I always imagined the judge as Vincent D'onofrio

I WILL NEVER DIE

Judge Holden

Glaston: Tom Hardy
Kid: Garfield spiderman
Judge: the rock (based on proportions and hair)

This is probably the only actor that's completely hairless.

>Judge: the rock (based on proportions and hair)
kill yourself.
the rock's acting range is that of a homosexual hobo in a backyard faggot porno. ironic, since hei s a legit fruitcake that likes to suck dicks

Try reading my post next time nigger

The Judge.

>Glaston: Tom Hardy
>Kid: Garfield spiderman
These are good but the Judge is not #LITTY

Idris Elba
Kevin James
Lupita Nyong'o
Chadwick Boseman
Daniel Kaluuya
Chiwetel Ejiofor
Michael B. Jordan
Rob Schneider

judge: michael shannon

Someone mentioned the guy who played Ed Kemper in Mindhunter as a possible choice

So do you think the Kid got raped, or killed, or both?

Both
by the bear

I got your Judge Holden right here

>Judge: the rock (based on proportions and hair)
I actually think this would work, though the Rock is too dark skinned

No because it fucking sucks and its for the gay "grimdark must mean authentic" crowd that always let McCarthy splooge all over their collective psyche. Pic related is a miles better western, it's got better action sequences, more historical accuracy, it's funny as fuck, cover's more of the period, and EVEN has a superior and vastly more truthful depiction of the Glanton Gang and scalp hunters in general. (P-P-PROTIP: you do not need to overdo the Glanton Gang, they were more interesting in real life than in this shit) I heartily advise you burn any McCarthy books you have and use the money you save on heating to buy the entire Flashman series, this one in particular.

Nah, anyone but the rock, his expressions are too cliche'

Fat Marlon Brando from Apocalypse now would make the best Judge

>it's got better action sequences
>action sequences
Flew right over your head

it's just "everything is grim and all the people are mean waaah waaaahhh" bollocks we get from McCarthy in everything. I could not be more bored with the notion that horrible actions, described in grim sparse language, are any mark of quality. I hate McCarthy. Post the best passage from Blood Meridian that you can find and i'll BTFO it with a quote from Flashy. Bring it on.

This is why the school days should be longer

Your opinion is worthless

The quality of the book has nothing to do with violence. You outed yourself as a teenager.

Clancy Brown as the Judge

McCarthy is a weedy whiny cuck who's wife dovrced him for being a pathetic moper. It's pretty clear from his work. Keep on clinging to the idea that his work is worth anything, or that enjoying it imparts you with good taste. Still waiting on an example of his writing that displays this books genius. Been years since i read it. Just remember it being shit.

give me a passage. let me show you.

underrated actor

Neither, he raped and killed the bear girl that went missing. Holden embraces him because the Kid finally forsook the last bit of goodness he had.

You mean copy/paste a passage from the book? And then you copy/paste a passage from another book? I don't get it.

let me show you how much better the writing in Flashman and the Redskins is. It's objectivly the better book. Yes i know what objectivly means.

I am curious as to how this works but can't you just post a passage from Flashman and tell us why it is better? I wikipedia'd it but that wasn't very helpful.

How do you know this?

>Judge: the rock

Too smol

>who's wife dovrced him for being a pathetic moper.
which wife?

they could never do it justice. just face it

Maybe some people like grim. The Road (Both the book and the film) will drag your mind through dirty broken glass and you will thank Cormac for it. Blood Meridian would do the same and you know it.

This. Its a story for the written form. It could never translate to film. Especially Judge Holden.

doesnt franco own the rights?
and would this ever be able to be made into the movie it truely deserves, or its going to be some pg13 bullshit YA novel treatment

Will keep posting this until it happens

How'd I do Sup Forums?
Directed by Justin Kurzel
12 part miniseries
DOP Adam Arkapaw

Unknown as the kid
Dave Bautista drenched in white makeup as the Judge
Josh Brolin as Glanton
Jeremy Davies as Tobin
Sam Rockwell as Toadvine
Isaac C. Singleton Jr as Black Jackson
Sid Haiges as Davy Brown
Jeff Bridges as Grannyrat
Nick Cave as Bathcat and OST
Woody Harrelson as Captain White

The score should be minimal, mostly for ambience

Make the opening credits an ultra close up of someone getting scalloped followed by shots of open landscape with Ben Nichols' The Judge playing over it

It's a personal interpretation to an ambiguous scene

>pg13
>Blood Meridian
Words do not describe my disgust

If it were 10 years ago I would've picked Rutger Hauer for the judge but he's too old now.

>doesnt franco own the rights?
YES
>nd would this ever be able to be made into the movie it truely deserves, or its going to be some pg13 bullshit YA novel treatment
that is a truly terrible thought but I think it would be disappointing in a different way. A lot of what makes the book compelling is McCarthy's biblical, mythological language. In the film form I think it would just be an edgy "not your dad's western" kind of thing.

