>>220524609Was this the most accurate adaptation of a book to film ever?
>>220525205No Country for Old Men follows the book almost exactly
>>220525236True
>>220524609Kino, Add Natural Born Killers to the mix too
>>2205252052024 Frankenstein follows the book correctly, and of course there are some additions
>>220525557You wish, Del Taco
>>220525205they left out the part where they do in fact find The American Dream
>>220525557Book accurate Frankenstein woild be about a faggy guy whinning and babbling about places he visited and people he meet and once in a while a monster shows up to talk abot the books he likes.

>>220525236>>220525524It was literally written as a screenplay you midwits
>Don't stop now.......this is bat country>>220525205largely yesMassively underrated movie that was probably overrated at the time. I remember getting a promotional flyer when it came out that had perforations running through it to helpyou make roaches with it.Depp has huge talents as a character actor. He's been miscast through most of his career.benicio del toro's performance was exquisite. He didn't improvise a single word. His character was based on Oscar Acosta who has an autobiographical book called "autobiography of a brown buffalo". I would have loved to see a Gilliam adaptation staring del toro. but it aint gonna happen. Revolt of the cockroach people is another book by acosta that is great. He went missing *whoosh* >>220525236there's a section where llewelyn picks up a teenage hitchhiker that I thought was important that wasn't in the movie.Anyway....mccarthy started out writing it as a film script as he was unhappy with the money you get as a novel writer. Even after writing it as a novel he wrote it in mind of it being adapted into a movie. same with The Road.. The proposition by John Hillcoat was one of the closest movies to Blood meridian on the screen. ITs an amazing movie. A really special one.Hillcoat is supposed to be making a blood meridian adaptation. he shouldn't. there's too much expectation and i dont think it will adapot well to the screen.The Settlers (Los Colonos) is another movie like Blood meridian. The film follows:a British ex-soldier,an American mercenary,and a mixed-race tracker in 1900 who were tasked with ethnically cleansing the patagonian land of a wealthy land owner. its a bit amateurish... but very blood meridian. they shouldnt make a movie of blood meridian.
>>220526172I hate how they casted Peter Boyle as Lazlo in Where the Buffalo Roam over a Chicano/Latin actor

>There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.I think that was fro a preface to one of acosta's books"it was Acosta who pushed Thompson to pursue the theme of the American Dream and indeed provided much of the plot of the novel through his actions in Las Vegas.He asserts that this is likely the reason why Acosta felt so aggrieved, citing various letters and audio recordings of the two men. Acosta even complained to one of Thompson's editors, "Hunter has stolen my soul. He has taken my best lines and has used me.""In May 1974, Acosta disappeared while traveling in Mazatlán, Sinaloa, Mexico. His son, Marco Acosta, believes that he was the last person to talk to his father. Acosta telephoned his son from Mazatlán, telling him that he was "about to board a boat full of white snow." Marco is later quoted in reference to his father's disappearance: "The body was never found, but we surmise that probably, knowing the people he was involved with, he ended up mouthing off, getting into a fight, and getting killed."
>>220526226>Where the Buffalo Roam Yeah. I understand that. I can't really watch it.
>>220526410Fucking loved Joe tho
>>220524609I love this movie so fucking much.
>>220526437Same. My favorite Terry Gilliam film
I don’t know why but every once in awhile I go back and watch the “take the ticket” moment and get tears in my eyes from laughing
