Hartford would be the place to meet up.

Anice. Give me a time and place and I\'l be there. I already took the day off in expectation of some sort of pre-game or dinner.

I **** love having the power to make my own schedule.

I keep reading really good reviews and seeing ads for this, it looks soo good.  Color me annoyed.

Misguided souls will tell you that No Country for Old Men is out for blood, focused on vengeance and unconcerned with the larger world outside a standard-issue suspense plot. Those people, of course, are deaf, dumb and blind to anything that isn\'t spelled out between commercials on dying TV networks. Joel and Ethan Coen\'s adaptation of Cormac McCarthy\'s 2005 novel is an indisputably great movie, at this point the year\'s very best. Set in 1980 in West Texas, where the chase is on for stolen drug money, the film — a new career peak for the Coen brothers, who share writing and directing credits — is a literate meditation (scary words for the Transformers crowd) on America\'s bloodlust for the easy fix. It\'s also as entertaining as hell, which tends to rile up elitists. What do the criminal acts of losers in a flyover state have to do with the life of the mind? .

OK, then. How does No Country for Old Men stack up against the best work of these artfully merry pranksters? Near the top, I\'d say. There are echoes of Fargo when a deputy declares, "It\'s a mess, ain\'t it, Sheriff?" and the sheriff answers, "If it ain\'t, it\'ll do till the mess gets here." And admirers of Blood Simple, Miller\'s Crossing, Barton Fink and even The Big Lebowski will find tasty bits of bright and bleak to noodle on. But this landmark of a movie is fresh territory for the Coens, accused, often unfairly, of glib facility and lack of passionate purpose. Screw that. Not since Robert Altman merged with the short stories of Raymond Carver in Short Cuts have filmmakers and author fused with such devastating impact as the Coens and McCarthy. Good and evil are tackled with a rigorous fix on the complexity involved. Recent movies about Iraq have pushed hard to show the growing dehumanization infecting our world. No Country doesn\'t have to preach or wave a flag — it carries in its bones the virus of what we\'ve become. The Coens squeeze us without mercy in a vise of tension and suspense, but only to force us to look into an abyss of our own making.

ok I went to the official site for the flick and it opens nationally on Nov. 21.

So anyone still interested maybe we can hit it up before the Fairfield show.  (although I think this is the day after Thanksgiving)  Or the day after the Fairfield show.

and anyone who the trailer didn\'t do much for, go the the site and check out the redband trailer (red screen at start not green)

Joc, the doctor from JFC is in this.  He\'s Tommy Lee Jones\' Deputy

For Deadwood fans he\'s the guy that played Jack McCall and Francis Wolcott.

I wish we could get beer in theaters here.

You can...from a backpack!

We have a "speakeasy theater" down the street.  You can buy pitchers of beer, bottles of wine etc.

ok so this movie is GREAT!  I wouldn\'t say it\'s their best.  But still a great movie.  A little slow paced but it makes up for it with the edge of your seat feeling throughout.  It\'s missing the Coen comedic touch, but it\'s appropriate cause it would be really out of place.  It\'s also very loyal to the book.  I would def recommend.
