Why is this book even so highly regarded? It's just edgy nihilism and rapey murder psycho cowboys. How is it even in conversations as a great American novel?
That's the story of the creation of America. Some Nazi would have written their own Blood Meridian had they won.
It's crazy to think that a mere Century ago, the edgy nihilism and rapey murder scalpy psycho cowboys were commonplace in Sothern America.

The Judge: A fat bloated up Daniel day Lewis wearing ladders for the height
Glanton: Christan Bale
The Kid: Timothee Dune homosexual. Yes he would suit the role
Toadvine: Paul Dano
>nihilist
Lmao you got filtered. If anything, it’s anti-nihilist

Everytime like clockwork

Will it ever be made bros? Can it be made, even?

No, it'll just be cowboys lost in the desert for days before a very violent massacre or a shootout, I don't think it will work a film, it's much better as a book.
I want it all to be narrated by Matthew McConaughey with all the other audio ducked and I want it to be shot on film with matte paintings and drawn-on effects for distant storms
Tobin or Toadvine told him that his views will end with the coming of civilization and the epilogue is basically a way to highlight this as well as commentating on forgotten history that has been paved over by the railroad. You no longer had to make a dangerous trek across the continent but take a ride on a train to reach the West and because of that the history of the American West like the incident with the Glanton gang is gone and buried. Obscure history you dont hear about that you have to find.
It's a relatively popular theory just Google something along the lines of "what did the epilogue mean blood meridian" and there are lots of very elaborate discussions about it
I still gotta finish this book. The way it’s written filtered me. It’s overwhelming at times when I’m picturing everything playing out visually in my head due to the way Cormac writes everything like a frickin run on sentence.
there's no ballsy producers anymore, the only things that sell are capeshit, goyslop and cartoons. maybe someone could do it on a smaller budget. joel coen perhaps?

learn about your country's past by a credible fiction
do not hate it as a result though, like lefties do

muh prose

i live it every day
I read this recently after the hype about le hecking unfilmable and honestly
I think I could do it on a budget of $2000 ez
PTA or the Cohen Bros could pull it off, likewise Hillcoat who did great on The Road
So what was in the Jakes?
The Judge and man left behind a horrendous wicked shit uncomprehensible to man
bumsex
The Man Damned and Flanned formerly the Kid
Seriously, no, because the only man capable of playing Holden...bald, imposing, frightening but when naked looked like a giant baby, died.
The Judge: some fat Amish person
The Kid: an actual 14 year old
Glanton: Michael Shannon
The Hermit: Bryan Cranston
I don't want it to be made into a movie unless I myself do it and I will never get the funding to do it
I want it all to be narrated by Matthew McConaughey with all the other audio ducked and I want it to be shot on film with matte paintings and drawn-on effects for distant storms
Glanton did nothing wrong
I'm literally Judge Holden irl
Somebody explain the epilogue to me RIGHT FRICKING NOW. I know it has something to do with the west being tamed but thats it

Him as in Judge Holden
So it ripped off Once Upon A Time in the West? That is almost word-for-word what the entire story is about.
>Can it be made, even?
Robert Mitchum is dead, so no. I really think no one else could -- or should -- play Judge Holden.
This is the closest we're gonna get, I think
Agreed and profoundly overlooked film.
If it ever comes to the big screen, will people make Holden a "literally me" character?
>will people make Holden a "literally me" character?
TikTok will find a way.
>enormous violent pedophile
It would be hilarious if people tried
The kid was the pedo (read the epilogue)
The judge was just a psycho; or in the mind of the kid/man, the personification of evil
how the hell do you get that from the epilogue?
I want to know too

punctuation is gay
shane gillis as the judge. his downy face is perfect for it and he's like 6"4 aswell
Opening shot is him killing a bunch of Chinese
McCarthy, Cormac. Mediocre. A non-entity. Means absolutely nothing to me.
glanton was like 30 at best and yall homiez keep casting washed up dudes in their 50s as him. kys
there's no masculine late 20/30 year olds
Was the judge the devil?
The priest sure thought so.
He is how I'd imagine him to be.
He was an embodied Archon/Demiurge