>In the dawn there is a man progressing over the plain by means of holes which he is making in the ground. He uses an implement with two handles and he chucks it into the hole and he enkindles the stone in the hole with his steel hole by hole striking the fire out of the rocks which God has put there. On the plain behind him are the wanderers in search of bones and those who do not search and they move haltingly in the light like mechanisms whose movements are monitored with escapement and pallet so that they appear restrained by a prudence or reflectiveness which has no inner reality and they cross in their progress one by one that track of holes that runs to the rim of the visible ground and which seems less the pursuit of some continuance than the verification of a principle, a validation of sequence and causality as if each round and perfect hole owed its existence to the one before it there on that prairie upon which are the bones and the gatherers of bones and those who do not gather. He strikes fire in the hole and draws out his steel. Then they all move on again.

>scalloped
Kek

Dave Bautista is not charismatic or articulate enough. Not by a long shot. Josh Brolin is too old.

I never understood this at the ending. What is it about?

unironically brendan frasier, i think he could pull it off

I could see it

Litty
Why are so autistic

>The second in command, now left in charge of the camp, was a man of gigantic size who rejoiced in the name of Holden, called Judge Holden of Texas. Who or what he was no one knew, but a more cool-blooded villain never went unhung. He stood six foot six in his moccasins, had a large, fleshy frame, a dull, tallow-colored face destitute of hair and all expression, always cool and collected. But when a quarrel took place and blood shed, his hog-like eyes would gleam with a sullen ferocity worthy of the countenance of a fiend.

Simply an extended metaphor of man progressing through the ruins of the old world

Why have so many people read this book?

Manifest destiny, tradition, causality, the rape of the American west, take your pick

I trust Franco would do the right thing, he has been trying to get this made for a while. but when big studios get involved they fuck it up! Maybe after the #metoo thing blows over with him he can do a kick starter or something, to make the movie that needs to be made

Mike Tyson and a centaur.

Post the unshopped version

Brendan Gleeson as the Judge

Why is anyone even pretending anyone else would be half as good

>we live inside a dream

Franco has a PhD in literature so I think he recognizes by this point that it is unfilmable and if you did make it you would be impossible to market. In the end I suspect he is keeping the rights safe from those who would exploit it.

>Sam Rockwell as Toadvine
that is the only good suggestion in your list. I always pictured him as Jackie Earle Haley though

>I think he recognizes by this point that it is unfilmable
The same guy that directed As I Lay Dying? I wouldn't be too sure about that chief

My god. I knew there was a reason i hated this book so much. Thanks for reminding me. This is hand typed so forgive the long wait:

> But in that spring every human specimen in North America seemed to have assembled at Kansas Landing for the great trek west - labourers white and black and olive, bronzed hunters and pale clerks, sober emigrants and raffish adventurers, harassed women with aprons and baskets prodding at vegetables set out before store-front and slapping the children who bawled around their skirts; red-faced traders in stove pipe hats and thumbs hooked in fancy weskits, spitting juice; soldiers in long boots and blue breeches, their sabres on the table among the beer mugs; Mexicans in serapes and huge brimmed sombreros leading a file off mules; farmers in straw hats and faded overalls; skinners with coiled whips, lounging on their rigs; bearded ruffians in greasy buckskins, bright with beadwork, two foot bowies gleaming on their hips, chattering through their noses in a language which i recognized to my amazement as Scotch Gaelic; bright eyed harpies watchful in shack doorways; spanish riders in ponchos and and feathered bonnets, their sashes stuffed with flintlock pistols; a party of Indians beneath the trees, faces grotesquely painted , hatchets at their belts and lances stacked; silent plainsmen in fur caps and long fringed skirts, carrying buffalo guns and powder horns; a coach gaurd with two six shooters at his hips, two five shooters in his waistband, a slung revolving rifle, a broad sword, and a knife in his boot - oh and he was gnawing at a toothpick too; an incredibly lean and ancient hunter, white beared to the waist, dressed in ragged deerskin and a billycock hat, his "nail driver" rifle across the crupper of his mule, staring ahead like a fakir in a trance as he rode slowly up the street, his slovenly indian squaw at his stirrup, through the crowds of loafers and porters and barefoot boys scuffling under the wagons (cont)

"No!"

Are you fucking retards fucking serious?

Dull

Aren't you now supposed to explain why it is better?

