WHERE'S THE FUCKING ADAPTATION
>>
I'M WORKING ON IT SHITFUCK
STOP HASSLING ME
>>
>>219131898
im reading this now, theres barely any punctuation and its like all slang lol hard to read, hopefully gets easier
>>
>>219131961
no not really
>>
>>219131898
Wasn't James Franco going to do it?
>>
>>219131961
the style doesn't change or get easier, but you get into the rhythm of the text
>>
>>219131961
You get used to it
>>
>>219131961
Yea i kinda stopped reading because of that. But its strange, despite how annoying it is to read, those descriptions really stick with you are give you a surprisingly vivid idea of what everything looks like.
I dont get it.
>>
why would you need an adaptation of this trash
>le brutal fight scene
>le rape beheading scalping scene
>le shootout scene
>le brutal rape shootout beheading scene
>"the real Blood Meridian was le man all along..."
>>

>>219132307
yea its very illustrative but im personally not the strongest reader in terms of memory recall, in the short term mainly, he describes things uniquely but there's too many obstacles in his writing style for me to retain anything, ill still finish it though, id actaully benefit from a film, itll sort of amalgamate my understanding
>>
Cormac McCarthy works tend to insist upon themselves. I can't get through any of them. There is personal writing style and then there is whatever he's trying to do for attention there.
>>
>>219132642
Just read it a dozen times and it’ll start to stick eventually
>>
>>219132686
>dozen
haha

The better McCarthy kino deserves an adaptation

>>219131961
the audiobook is great if youre annoyed by that
cormacs later books are more accessible and honestly better
>>
>>219132686
>dozen times
do most aspiring writers do this? read the same book multiple times, because i have the aptitude to become a good author but theres no chance in hell i would read a book more than once, but i think that stunts developing a unique writing style due to lack of practice
>>
>>219131898
>you ever heard of mainfest destiny? well, it was racist and le bad, m'kay?
>>
>>219132857
reading is rereading

you haven't actually read a book unless you've read it at least twice
>>
>>219132922
>thinking it's just about manifest destiny being bad
>>
>>219131898
Overrated shit.
>Majority of the book is filler and describing landscapes and the banality of evil
Incredibly not overdone before.
>>
>>219132857

Being a good author is just about your own personal style you synthesize from many others. Obviously it isn't from copying someone else's. There's basically 0 way McCarthy would have come up with his own style if he was just ripping off of his contemporaries as it's uniquely absurd.

first Cormac McCarthy book huh?
>>
>>219133049
No, but it's gonna be my last. I'd rather read Pynchon or Infinite Jest.
>>
>>219132999
I'm sure the Judge is just a huge pale white guy because Cormac used randomize on the RPG character maker.

>>219133041
I dont mean reread a specific author to rip off writing style but to UNDERSTAND writing style patterns, once you get a hang of authors and thier patterns, then you can learn to develop your own, at least thats what I think

The audiobook is better than any movie adaptation would be. Just listen to that instead

I came to this realization when I went back to dune and rediscovered new insights that I could gleam on the reread. Same with the stand. I first read it as a teen with no internet and now as an adult with online access with life experience im able to digest more of the world. The covid pandemic is also a new facet that I can bring into the reading experience.

The real hidden gem is the Lego version with the audio book. It is perfection. *chef's kiss.

Dont be obtuse, its fmdifgicult for anyone. Id wager if you presented to a college instructor in english they would throw it away in disgust just for that.

You're proving his point
>>
>>219134482
hes obviously lying, 8/10 can't read that book, maybe 9
>>
So can I make constant off-topic posts by doing the "WHERE'S THE ADAPTATION" shtick?

They should ask your father to direct. He's an expert at this.

>>219131995
Franco completely botched Child of God (one of McCarthy’s short novels) and was essentially disowned from any collaboration by McCarthy. He fucked around with it for a few years then when he got metoo’d realized it probably wasn’t going to happen and let it go. New Regency has the rights now and a serious effort was underway with McCarthy’s input until he died, there hasn’t been any substantial update since 2024.

People aren't going to be able to get through the anti-americanism with a war about to happen.
I actually love McCarthys take on America its probably the best possible, its not because White people are inherently evil or some bullshit, its because everyone was there with a greedy purpose and desires. America doesn't exist to be a force of good its a force of nature manifested. Or something like that.

Cormac is the most overrated author of all time. His whole shtick was virtually no punctuation and abusing the thesaurus to show off his 60,000 word vocabulary. Blood Meridian is the most overrated “classic” novel in American history

The adaptation would be a let down, how the fuck are you supposed to adapt something like this
>A legion of horribles, hundreds in number, half naked or clad in costumes attic or biblical or wardrobed out of a fevered dream with the skins of animals and silk finery and pieces of uniform still tracked with the blood of prior owners, coats of slain dragoons, frogged and braided cavalry jackets, one in a stovepipe hat and one with an umbrella and one in white stockings and a bloodstained wedding veil and some in headgear or cranefeathers or rawhide helmets that bore the horns of bull or buffalo and one in a pigeontailed coat worn backwards and otherwise naked and one in the armor of a Spanish conquistador, the breastplate and pauldrons deeply dented with old blows of mace or sabre done in another country by men whose very bones were dust and many with their braids spliced up with the hair of other beasts until they trailed upon the ground and their horses' ears and tails worked with bits of brightly colored cloth and one whose horse's whole head was painted crimson red and all the horsemen's faces gaudy and grotesque with daubings like a company of mounted clowns, death hilarious, all howling in a barbarous tongue and riding down upon them like a horde from a hell more horrible yet than the brimstone land of Christian reckoning, screeching and yammering and clothed in smoke like those vaporous beings in regions beyond right knowing where the eye wanders and the lip jerks and drools.
90% of the beauty is in the language

thats literally how hollywood will die, some chinese programmer will feed the whole novel into his software, itll produce a film and variant versions, post on to the internet for free, put a small pay for illegal streaming service that you can use via vpn, kinoverse is comin
>>
>>219139052
The guy who directed the cell and the fall could do it.

Not bait. Cormac sucks and only pretentious dweebs like his writing
I bet you like jazz too lol

But it really is a good book.

I don't think any rape explicitly happens. It's more of a you fill in the blanks case.
