Subject: RE: BS: The film: The Road
"I did see a movie I didn't like too much, "No Country For Old Men", and it was based on one of his books, but that doesn't necessarily have much to do with him. It has to do with the people who wrote the script and directed the film, I would think. If I have a beef about the movie, it's with the Coen brothers, not with Cormack McCarthy."

But most people I know - and I'm one of them - will tell you that the movie was very faithful to the plot of the book. The differences are few and slight. So why wouldn't you have a problem with the story that was used to make a film you disliked? The film had to come from somewhere. And it came from the mind of Cormack McCarthy.
