Any recommendations for someone who habitually watches No Country for Old Men?
If you like Cormac McCarthy then i'd also recommend The Road which was directed by John Hillcoat. Hillcoat also directed The Proposition which is a decent Western if you like that sort of thing.
As far as films similar to NCFOM, maybe Hell or High Water? I personally didn't care for it too much but some people seem to like it.

"The Road" was shockingly optimistic for McCarthy
In the lingering absence of an adaptation of "Blood Meridian," perhaps try this one by Nick Cave?

@canoeclub I do love NCFOM and I enjoyed "Hell and High Water." It's less stylised than "No Country…" and is a sadder film with a clear social conscience.

I’ve been waiting for a film adaptation of Blood Meridian for ever.

I've rewatched Nolan's Batman trilogy this week. Great stuff and I still like Batman Begins and The Dark Knight Rises way more than The Dark Knight. I'm still feeling it's way too overhyped and the other two are simply better.

Finally got around to seeing The Watchmen and thought it was ok. Didn’t need to see Dr Manhattan’s blue dong though [emoji15]

Kin: 7/10
I know a lot of reviews trashed this movie but I liked it. If you like sci-fi then this might be up your alley. Pacing was slow but I liked the actors and didn’t think the script was terrible

Vice lools like it is going to be pretty good. It's crazy Bale gained so much weight to play Dick Cheney. He is a pretty versatile actor.
Bale from The Machinist:

Awesome. It's great when celebrities are nice people. Makes me want to see this even more now.

Got to meet Christian Bale many years ago at a screening of The Fighter. Super nice and personable.
tell that to the director of photography for Terminator Salvation
[emoji23]
I was gonna mention Bale’s meltdown on this movie. I’m sure there’s audio out there somewhere

In fairness to Bale, that movie suuuucked.

It sure did. Looked promising but then just falls apart

The only pieces of the Terminator franchise I enjoyed were 1 and 2, and I found them to be superb. The universe gets stale after that for me.

They are making a new ome with Linda Hamilton. It's supposed to be more like T2. I am cautiously optimistic.

James Cameron is involved too so definitely has promise

Yeah. It's a shame the movies have been so bad. I really liked The Sarah Conner Chronicles, so it's possible to do decent stories in that universe. For whatever reason, they just haven't been able to do a decent movie after T2.
Maybe Cameron and Hamilton can do it…
