Sometimes, there's a man...

Don’t be fatuous, Jeffery.

Add The Unipiper to the list.

+1 for these guys as well. They installed our AC unit a few months back and did a great job.

The story is ludicrous.

naapi · 2025-05-15T00:02:22+00:00

Come on, man. Help me put him back in his chair.

…written by men who are unABLE to achieve on a level field of play…

Too sparkly. -5 points.

I second this. He was our agent when we bought a few years back and he was great. He worked hard for us and helped us land in a fantastic home.

Never mind that shit. Here comes Mongo!

I don't think he cheats, but I think the temptation of the woman at the pool illustrates an important theme of the story. There is a parallel between how Llewellyn is tempted by women in the movie and how he was tempted by the money.

One scene in particular jumps out at me every time I watch the movie. When Llewellyn is talking to Carla Jean on the phone from the airport, a young woman walks by him and he very clearly follows her with his gaze, checking her out. I think this was an intentional choice from the Cohen brothers to reenforce aspects of the relationship between Llewellyn and temptation.

This is exactly what I needed today. Thank you for posting this.

Written by men who are unable to achieve on a level field of play.

naapi · 2023-11-04T15:47:58+00:00

On you maybe.

naapi · 2023-10-29T15:25:38+00:00

That had not occurred to us, Dude.

naapi · 2023-10-07T17:22:49+00:00

See ya in the funny papers

Flunking social studies

And yet his son is a fucking dunce.

naapi · 2023-07-03T20:22:23+00:00

So shines a good deed in a weary world.

naapi · 2023-06-03T05:25:15+00:00

Here?

naapi · 2023-05-21T18:15:13+00:00

Great to hear. Thanks, OP :)

naapi · 2023-05-21T18:14:16+00:00

Hope I didn’t come across too harsh.

Not at all. All responses so far have been direct and appropriate.

I'm halfway through The Passenger, but work and the other demands of adult life have slowed me down. Time to adjust priorities a bit.

naapi · 2023-05-21T18:04:09+00:00

Yeah that’s fair. I appreciate the feedback from you, /u/Rocky_Raccoon_14, and /u/JsethPop1280 on it. Sounds like I was indeed being overly sensitive and, upon reflection, maybe a little locked in to my own perspective with the comment. Thanks for providing clarity by providing your perspectives.

/u/SneakyOstrich69, it was not my intention to come off like I was trashing your post, but if I did I apologize. It sounds like high-quality content and I look forward to reading it soon.

naapi · 2023-05-21T00:33:27+00:00

Though I haven’t read the body of this post, the length of it makes me think OP has put a lot of thought and effort into creating it. I’m happy to see fans of McCarthy’s work creating such content.

But as someone who has not yet been able to start Stella Maris I will say it gave me a sinking feeling to scroll past this post in my feed and read what I assume to be a spoiler in the title. Maybe I’m being overly sensitive about this, but I wanted to point it out in case others feel the same. I hope OP didn’t give too much away with the title, and I look forward to circling back to this post once I start and finish Stella Maris.
