Great film. but two things made me a little sad:

1. That my Dad couldn't watch it with me ~ I'm sure he would have enjoyed it  Bluesad

2. Less seriously: I found out that Javier Bardem doesn't say "Call it, friendo" in the film, he just says "Call it". Pity.  Smile

Actually he does say "Friendo" at least one time in the scene with the gas station owner.

I think I am the only one who didn't like it.

I loved it, for once I thought all the hype was justified.

Due to the horrifying nature of this film, no one will be admitted to the theatre.

I nearly bit through my tongue when that happened: I wasn't expecting it.  Buggedout

The only part I thought was over hyped was Tommy Lee Jones' part.  If he was going to get nominated for an oscar it should've been for " In the Valley of Elah".

Supposedly, their new film Burn After Reading is getting even better positive buzz than NCFOM got.

Glad you liked it, Trevor. I know I enjoyed it a lot as well, especially since it wasn't a straight forward narrative. Great performances of characters who aren't Hollywood cutouts you've seen athousand times, these people had flaws and weaknesses that made them more human and believeable. Chugura being the exception, a monster to be sure and not a cookie cutter movie villain, but I could still see someone like that existing in the real world. Just hope I never meet someone like him.

Most of the people I've known who didn't like it seem disappointed that it wasn't more straight forward and didn't tie up everything in a neat, pretty bundle at the end. One friend and I have had a discussion about the film a couple of times, we've had to just come to the conclusion that my tastes are more unconventional and he like his storytelling to be more mainstream with happier endings.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
