Chas and I saw No Country for Old Men a week or two ago, and we both really liked it. We’re both fans of Cormac McCarthy and the Coen Brothers, so that was probably to be expected, but what could not be predicted was a fucking crazy scene in which Josh Brolin is chased by a terrifying dog. It’s one of the most insane chase scenes I’ve ever seen, and it was awesome and hilarious and scary, and it stood out in a film already full of some pretty amazing stuff.

Anyway: Time has a great piece up in which the Coens and the reclusive McCarthy sit down and talk about No Country, Five Easy Pieces, killer dogs, and McCarthy’s beef with magical realism (“You know, it’s hard enough to get people to believe what you’re telling them without making it impossible. It has to be vaguely plausible”). Definitely worth reading. No Country for Old Men comes out on November 9.
