I'm also excited about 3:10 to Yuma opening this week.

I'm holding out until this gem is released.

I can't wait to see 3:10 either - I watch anything with Christian Bale in it, since he's my future baby daddy and all. The Coen Bros movie looks amazing as well.

I will see 3:10 despite the sickening trend to remake EVERYTHING, and I'm definitely onboard for the first "serious" Coen Bros movie in a while (I think)

Brilliant from first frame to last, this faithful adaptation of McCarthy's novel is the Coen brothers best film to date, an undisputed masterpiece that's mesmerizing as chase thriller and meditation on the roots and nature of violence in American life.

...

The most ambitious and impressive Coen film in at least a decade, featuring the flat, sun-blasted landscapes of west Texas and an eerily memorable performance by Javier Bardem.

...

A stark modern-day Western featuring Javier Bardem as the creepiest movie psycho this side of Anthony Hopkins in The Silence of the Lambs.

...

A scorching blast of tense genre filmmaking shot through with rich veins of melancholy, down-home philosophy and dark, dark humor.

I hear ya, poppo... I almost decided to skip it based on that, alone, but it looks good enough that I'll see it anyway.

I watched that preview without sound and it still gave me goosebumps.

No Country for Old Men looks great but I'm not so sure about 3:10.

I'm so psyched for NCFOM that I've just made it an acronym. I am going to watch the SHIT out of that movie.


Elmore Leonard said that 3:10 to Yuma is one of three movies made out of his millions of books that was actually awesome, another was Out of Sight, which I totally agree was awesome and the other was Get Shorty which sucked nineteen kinds of hobo ass, but old E is at least 80 years old and must be forgiven for that mistake.

- Nineteen Kinds of Hobo Ass -

1. Raw from sitting on wooden flatcars.
2. Piled-up from sitting on cold concrete.
3. Skinny from malnutrition.
4. Shitty from the shits.
5. Sticky from spilled ripple.
6. Numb from sub-zero beddy-bye.
7. Bloody from hobo with a cold.
8. Tanned from no pants in the desert.
9. Tanned from hobo daddy's belt.
10. Hard from all that walking.
11. Soft from all that sitting.
12. Chafed from twelve years in the same union suit.
13. Stinging from farmer's rock salt load.
14. Bruised from a gang of railroad dicks.
15. Puckered from dog bites.
16. Wet from hobo sweat.
17. ?

Very Wallace-Stevens-esque, Hugh.

17. Inside out from a dodgy mulligan made from a gamy gump.

Hodgman would love this thread.
