The Breakfast Club. Ally Sheedy was a trillion times cuter before her makeover. How come Anthony Michael Hall's character (the nerdy kid) had to end up being the fifth wheel at the end :mjcry:
I was rooting for him to end up with Ally's character. To be fair, I can see they were trying to make it semi-realistic, but still :to:

EDIT: And the Force Awakens. They did Finn dirty in the end. My goodness.

Yeah it was such a piss take! It was bullshyt the makeover, she didn't need it they just wanted a transformation of some sorts,

It's okay that the main character got killed unexpectedly off screen because Tommy Lee Jones made a soliloquy about being :flabbynsick: earlier:stopitslime:

Ending was :trash:
Yeah dudes have defended that ending as being non cliche or some dumb shyt. bad ending, good film.
The whole film is about how the universe defies one's expectations. Chigurh expects to play by preordained rules yet they are soundly broken. Sheriff Bell expects to bring him to justice in one last ride yet he slowly realizes he's just too old. The audience expects Llewellyn to have a climactic gunfight with Chigurh and ride off into the sunset victorious, yet he's killed off-screen at the end of the second act.

You're really copping pleas for a poorly written ending?:mjlol:

"The universe defies ones expectations.":russ: That's what the movie was about? It's totally not about a guy who found money that belonged to gangsters and now he's on the run from a hitman:skip:. That's what pissed me off about it. It was a great until they threw in Tommy Lee Jones' existentialism to add depth that wasn't needed. It was pretentiousness at its finest. They wanted that Oscar and knocked a great movie down to a good one.

That's exactly what the film is about. Are you not familiar with the Coen brothers' work? The for the birds circumstances, the inevitable fate of man, randomness of life's events and the human condition are basically the foundation of their films.

It's anything but pretentious, again, if you had seen some of their previous work you wouldn't be drowning like this. :manny:

If you watch a movie you should be focused on what works or doesn't work in the narrative of that specific film. In that moment when the main character is dead and I don't know get to see it there's a problem. I'm not sitting there going through a filmography to compare and contrast. I'm not rewatching the film. They ruined the movie.

Jesus the people hating on No Country just sound so daft...:mjlol:

Anton didn't kill Llewellyn, the Mexicans did.

Llewellyn called his wife and told her to meet him in El Paso, where he would've helped her escape danger and fly away somewhere with her mother. However, this never happened because before his wife could make it to El Paso, the Mexicans had already began surveiling her whereabouts, with the mother in law unintentionally giving away Llewellyn's location.

Also, when Anton took the chicken farmer's truck, he asked about the nearest airport, which the farmer said was in El Paso. This is how Anton ended up in El Paso, albeit late.

Y'all vapid fukkers just wanted a straight forward action movie, I'm guessing because all the violence before the ending wasn't enough for y'all. :francis:

When you watch the film again, try to actually pay attention to the dialog, because the film transcends the fukkin money.:pachaha:

The sheriff's struggle with growing old and essentially inadequate in his line of work; Llewellyn's hubris; Chigurh's philosophies and principles; they're all fascinating and done so well.

Very well rounded film.
