Quote from Stumpy

Today I rented and viewed the latest "highly recommended" Coen Brothers offering, "No Country For Old Men", starring Tommy Lee Jones, Josh Brolin and some Spaniard I've never heard of named Javier Bardem. It won four Oscars, including best picture. It wasn't what I would call a bad movie, though the plot had more holes than a sieve. Not sure I would have voted it best picture though.

I almost rented that one today myself but decided to wait and see what others had to say about it. Stumpy, would you recommend a rental?

I do try to look at the positive things in life.

The only, and I mean ONLYpositive I can get out of this is maybe this movie will introduce John Wayne (somehow) to some of the younger audiences who had never heard of Duke. Just a thought.

I have a question about this movie. Near the beginning when those guys are about to be hanged, isn't one of them Jay Silverheels (Tonto)? If it is, I guess he must have shot The Lone Ranger in the back.
