    That's a great trailer. It makes the movie look a little hokey at first and then it spirals into some really dark themes.

    Cormac McCarthy knows how to write some epic fiction so I can't wait to see this movie. I think I'm also going to try to read the novel first…

    I never read "No Country For Old Men", so I don't know his style. But I think this novel appeals to me more than that "No Country". Perhaps if I have time I will try and read it as well.

    His style is exaclty "No Country for Old Men". It was such a faithful adaptation that you'd think McCarthy had written the screenplay. I'm hoping The Road is the same. This time I'm going to read the book first so I can get the most out of it before seeing the onscreen incarnation.

    Wow, that is really dark. Looks gripping though. Saying I'm looking forward to it would sound weird, but I think you know what I mean. :)

    This movie is going to be great. I enjoyed the book and will enjoy this movie.

    Any thoughts on why Esquire calls it "the most important film of the year"? I haven't read the book, so I don't know what themes it touches upon that make it above the typical post-apocalyptic story?

    Well the book tells the story of a unnamed man and his child trying to survive to make it to the coast. It really has to do with the relationship between father and son and some truth to their travel. At one point in the book, they come to the realization that they might die either by the hands of the cannibalistic survivors that seem to be everywhere, or by starvation. The best part of the book is at the end which I won't spoil for you but it is a great way to end the book.
