First, the good part... the DVD cover has pictures (in order) of stars Josh Brolin, Javier Bardem, and Tommy Lee Jones and the actor names right below don't match that order.

That's it.
That's the most entertaining part of "No Country for Old Men." And the Oscar goes to...

"No Country for Old Men"... 1 bill-star. BORING! Go: boring plot, no interesting characters, every character uses that stupid faux-witty dialog you see so much these days (for which the Coen borthers and Quentin are probably largely responsible), not even that much action really. There isn't a genuine moment in the movie. I'll throw a bill-star on the pile for how beautiful the desert was.

It's so funny to compare this movie to another Oscar nominee like Juno. Juno was so entertaining and different. I mean Juno was an artistic risk. Are the Coen brothers risking anything by making some violent, brooding movie? I wish I could have been a fly on the wall when one of them excitedly interjects that the "bad guy" can carry some weird compressed air thingie instead of a gun. "Wow, great hook!" Yawn.
yow, bill

PS - The Coen brothers' best effort, "Big Lebowsky"... "That's right. Nobody fucks with the Jesus"
