"Who's you're friend? Bozo the Clown?"
- "No, Bozo the Death Machine!"

Movie would be over

they should make an honest movie, even if it was 5 minutes long, it would be refreshing to see it just end with common sense.

"Who's you're friend? Bozo the Clown?"
- "No, Bozo the Death Machine!"

reply

Are you serious Mr T you better rethink that. Movies aren't about common sense they are about magic.

reply

ok, well maybe we could show more realism in films, like - right now there is always something happening in every scene, that to me is quite unrealistic. I think it would be a breath of fresh air to see Anton or someone sitting for 25 minutes reading a newspaper, or taking a crap or brushing there teeth, flossing and then using mouthwash - just throw in some real life grit to really give movies needing more realism a shot in the arm.

Mr T just doesn't understand movies. Thank goodness very few filmmakers listen to him. He doesn't understand the power of fiction. Lucky for me I do. Imagine watching an average length movie, one and a half hours and 25 minutes taken up by someone reading a newspaper.

This is fun. I curse IMDb for cutting us off. I suspect IMDb is jealous of people having fun.

Sitting on the crapper and reading a newspaper is " real life grit? "  I thought escaping that type of mundane nothingness was why people went to the movies.

reply

The directors cut of No Country for Old men should be 28 hours long, most of it is just Anton sleeping, a few *beep* are thrown in for true grit.

"Who's you're friend? Bozo the Clown?"
- "No, Bozo the Death Machine!"

reply

I'm going with Mr T as Bozo the Clown.

reply

I'm Bozo the Death Machine actually!

take a joke ffs

"Who's you're friend? Bozo the Clown?"
- "No, Bozo the Death Machine!"

reply

Yeah death by boredom.

Moss was planning to do just that. The whole purpose of El Paso is to get away via the airport: so that was probably Moss's intention (i.e. go somewhere like Costa Rica and stay there)

There was a scene where someone helps Anton by the road. Anton asks about where the airport is. The guy says there are air strips, but the only airport is El paso's
