holy fuck. i knew blood meridian was being made into a film, but i had no idea todd field was directing it. in the bedroom and little children are two of my favorite films from this decade. dude is so good ... i hate that kubrick died before either were released, since he was his mentor and all. sissy spacek's performance in in the bedroom is beyond words. love her. top ten actress for me.
the only other mccarthy book i've read is no country for old men. like you said, it can be read in one sitting ... and i read it on a short pland ride to san diego. i loved it though. read it again after i saw the movie. i don't mind quick reads ... that's one of the reasons steve martin is one of my favorite authors of this decade. i've read shopgirl three times. fucking love that novella. i'm more inclined to reread books that take only three or four hours.
anyway, i'll stop polluting your wall. i gave up on the torrent and bought the road. i have a hangup about paying for a book that's a paperback so i shelled out a few extra bucks for the hardcover from his website. see, i'm not such a jew after all. sorry, aoife.
