DISQUS

The Weinsteins seemed to have clearly parked their heads up each other's asses ever since they sold off Miramax. They've released a lot of shitty films, and the few movies that have been good have all underperformed. I'm convinced this film will fall in the latter category.

Highly recommend the book "Down and Dirty Pictures" if you want to get some great insight into Miramax and the Weinsteins.

I just finished this book today and it was one of the greatest I ever read. I hope they do the book justice by producing this film...

just another example of why the Weinstein Company needs to be sold to a real studio....they have messed up so many movies over the last couple of years just by withholding their release dates

I finished the book a few weeks ago, and I gotta say I just don't see it making a good movie. That may be because it really didn't make a good book. McCarthy paints fantastically vivid images of this bleak wasteland, but then does nothing with it. The whole book was a series of teases... walk, encounter a potentially dangerous situation, avoid it all together... rinse, repeat. I wasn't looking for The Road Warrior here, but some action or genuine suspense would have been nice. The ending was fairly predictable from early on as well, especially the fate of one of the two main characters. I get it, the father really loves his son, and he shows it by what he's prepared to do as they traipse across the US. Awesome. If he really loved the little shit he would have called him by name once in a while.

But I really enjoyed Hillcoat's The Proposition, so I'm in!

Lol, good one Rob.

Ok I still want to see this and also what the hell is up with not releasing Finshed films? After 6 months on the shelf the interest in it will taper off and hurt more than help. Heck I am still pissed I can't see Outlander.
