I believe the line is "Awe, Hell's Bells, they even shot the dog."


Yes, it is. I misremembered. Big Grin





Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

The definition of the words we used, carry a meaning of their own...

It is remarkably faithful to the book and I'd recommend that you read it if you liked the film. The Coens knew what to leave alone.


Interesting little bit, honestly didn't even know it was based on a book Frown Gonna go see about buying it now.

ETA: Just bought the paperback on Amazon for little under $12, so im excited Big Grin

Some buildings have engineering levels, others have entire floors that are luxury apartments for bigwigs. Neither of these are listed in the passenger elevators.

And then try "Blood Meridian," McCarthy's masterpiece.

I could never get through Blood Meridian or All the Pretty Horses (not very far into them iirc). I know I have a paperback BM, and probably AtPH also somewhere - and I will give them another try sooner or later. I breezed through The Road and No Country, and The Sunset Limited was also good.
