Cast it

I dont think it can be properly adapted only because it would bore audiences at the start following the kid through the hermits house and all that.
Once he gets with Glanton it picks up a lot but that begining like 6 or 7 chapters are odd since the passage of time goes fast and then slow then fast again.
Also scenes where the dudes swing babies by the ankles and smash their heads would have to be cut.

it's about a gang of bounty hunters in the old west who rape and murder everything they come across and one of them is a 7 foot tall child rapist/killer with alopecia who never dies

Illiterate zoomers first "based" novel with violence and moral depravity beyond the average hollywood flick.

ah, blood meridian, monsieur? that novel is the sark and chaparral of literature, the filament whereon rode the remuda of highbrow, corraled out of some destitute hacienda upon the arroya, quirting and splurting with main and with pyrolatrous coagulate of lobated grandiloquence. our eyes rode over the pages, monsieur, of that slatribed azotea like argonauts of suttee, juzgados of swole, bights and systoles of walleyed and tyrolean and carbolic and tectite and scurvid and querent and creosote and scapular malpais and shellalagh. we scalped, monsieur, the gantlet of its esker and led our naked bodies into the rebozos of its mennonite and siliceous fauna, wallowing in the jasper and the carnelian like archimandrites, teamsters, combers of cassinette scoria, centroids of holothurian chancre, with pizzles of enfiladed indigo panic grass in the saltbush of our vigas, true commodores of the written page, rebuses, monsieur, we were the mygale spiders too and the devonian and debouched pulque that settled on the frizzen studebakers, listening the wolves howling in the desert while we saw the judge rise out of a thicket of corbelled arches, whinstone, cairn, cholla, lemurs, femurs, leantos, moonblanched nacre, uncottered fistulas of groaning osnaburg and kelp, isomers of fluepipe and halms awap of griddle, guisado, pelancillo.

it's fucking Frisky Dingo

The guy who played that creepy cannibal wildling in GOT could play the judge

Honestly Coen brothers. IIRC they've said they don't want to but I'm confident they would do it justice if they put their minds into it

Its difficult to describe but i read it because tv talked about it. Basically the first 6 chapters follow "the kid" and how he stumbles through life fighting anyone that talks back to him.
Eventually he joined a gang of scalp hunters and they go around killing any indian they see with intermitten talks from "the judge" about how violence and war are at the core of humanity.
Its pretty good but the way its written is kind of hard to follow at times because he will go on describing a scene for awhile while other times he just brushes past things that would seem significant.

Shit, I can see it. He's got a booming deep voice, too. Can't remember how the judge's voice is described though tbqh.

We have our Judge.

it basically takes the American west and turns it into something mythical. It's about a bunch of white men massacring any indian they can find in a hellish nightmare land. Many of the characters and events in the novel are true.

He would have to gain weight. Judge is decribed as huge and with a belly.
I see this as more fitting.

>that ending
I don't know what I expected, but my eyes widened a bit when I got there.

Does the Judge have sex scenes and do you show all of it in graphic detail?

I was just going to say that. I had no idea the Judge was actually a real man. I thought most of it was all made up. Cormac is a fucking hack.

Ehhh Holden very likely wasn't how he was in the book.

Have you read The Deep by the same guy? I actually liked it more than The Troop.

god

No, but it’s on my plan to read. I love Cutter’s prose. Is it as graphic as The Troop?

I haven't decided yet. Does he have them in the book series? There's no way I'm going to read all that.

I had no idea Cormac wrote The Road. I havent seen the movie yet but how does the book compare to Blood Meridian?

Katherine Bigelow

Yes but it is all implied offscreen and exclusively with underage children.

movie never. meme netflix shit series maybe.

>tfw u need 20 good men

It is, but there are no kids involved so it's a different kind of graphic. Lots of great body horror towards the end as everything spirals into insanity, but the setting (tiny lab 7 miles below sea level) allows for some equally unsettling moments of claustrophobia and isolation.

smashing the kids boipuss

That actor is huge tho, he's like 6'5. With a little bit of weight and an American accent, I can't imagine a better Judge Holden.

needs a turbo workout tho

Kind of a hard question, as they're so different. There are moments of depravity on par with Blood Meridian, but they're less frequent. The Road is much more "accessible" in that he doesn't wax poetic for pages like he does in Blood Meridian.

Thanks to True Detective, that guy will never not creep me out. He played that part so well my brain has a hard time separating him from the character.

you could watch Barry to cleanse your pallet he's pretty funny in that

Thanks thats what i was looking for. The writing style got me lost a few times in Blood Meridian. Ill do The Road next.

I only got 2 episodes into Barry. The police scenes were so unfunny i couldnt go on. Im not sure what tone the show was trying to take because it was so inconsistent. Also wtf that dude got his teeth shaven and then hes fine like the next scene, is it suppose to be like a cartoon?

Death

literally filtered. the prose is amazing, especially the descriptions of setting/landscape

Massive missed opportunity to make Apu the little retard he kept as a pet in that picture

seething Harry Potter fan

It's quite bleak, but worth a read. He won the Pulitzer for that one, for what it's worth. Only other McCarthy I've read is No Country For Old Men, it was also fantastic. The movie adaptation is almost flawless, but it's worth it for McCarthy's prose.

>is it suppose to be like a cartoon?
some scenes are definitely cartoonish especially that one episode from season 2 that might be the best thing that ever happened on television
I suggest you keep watching it grows on you

you can pretty much go backwards from his most recent to his earliest works and they get 'harder' to read imo. his first stuff is like faulker in style; i got lost quite a bit during the orchard keeper

No. I unironically just enjoy how nonsensical that pasta gets at the end. I really enjoy that book however.

It's not the words it's the run on sentences and the lack of punctuation because Corncob thinks it's for plebs

Read Recollections of a Rogue by Samuel Chamberlain, the memoir on which Blood Meridian is based and the only historical record of Judge Holden. Not exactly the surreal demigod of war, of course, but he's described as brilliant with a lot of esoteric knowledge, the cruelest man Chamberlain ever met, a pedophile, and with a strange influence on Glanton.

And I'd cast Clancy Brown. See Carnivale. The Judge needs presence.

>in the book series
kill yourself, you disgusting pig

Young Clancy was the perfect choice. Too old now, I think.
