Ken Levine has a very funny blog. However, he's not making the funny this time. No, he points us to a colleague of his, Bob Gale (he wrote Back to the Future... the film that made me want to wear orange vests all year round) and his thoughts of 2007's Best Film of the Year, No Country For Old Men.
Excerpts: (Oh, SPOILERS AHEAD!!!)
Javier the bad guy wanders around Texas doing a bad impression of The Terminator, lugging a big compressed air tank and hose instead of just carrying a pistol with a silencer that he could put in his pocket. Right.
Josh Brolin fires a shotgun with double aught buck at Javier who is 6 feet away from him behind a door and he doesn’t kill him, nor blow up his compressed air tank. What planet are we on where the laws of physics work in such mysterious ways?
Josh Brolin can just walk across the border into Mexico AT A BORDER CROSSING, dripping blood, without being stopped by the Mexican authorities. What is this, some special “Bleeding-fugitives-can-get-into-Mexico-free Day?”
Javier is looking all over Texas for Josh and can’t find him, but Woody Harrelson finds him immediately in a hospital in Mexico. I guess I also missed the scene where they explained that Woody had super-powers.
