Ignore any auditions for Judge Holden by method actors for everyone's safety/sanity

Why is this the only book that guys over 18 seem to read? Like you all read it once and then stop reading fiction all together.

This could only work if it was written and directed by James Franco
The Judge as Vincent D'onofrio
The Kid as Dave Franco
Toadvine as Danny McBride

Tell the story from the perspective of a Mexican soldier fighting back against the evil white invaders. Also make sure the Judge and anyone who says the n word are killed at the end because racism cannot go unpunished

Coen Brothers mini series with a cast of up and comers. No restrictions on the gore. Coens have full creative control. This is the only way to get a good BM adaption and even then it'll still probably be sub-par.

I would probably not do that and then just read the book and be content that things exist as they are.

because it's full of action and easier to read than a, lets say, dickens or joyce. it's like an a24 movie -- it makes midwits feel smart

it is. just because cormac doesn't use punctuation, it doesn't mean his prose is difficult; it's actually easily digestible. have you read any dickens beyond a christmas carol?

i'm ESL and though i have no trouble reading authors like dickens, joyce, mccarthy, delillo (without a dictionary because i'm very smart), i don't think it is at all bold of me to state that the prose in david copperfield or great expectations is less arcane, less opaque, more accessible to the general reader than the outright abstruse verbiage that litters every blood-soaked page in blood meridian. i mean cone on.

I'd make it an action comedy with The Rock as the judge, Tom Holland as the kid & Pedro Pascal as Glanton. Featuring Kevin Hart as the idiot.

The black reared his head at the sight of the lubricious form of the judge's pale phallus serpentine it wandered gazing out into the world as an infant unborn and yet undesired brought into the world cold and pale and unbreathing. Its pillaric form shone brightly in the void the pillar stood mute upon the black promontory a monolith wrought in obscene geometry. The Judge took to a foul chimeric cacophany of grunting as his member penetrated serene the fistula of the niggers anus dark and unmoving in that sea of serpentine parades the Judge set to stirring up the very soul and the thrice uncottered dreams of the buck were fetched as if a pulque upon the sunborn indigo infant of the world yet unawakened in this land or any other. His breaking came forth as if unbidden into that old night the shadows long and gristled as each thrust was delivered ungouged and unrequited it's eldritch desire can be found buried deep within the hearts of men. As some titan cherubim this pale form let out a cry in the tongues not of man or beast but like to an infernal register unheard in this world since that brought forth tears from the eyes of the watchers and were rendered as stars that danced like naked pygmies upon the bastion of Babylon.The watchers members taken also in hand at their opportunity to arrive unbidden into the bastion of that forsaken womb to bring forth not a child of god but a buck rendered broken upon the firmament which would render the dreams of that infernal race delivered asunder unto the world, writhing and unformed but yet natural in the land that conjured it.

you heard it here first: Villeneuve will direct it in the next 10 years.
and obviously, Chamalet will be the kid
