I'm on the same boat here. Coffee should only be a drink not made into a chocolate choice/filling

From our friends at imdb

In rural Texas, welder and hunter Llewelyn Moss discovers the remains of several drug runners who have all killed each other in an exchange gone violently wrong. Rather than report the discovery to the police, Moss decides to simply take the two million dollars present for himself. This puts the psychopathic killer, Anton Chigurh, on his trail as he dispassionately murders nearly every rival, bystander and even employer in his pursuit of his quarry and the money. As Moss desperately attempts to keep one step ahead, the blood from this hunt begins to flow behind him with relentlessly growing intensity as Chigurh closes in. Meanwhile, the laconic Sherrif Ed Tom Bell blithely oversees the investigation even as he struggles to face the sheer enormity of the crimes he is attempting to thwart.

Make of it what you will (WTF am I typing??)

Cheers, but the movie, and ending made no sense. What happened like?

haha touché. And im here asking people are they busy. Jesus between the two of us we'll get nothing done. If only I could submit my draft as my thesis. That'd be great. The 4 weeks of build would be essays that count towards continuous assesment, and the ppv would be the summer exam. You'd have to memorise your storylines and build for the exam. That'd be just lovely

Although, then we couldn't use wikipedia as a source of reference.

Read the book, it's a little less confusing.

CCFC given another stay of execution. More lives than a cat.

I was looking for a quicker answer than that

Here.

In the end, Ed Tom (Jones) has already decided on retirement (life) rather than bringing the killer (Bardem) to justice. He knows he found the killer. The Sheriff retires because he realizes that the country he covers (south Texas) is No Country for Old Men. So in the end, he sits at the table and tells his wife about a dream: he heads into snowy, dangerous mountains (his life as a sheriff), and a man goes on ahead of him to await him (the killer still awaits). And then he woke up to the fact that in real life he was acting out this dream. So in the end, rather than live the nightmarish, lethal continuation of the dream, he wakes up to choosing the safer life of retirement. He has taken the lesson from his forcibly retired colleague in the wheelchair: a life of disability isn't worth it.

Actually, the Coen brothers left a big clue when Sheriff Ed Tom goes to the hotel room (behind the crime scene yellow tape) where the assassin, Chigurh, waits. Chigurh has shot the lock cylinder out, indicating to Ed that it's Chigurh's doing, and BOTH of them watch the other's movement in the reflection in the shiny lock tube. Ed Tom draws his pistol and enters for a search, and realizes the killer is still within, given the locked window in the far room.

"Momma, take this badge offa me, ... I feel I'm knockin on heaven's door." -- Bob Dylan, and it's beautifully captured on Jones' old, wincing face when he sits on the bed. So rather than shoot it out, he trusts the killer not to kill him, and he walks out, without pushing it to the point where the killer's other victims utter, "You don't have to do that."

So rather than risk his life, he lets go of capturing his quarry and retires.

Recall that the Sheriff is narrating the past at the beginning of the movie, a clue that he's still alive after the action of the rest of the movie.

Telling his wife of the dream is the final act of letting go of his job, and the movie screen goes black.

Sorry for the need to highlighting.

I'd say it'd nearly be a relief at this stage if they just wound ye up and ye started from scratch. Gutting obviously, but its just such a mess. Roddy Collins like? Jesus.:eek:

Ya, one way or other I am done Id say. I could not in good conscience be a fan of a club managed by that "individual". Complete joke of a club. To think that when we won the league in 2005, people were calling for the then chairmans head because he did not spend enough money to maintain the same level! If he were still there, we would be winning back to back titles now. No doubt.

On a side note - anyone else feeling like stabbing themselves in the ears anytime they hear that godawful "10000 fireflies" song on the radio? Bloody hell, its absolutely AWFUL.

Of all songs to hate nowadays its the Fireflies one? I prefer it to the Jedward song.
