Didn't particularly have any interest in watching this...but it was better than I was expecting. 6.5/10.

This was a very enjoyable and oddly melancholy watch:
For anyone who's ever had that 'boozer's gloom'

- Might be my favorite movie.nb
- This trailer is pretty much a masterclass on how to "show the entire movie" in a trailer without giving away anything! Two thumbs upnb
- @nb same. Two questions: Did Chigurh miss the bird on purpose, and why did he do what he did with the trailer park manager?garbage
- 1. No, he missed. It's a sign that anything could happen. This mirrors Ed Tom's story: "Even in contest between man and steer, the outcome is not certain."nb
- 2. Chigurh is a predator near the top of the food chain. Part of what makes him so effective is knowing when he has met his match, to back down.nb
- He knows when he shouldn't press his luck, and one look at that trailer park manager and he knows she is a worthy opponent. (Obviously a mix of humor in there.)nb
- The Coen brother's need to have Roger Deakons as their DOP again.bogue
- Watched True Grit again the other night and it could have been a great movie if it looked like this.bogue
- Loved this movie so much!elahon
- @bogue – was the last one Hail Cesar? I've been really into Roger Deakins podcast, really worthwhile if you like movies!DaveO
- Oh.. didn't know he had one. I bet that is incredibly interesting. I'll check it out. Hadn't realized he shot Hail Cesar.bogue
- But... Deakins did shoot True Grit, too. i think both movies were shot according to their respective stories. (True Grit is the Coen's biggest seller, btw.)nb
- @nb agreed on the bird. I think he spared the trailer park manager because she didn't give up Llewelyn. She lived by a code.garbage
- No. He doesn’t spare people who live by a code. Quite the opposite. “If the rule you followed brought you to this, of what use was the rule?”nb
- He spared the trailer park manager because he was in public....he can't kill EVERYONE....he has his limitsdkoblesky
- No, he was in her office. He could’ve easily killed her. But that wouldn’t help him because he wouldn’t get the info and it would help the police track him.nb
- The point of the scene is that he knows when to back down from a worthy fuckin adversary. He knows threatening her is useless. He is outmatched.nb
- The Coens have discussed this scene. Not sure if it’s in the book. Started it, but never got into it. Heard it lacks the humor of the film.nb
- @nb what? The quote you used is what I'm saying. He respects people with what he deems a proper rule. Not all rules are equal.garbage
- @dkob He set a car on fire so that he could rob a pharmacy while bleeding out. I think he could kill a fat old woman and somebody on the shitter if he wanted.garbage
- Well, you could say he has principles that transcend drugs or money or all that. But that's just Carson Wells misundertsanding Chigurh's motivations.nb
- He's capable of killing the trailer park lady, but he knows killing her won't get him closer to the money or Moss.nb
- AND he can see that torturing her would be futile, too. He can see in an instant that she is a stubborn, tough adversary who won't back down. So he walks away.nb

- The spin off cooking show from this is good too.thumb_screws
- The scene where he cooks pasta for her while she is laying on his bed is one of the sexiest scenes everdkoblesky

Threw this on last night and while it's no Sicaro, still pretty good.
- *Sicario (best of its type)DaveO
- Sicario is undefeatedRamanisky2
- Sicario is great. I think I'd watch 2hrs of following those black SUV convoys from a drone alone.Hayzilla
- On Sicario – THAT SCORE!DaveO

- enjoyed this last nightGardener
- really? the first half was great the second half was absurd. had potential but I was screaming at the screen by the end of it._niko
- she won the Golden Globe best actress last night, deservedGardener
- I dug it, not perfect but yeah. sometimes you just have to accept art as it is and not how you want it to be.GuyFawkes
- I think that _niko ha a valid criticism....it did shift into a comic tone later....judgment call whether it worked....kept me guessing until the end thoughdkoblesky
- US only? HmmphHayzilla
- Ahh Amazon not NFXHayzilla

This is good. Documentary with a bunch of scientists asking big questions. Clever format, really well done.
Highly recommended. Netflix is where I saw it....
- yup, very good.renderedred
- Watched it last night and loved it, some observances:
1) I’m an idiot
2) scientists are pretty green compared to scientists who specialize in a specific field_niko - 3) it boggles my mind that they keep coming up with new things to research and explore, finding the unknown._niko
- 4) it further boggles my mind that they are able to build instrumentation and technology to measure and capture these hypotheses_niko
- 5) glad that we fund this seemingly insignificant research that scientists are able to work and move us forward without having to worry about putting food on th_niko
- 6) you realize the levels of humanity, though we are all human and share 99.99999999% of the same DNA, the intellectual class divide is staggering. And that’s_niko
- ...not to say that these scientists are naturally smarter or born with an advantage (autism in certain cases aside) but it goes to show what we can achieve with_niko
- ...the right environment and a willingness to learn and put in the work. To drive ourselves forward through the never ending persist of knowledge and discovery_niko
