shoot dis homie
Cormac is the most overrated writer of the last century. I’d rather read Stephen kings entire works than slog through a punctuation-free pretentious Cormac novel
It would be like 15 hours long and nobody would like it.
The Kid would have to be a woman of color
Would they include the hanging eyeless dead baby tree?
I think any of the dog scenes would get more outrage (from morons)
It gives women the ick.
No ones going to mention they're already making an adaptation with john hillcoat directing? really?
Last I heard McCarthy was writing the adaption.
no country for old men sucked so they arent making it
deal with it
The name's Holden, Judge Holden.
unironically would work, just shave his eyebrows
>JUSTdge Holden
too short, but that can be remedied with good direction
Why is this so popular, I have the ebook but is it just cowboy shit, sell it to me if you are a fan.
It's about the author's view on the human condition
LET REFN COOK
When you strip out the violence, there really isn't any plot.
It is aping Moby Dick. It isn't about the plot.