I’ve read this 3 times and I have no fucking clue what is going on. The words just glaze over me. None of them stick. Am I a brainlet?

yes

> (cont) , the swaggering french voyaguers, gaudy and noisy, the drummers and counter jumpers and sharp faced yankees, planters and crooks and rivermen, trappers and miners and plain honest folk wondering how they'd strayed into this Babel - and those are only the ones i noticed in the first mile or so.
But Soft! who is this stalwart figure with the dashing whiskers so admirably set of by his wideawake hat and fringed deerskin shirt, a new patent Colt repeater strapped to his manly rump, his well turned shanks encased in new boots which are pinching the bejeezus out of him? Can it be other than Arapaho Harry, Scourge of the plains? that alert and smouldering eye must oft have hardened at the sound of the shrill war whoop, or narrowed behind the sights as he nailed the rampant grizzly - now it is soft and genial as he chivvies the dusky whores into the back of the cart, an indulgent smile playing across his noble features. Mark the grace with which he vaults nimbly into the drivers seat beside the bedizened trot with the feathered bonnet - his aunt doubtless- and with an expert chuck of the reins sets the team in motion and bogs the whole contraption axle deep in the gumbo. The whores squeak in alarm, the aunt - his WIFE, you say? rails and adjusts her finery, but the gallant frontiersman unperturbed save for a blistering oath which mantles the cheeks of his fair companion in blushes, is equal to the emergency; for two bits he gets a gang of loafers to haul them out. The western journey is not without its trials; it is going to be a long trek to California. (fin)

Can you smell the environment he describes? you can see the west before your very eyes. descriptive, accurate and funny. they are certainly different books with different aims, but the difference in enjoy ability is like night and day. George Macdonald Frasers writing has never been surpassed. Certainly not by the proto-emo McCarthy

The Kid

Thinking that good writing is about description is very pleb tier.

You impatient retards could have waited for the second part.

no it's just pointless bollocks man. It's the literary equivalent of pretentious art house cinema. note how the reaction of these fags is the same one you'd get criticizing the film school kids favorite french queer flick. It's the Danish Girl of books.

not really. its a book, you cannot see what the author has imagined and he has to relate it to you in words. Flashman does far and away a superior job without resorting to cheap overblown prose.

the evil guy from true detective with some CGI would make a good judge

Toadvine: Adam Driver
Tobin: John Hawkes

So by that scale I guess Harry Potter is better than all of these and is indeed NOT the dullest franchise.

>mass reply
>posting sections from a book to prove it's superiority!?!?!?!?
>shitting up a good thread trying to push generic western hack garbage
fuck off

nytimes.com/1992/04/19/magazine/cormac-mccarthy-s-venomous-fiction.html?pagewanted=all

Because I enjoyed it.

>the Danish Girl
film student here. No one in film school talks about the Danish Girl. In fact I don't think anyone in the world does. Frankly that was a very strange analogy.

Walton Goggins would be great as toadvine

...

No because Harry potter never comes close to this level of description and doesn't make you laugh out loud every chapter. Go read some of the reviews you pleb literally the only criticism of Flashman is that "it's not very politically correct". Literally the only flaw people can find with this book is the truth offends some people

Do your homework young man. Flashman is not just a western book but a series of adventures that cover the entire 18th century, the book prior to this has him shanghaied on a slave ship whence he goes slaving in Africa in graphic detail, the author of this book manages to make the slave trade a romping adventure, other's include the Opium Wars, the Sepoy Rebellion, his wife getting kidnapped by Borneo pirates, Afghanistan and the Charge of the light Brigade. Fraser is no hack, unlike McCarthy he lived a real life, first fighting in Burma against the Japs (he killed several with a bayonet) and then in the Palestine emergency before becoming a newspaper editor in Scotland and working in Hollywood with people like Marlon Brando, Clint Eastwood, and steve Mcqueen. Literally the only reason a fag like you never heard of him is because he offends modern fee fee's. Each book is meticulously researched and has an appendix of notes explain the historical accuracy (bar Flashy's presence).

read the reviews if you doubt me. The only complaint is that some delicate little souls like you can't deal with the truth when a real man lays it down for you. One of the best selling and most highly regarded series of the 20th century.

not really, they were both marketed for tasteless queers.

*blocks your path*

Koontz tier

Errol from TD as Holden

So... just description. Is that the only point you were trying to make?

glanton: josh brolin
judge holden: michael shannon in a suit
the kid: lucas hedges

Chris Heyerdahl jor the Judge

>6'4
>top tier voice
>played one if the best antagonists in recent tv memory (the swede)

A bit thin, but with some diet/creative bulking of the costume he would be 10/10

michael shannon is too gaunt around the face and just looks mean. judge is supposed to be pudgy and congenial

did you miss the second part?

Your so very clever I hope you make momma proud son.

Not even your dubs would convince me to read Flashman. It is hokey writing. If you love the books so much, go jerk off about them in /lit/ or something. Or did they tell you that Flashman is shit there too?

I take that as a yes. You got a few more years of school left you'll get it eventually.

What did user mean by this?
