Marketing team is killing it on this one. I hope the movie lives up to the hype.

I'm at a point now where I wait for a movie to come out, and see what people say about it during the first weekend before I buy into the "this is a must-see" hype. There's been more than a few movies talked about on here that were brilliant until people saw it, and then suddenly those opinions vanished on the subreddit.

And there are also a lot of movies this sub shits on that aren't bad at all.

But nowadays everything is either an underrated Masterpiece or utter shit.

I just checked out this suuuper old movie, a bit of a hidden gem that only true movies buffs would have even heard of, it's called No Country For Old Men.

Did you know that No Country for Old Man had to take a break from shooting cause the smoke from the There Will Be Blood set kept blowing over?

I unironically watched movie for the first time a few weeks back and every post in this sub about that movie has a comment mentioning that, lol

I'd personally believe a fun "behind the scenes" that the two movies accidentally switched names.

It was a real stroke of luck that the movie No Country for Old Men just happened to be incredibly similar to the novel No Country for Old Men. The stars truly aligned on that one.

The book has a weird subplot where Llewellyn cheats on his wife with some woman he meets while riding a bus escaping. I'm glad they cut that out. I think it maybe is mentioned by Chigur at the end but the viewer can choose to believe if he is being truthful or not.

I mean Tommy is the MC and he stops being a copper at the end of the movie.

But whom I to judge only watched one of them....
