That's beside the point.

(Though it is hinted, ever so subtly, that Chigur did)

Still wonder why the girl(s) love Javier so much - must be his latin style as it can't be the haircut :lol:

Victoraingirl, if it was his acting you liked you should check out Before Night Falls . Excellent movie with Bardem, directed by Julian Schnabel (amazing use of colours in the pic), for those falling asleep during Brokeback M. not best choice though... :wink:

Yes, superb film unfortunately my two friends didnt like it.

Ani - when Chigur gave a tip to one of the young boys I just assume he got the money.

I heard his posters are everywhere in Spain.

I really don't like extremely philosophical anime style endings (Princes Mononoke, Akira and etc) in any kind of visual medium. Film in question had an incredibly promising cinematography and character development up to the point where Josh Brolin's character was so cheaply killed.

At that juncture film took the wrong turn and became an elitist circle jerk (like the nobel prize a certain Turk got, or the idea behind literary portion of the Nobel Prices aka yearly repentance ceremony of the west aimed at making themselves feel better for the all the suffering their "civilized" societies have caused through out history.)

I shall end my little diatribe with this little note. In order to preempt any attempts by our esteemed ad hominem folks (Seggiest is gone but someone will surely pick up his banner) or as I would like to call them the Oriental Romanticist I am not putting the blame on any one particular group. We are all sinners(though of some of us are less guilty.) I just like my current and possibly delusional state of "I ain't no sheep" way of thinking.

P.S: Apparently members of the academy are coming around to Nobel institutes way of thinking if we are to take the awards given this year as an indicator. It is so sad to see the gradual erosion of an institution that was aimed at getting the masses rather than the privileged few to discuss things.

DAI - that post will be preserved as one of the wankiest posts on EiT. Well done mate; even with the use of recreational drugs, I don't think I could have come up with a more boring addition to this thread.

Hence the delusional reference high and mighty webmaster(please note the sarcasm.)

Since you don't really seem to share your mind on anything that actually matters (at least to me.) I am not sure on how to answer your meaningless post in response to my "meaningless" post. Meaning I don't know you. Do not know anything about you. Which is a fact I am perfectly happy with, because I don't think you have anything to contribute (anything to contribute to my experience that is.) Also ban ahead darling if I offended your extremely correct political sensibilities.

P.S: He Was A Quiet Man wasn't a bad movie at all.
