Cormac McCarthy died

[Kim_Jong_Poon_]

Fawk, he was just writing the screenplay for Blood Meridian

 

[Meownaw]

Didn't know he was sick. Pat will pretend to be a big fan.

 

[John Wayne Gacy]

Nobody's going to notice when Pat dies, except us. Nice fulfilled life, stupid.

 

[turdcutter]

Vax got him.

I honestly hope the Blood Meridian movie doesn't happen. There's no way it can be done properly, even if he wrote the screenplay.

I'm just curious as to how they're going to go about it. Not expecting much

That will be an egregious fucking lie. There's nothing for Pat in any of his work. No lasers, no spaceships, no quippy, faggy dialogue. And Pat's way too fucking stupid to handle the prose.

Cormac McCarthy dies, but Bigmac McCarthy lives on.

 

[CruisinColin]

Went through Child Of God again recently after reading it ten years ago. Fucking wonderful book.

 

[Naked_Militiaman]

Nice lapsed Catholicism and three failed marriages, stupid.

 

[DeadWithoutMyDavid]

Damn and he was only like 120

[Say “Cookie”]

Why couldn’t it have been Patrick?

Now I understand Shane Nokes' twitter persona: He's a method actor hoping to land the part of Judge Holden.

 

[Rudderman]

With Fat Pat Tomlinson as his body double/stunt performer.

Because of There Will Be Blood, I think Paul Thomas Anderson could manage it. But who the fuck knows. That book is like reading somebody's nightmare. It would have to be adequately depraved whoever takes it on. Give it Panos Cosmatos, the guy who did Mandy. I dunno I'm shitfaced.

 

[Rudderman]

The guy they tabbed, John Hillcoat, is a solid pick. The Proposition is one of the better revisionist westerns (despite being set in Australia) and is suitably violent and depressing, plus he already directed an adaptation of another McCarthy novel, The Road.

 

[TorqueWheeler]

Very sad. I love his work. Nobody on earth will ever give a shit when Patso dies.

 

[Salted Earth Truffle]

Pat thinks McCarthyism is the practice of reading Cormac’s books.
