Movie: No Country for Old Men

nocountry.jpegI forgot to alert the world to the fact that Pam and I watched "No Country for Old Men." That was a strange movie. In places, it skipped over entire scenes, letting you guess or assume what happened (and it was usually at least somewhat apparent).

I was okay with it right up until the end. And then...it just ended. The Coen brothers decided, "Okay, we've filmed enough, got our two-hours' worth. Let's stop here." At that point, the movie became very unsatisfying. And that last Tommy Lee Jones scene: I have no idea what that was about, but I'm sure it was artistically relevant in some high-Hollywoodish way.

About Me

Steve DennieCareer-wise, I've been hanging around and writing about and cheering on churches and pastors for the past 25 years as my denomination's Communications Director.
I write primarily for my own amusement. If anyone wants to eavesdrop, they're welcome to it. My heartbeat is serving God faithfully through the local church. But my posts repeatedly stray into sports, politics, movies, and other nonsense.
I've been blogging since 2004, and it's been fun. Please understand that, though I work for the United Brethren in Christ denomination, the nonsense I spew out here comes from my own semi-functional brain in a totally personal, non-official capacity. Yes, that's a disclaimer.
