I looked at my going away thread for a couple of days, then didn't look back until Phil sent me the "come back" thread Simply Red posted.

[Hootie]

I wonder if I went away if I'd get a "come back" thread...

Wait, that was retarded...of course I would!

[el borracho]

Which was it?

a) you were really upset
b) you aren't that into bulletin boards
c) you have incredible resolve

Post whore! :ROFL:

Why not try it and find out? Maybe Hamas will start the thread. :ROFL:

Fairly good resolve in combination with the principle of the matter.

I said I was going to go and I did. I also said from the beginning (told Phil on the phone that day) that I'd likely be back, I just needed some time away.

What people don't understand is that I was less upset by the pirating that was going on than I was by the complete lack of respect with which I was met. And it permeated threads following the American Gangster thread.

[el borracho]

Well, good for you sticking to your resolve and good for us to have you back.

Hey, if you are looking for another 89 posts tonight perhaps you can give us your interpretation(s) of No Country for Old Men.

Bob Dole did that to someone once. Can't remember who is was.

SPOILERS!!!


I loved that movie. I said in another thread that I think with every film the Coen Bros. further solidify themselves as two of the great filmmakers of our time, in the lines of Ford, Hitchcock and Kubrick.

I'd go as far as to call No Country the best film the Coens have done, topping Miller's Crossing and even Blood Simple. This film, upon a singular viewing, is nearly perfect.

And I haven't seen a scene as exciting to me as Anton's murder of the cop (where he strangled him inside the jail, leaving boot marks on the floor)... since Torn Curtain, when Hitchcock decided to show what it really would be like to kill someone, the struggle that would be involved.

Overall, I think the movie is a comment on the state of man. Chigurh personifies what we fear, what destroys us, whatever that may be, while Tom Bell (Tommy Lee Jones) is us, complete with a choice over whether we will be a part of it. At the end, he chooses not to be.

Jesus.

The movie is about Jesus.

yeah, I loved the film- even if I wasn't sure exactly what to take from it. I think it is open to multiple interpretations, which is, in part, what makes it great.

It is interesting that you mention choice because it seemed to me that relatively few characters in the film had choice and that most were subject to chance and/ or fate.

Chigurh is one of the most willful, purposeful characters (he's a bit like the Terminator, isn't he?) and even he operates on chance and/ or fate from time to time. In fact, without sitting down to count them I would guess that Chigurh leave more to chance and fate than (anti-)hero, who is repeatedly presented with options and decisions (and generally chooses the wrong option which leads to his early exit from the film).

[Fire Me Boy!]

So, el borracho... you got my response, what say you?

[Fire Me Boy!]

Damn, just a second too late.

Chigurh sees himself as a tool for fate. It's not a decision for him. What happens is whatever the coin says.

I say it is time to eat; I'll check back in a bit.

I'm going for 10K and one of the mods, Bob Dole, methinks, took away 100 posts. Gotta make it up somehow, right?

In fairness to Bob Dole, you started a couple threads when a simple PM might have sufficed.

[DaFace]

Lamest post whoring ever.

I didn't know it was him!

And he was ****ing around with me, just because. We've had a couple PM's back and forth tonight already.

It's all in good fun.

[Mr. Laz]

In fairness to Bob Dole,

you mean the Bob dole that starting locking threads for the fun of it?

I'm not going for "best"... just effective. Got tired of waiting the 15 seconds.

Don't say I never tried to help you out. :D

See..you could have gotten 3 posts out of that easy..your just not trying. I dont think you dedicated enough to get this done tonight

I've lost my drive since one of the mods took a sincere effort (without post-whoring) and dashed my hopes.

Now I'm thinking of getting to 9,999 and leaving again.

[Fire Me Boy!]

I really don't have the patience to post whore.

I was just trying to post a single letter in a dozen or so threads and got tired after like 5 of them.

[Fire Me Boy!]

I'm done tonight.

I actually never intended to postwhore tonight. I was going to go for 10K by actually making my 110 posts real responses.

Not gonna happen, I guess.

I hope one of the mods will, however, return my postcount to its proper place.

[FAX]

Perhaps it would be best to let the post count just sort of accumulate naturally, Mr. Fire Me Boy!.

Or, you could start a fight with Mr. Rain Man. Those can last awhile.

Chigurh sees himself as a tool for fate. It's not a decision for him. What happens is whatever the coin says.
Acting as an agent of fate makes sense although I don't think all his actions were based on the coin toss. We certainly didn't see him flipping coins to determine what to do with Harrelson or Brolin (although I guess one could argue that their fates were determined by their own actions and that in those cases a coin toss was unnecessary).
