    I guess ya'll didn't read the book.

    Read the book - the movie will still kick ass. The book is out of fucking hand.

    His next book - The Road - is likely the best read in a decade. That book will be required reading in schools for a century. It's awesome.

    never heard of the book until the movie buzz started. I don't read much fiction but I'll pick it up.

    I wasn't even sure what you guys were talking about at first.

    I saw the trailer the other day and thought it looked good. The killer with the bowl cut looks menacing as hell.

    Intrigued so I went and checked the book out tonight. Good thing for an old man like me the only one on the shelf was the large print edition. I can read that sukcer without the bi-focals :13:

    I can't believe you don't like Lebowski. That shit about makes me wet myself.

    My uncle trained the dogs for 'Blood Simple'.

    Blood Simple, Miller's Crossing and Lebowski are probably my top 3 at the moment. The only movie of theirs that I didn't enjoy the hell out of is "LadyKillers."
