This is either the best or worst thing I’ve ever seen.
It’s A Team Effort
Just started reading No Country for Old Men last night, and somehow stumbled onto this video while eating breakfast. It’s a script-to-screen comparison of THAT scene. Brilliantly written, adapted, directed, acted, costumed, lit, shot, edited. It all has to be there for it to work this effectively.
Best YouTube comment regarding Chigurh’s motivation for the coin toss …
I think he would be fine with it either way. The way he sees it, it’s just. The coin makes the decision not him. If the coin says heads then he should be pitied, a worthless peasant able to finish out his life. If its tails, he should be despised for his weakness, a waste, and removed from the earth. Chigurh understands this, that he is both, and the coin simply dictates the action to be taken. So it doesn’t matter either way. There’s always a reason to kill him and there’s always a reason to spare him. So the coin will sort it out.
Sakuran Zensen
The band’s name is Sakuran Zensen. Sakuran means ”crazy” (sort of) and Zensen means ”front of the line.” So Sakuran Zensen means ”front of the line of the crazies.” In an interview with a publicity company, the singer told them that they did not pick this name for any other reason than ”it sounded cool.”
El Batstardo
I’m predisposed to like this shit. But enough already.
Trailer
Somehow I missed this trailer at the time.
More Pretenders
You all know this song, so I’m not sure why I’m posting this, other than it’s always seemed to me to be somewhat underrated. Yeah, it appears on “best of” compilations, and MTV did air this video some, but I don’t remember ever hearing it on the radio. It’s a great song, with brilliant guitar parts throughout, and a badass lead break at the end. Do I wish I’d seen them live? Hell yeah. Sadly, half of this line-up would be dead within a couple of years.
The Sexiest Collarbone You’ve Ever Seen
And a song I’ve had on repeat for a little bit. How did I miss Lisa Hannigan?
Anyway, thanks for the heads-up, Aashish!
Mirrored Aztec
Bob and the boys release their 31st (? maybe, who knows? how do you count?) and second album of 2020
f you’ve worn all those out, the band has also announced a fan club of sorts called Hot Freaks (what else?) that will give you access to unreleased content, rarities and other stuff. Let us know how it is, Monkeystador.
Dansylvania
If you film bats upside down, you get a goth club, of course.
But wait, there’s more!
While we’re revisiting great covers…this one achieves the impossible by being better than the Kinks’ original, in my opinion. I doubt anyone else has ever bested the Kinks. Another Nick Lowe production.
