I remember one chilly night at the ballpark
When the game was so dull, a fan was heckling the churro vendor. He had the guy’s timing down perfectly and whenever the vendor would open his mouth, before he could speak, the fan would yell “STONE COLD CHURROS HERE! GET’CHA STONE COLD STICKS OF LARD!”

The Big Lebowski is one of my favorites.
And that one’s up there in weirdness.
But the one that wasn’t weird (No Country for Old Men) was one of the best I’ve seen in years.

But now, it’s one of the ones I can watch at any time. Got tremendously better on repeat viewings, as well.

I saw at the movies and everyone in the crowd was confused that the
ending was TL Jones telling a story about his Dad.
That's what I had heard.
I’ve heard the ending was almost a line for line copy of the book’s ending.
Please remedy my confusion
and thrust me back to the day.
The silence of your seclusion

It's definitely not an expected ending, book or movie
But it takes some going back and thinking about it a little before it makes a bit more sense. It’s like, no matter what, things will go on all around you, good and bad, much of which you have no control over. That’s more or less what I got out of it though.

I chalk it up to Cormac McCarthy and his style
For starters, you have to get past his lack of punctuation in his writing, but for a book that’s about Chigurh going around killing people and the drug money and all that, you expect a big action-filled finale instead of the hotel scene and the talky end.
It’s different.

But at least if you can get the ground ball, you always have a good chance to flirt with disaster and get out of it.

It literally tastes like turpentine smells to me. I will eat virtually anything, even cilantro (now, I’ve kind of trained myself) but I still think the stuff is nasty and never, ever cook with it. Ever.

Very close play, but Merriweather got it right.

Flowing locks, now shorn, his piercing eyes, his smile
And he was in Sacto while EPat had a trial
In Oakland’s outfield! Oh, where is justice?

And every night, my eyes half-shut,
