@twotonsushi Good point. and they shouldn't have had a problem with voice overs -- Martin Scorsese has used it to great effect.

@twotonsushi actually, mccarthy encoured the voice-overs...he said it helped deliver much of the narrative that would be otherwise lost in a book so largely dominated by the storytelling itself.

Ah, McCarthy relinquished control over the script...that explains what went wrong...voiceovers are said to be a no-no in Hollywood - you should "show" rather than "tell"...the movie suffered greatly as a result...the novel is a voiceover; the entire relevance of the tale is lost without it...the father's thoughts lend breadth, depth and ultimately meaning...even minimal voiceovers, as in The Shawshank Redemption could have salvaged the story's transition from written word to screen...sad...

@MaximusDowns I would pay a lot of money to be able to sit and have a talk with Cormac.

If you loved his novel so much, why did you fuck up its legacy in your shitty, forgettable movie? (Oh well, it was the weakest of the 3 CM novels I've read so far anyway.)

wow, to be able to meet cormac mccarthy in person, it'd be like meeting Hemingway
