I agree that there has never come a great film from a great book (maybe Lolita), but I think BM's long, drawn out descriptions of the beauty and vastness of the west interspersed with short, intense, horrifying violence would translate well to a film

there's like 30 minutes worth of plot and the rest of it is just descriptions of the desert.

nabokov called faulkner corncobby not mccarthy dude. moreover, two other mccarthy books were already made into mainstream hollywood movies.

Tarantino makes pulp fiction and cheesey action. Fun but not the correct director. Cohen brothers would do it better, I really liked No Country.

it's mostly violence, gore, and bigotry, because it's largely historically based

dude, django unchained was the closest thing to an odyssey movie anyone has done that i can remember. also, you think blood meridian isn't cheesy action? the black guy cutting the white guy's head off with one swing of a bowie knife wasn't cheesy action to you?

>> No.21717045

Django was just a standard revenge story though. Blood Meridian is violent but it’s not cheese action. It’s literary fiction for its cultural and historical significance first and foremost.

The expectations for it are too high, and casting it is a nightmare. Imagine a perfect poem that embodies Blood Meridian. Film and adapting it has even more things that could go wrong.
