ugh, the road: cliché after cliché; the most 'moving' parts the ones gruesomely cobbled together from the clichés of others; the only future it portends is one where shit writing is the norm and nothing is original.
i want to reserve judgment on the rest of mccarthy's books since No Country for Old Men seems so, so bad until you watch the Coens' masterpiece. not that good movies haven't been made from bad books before (LoTR, American Psycho) but i do wonder if 'Coens movies' exist in his other books, too (i'm a pretty bad reader)
P.S. went to a PTQ today; after round 5 our team of drunkards ('The Cube Thread') is 5-0, 5-0, 4-1, 4-1, 4-1. after round 7 we have 7-0, 6-1, 6-1. after round 8 the other 6-1 and i bow out, drowned in the biblical flood (since it's madness to not play 18 lands in this format, but, well, it happens). after the t8 draft our king Blue player is in solid position to beat people over the head with his excellent G/x deck. in the quarters he crushes his strongest competition. in the semis he floods like a motherfucker and croaks. lame. there were like no green decks at the top tables (of the swiss) today either which is bizarre since it's the nuts
