Coen brothers directing obviously.

>Jamie Bell as Toadvine
>Hugh Jackman as Glanton
>Ethan Hawke as the Ex-Priest
>Brendan Fraser as the Judge

I'm not even memeing about Fraser as the Judge. Shave his head and bulk him up and he could fit the jovial/menacing demenour perfect. Also Jackman in full on snarling mode would make an excellent Glanton.

>They grew gaunted and lank under the white suns of those days and their hollow burnedout eyes were like those of noctambulants surprised by day. Crouched under their hats they seemed fugitives on some grander scale, like beings for whom the sun hungered. Even the judge grew silent and speculative. He’d spoke of purging oneself of those things that lay claim to a man but that body receiving his remarks counted themselves well done with any claims at all. They rode on and the wind drove the fine gray dust before them and they rode an army of gray-beards, gray men, gray horses. The mountains to the north lay sunwise in corrugated folds and the days were cool and the nights were cold and they sat about the fire each in his round of darkness in that round of dark while the idiot watched from his cage at the edge of the light. The judge cracked with the back of an axe the shinbone on an antelope and the hot marrow dripped smoking on the stones. They watched him. The subject was war.
>The good book says that he that lives by the sword shall perish by the sword, said the black.
>The judge smiled, his face shining with grease.
>What right man would have it any other way? he said.
>The good book does indeed count war an evil, said Irving. Yet there’s many a bloody tale of war inside it.
>It makes no difference what men think of war, said the judge. War endures. As well ask men what they think of stone. War was always here. Before man was, war waited for him. The ultimate trade awaiting its ultimate practitioner. That is the way it was and will be. That way and not some other way.

>He turned to Brown, from whom he’d heard some whispered slur or demurrer. Ah Davy, he said. It’s your own trade we honor here. Why not rather take a small bow. Let each acknowledge each.
>My trade?
>Certainly.
>What is my trade?
>War. War is your trade. Is it not?
>And it aint yours?
>Mine too. Very much so.
>What about all them notebooks and bones and stuff?
>All other trades are contained in that of war.
>Is that why war endures?
>No. It endures because young men love it and old men love it in them. Those that fought, those that did not.
>That’s your notion.

>The judge smiled. Men are born for games. Nothing else. Every child knows that play is nobler than work. He knows too that the worth or merit of a game is not inherent in the game itself but rather in the value of that which is put at hazard. Games of chance require a wager to have meaning at all. Games of sport involve the skill and strength of the opponents and the humiliation of defeat and the pride of victory are in themselves sufficient stake because they inhere in the worth of the principals and define them. But trial of chance or trial of worth all games aspire to the condition of war for here that which is wagered swallows up game, player, all.
>Suppose two men at cards with nothing to wager save their lives. Who has not heard such a tale? A turn of the card. The whole universe for such a player has labored clanking to this moment which will tell if he is to die at that man’s hand or that man at his. What more certain validation of a man’s worth could there be? This enhancement of the game to its ultimate state admits no argument concerning the notion of fate. The selection of one man over another is a preference absolute and irrevocable and it is a dull man indeed who could reckon so profound a decision without agency or significance either one. In such games as have for their stake the annihilation of the defeated the decisions are quite clear. This man holding this particular arrangement of cards in his hand is thereby removed from existence. This is the nature of war, whose stake is at once the game and the authority and the justification. Seen so, war is the truest form of divination. It is the testing of one’s will and the will of another within that larger will which because it binds them is therefore forced to select. War is the ultimate game because war is at last a forcing of the unity of existence. War is god. Brown studied the judge.
>You’re crazy Holden. Crazy at last.
>The judge smiled.

No, it should be left alone.

>Might does not make right, said Irving. The man that wins in some combat is not vindicated morally.
>Moral law is an invention of mankind for the disenfranchisement of the powerful in favor of the weak. Historical law subverts it at every turn. A moral view can never be proven right or wrong by any ultimate test. A man falling dead in a duel is not thought thereby to be proven in error as to his views. His very involvement in such a trial gives evidence of a new and broader view. The willingness of the principals to forgo further argument as the triviality which it in fact is and to petition directly the chambers of the historical absolute clearly indicates of how little moment are the opinions and of what great moment the divergences thereof. For the argument is indeed trivial, but not so the separate wills thereby made manifest. Man’s vanity may well approach the infinite in capacity but his knowledge remains imperfect and howevermuch he comes to value his judgements ultimately he must submit them before a higher court. Here there can be no special pleading. Here are considerations of equity and rectitude and moral right rendered void and without warrant and here are the views of the litigants despised. Decisions of life and death, of what shall be and what shall not, beggar all question of right. In elections of these magnitudes are all lesser ones subsumed, moral, spiritual, natural.

>The judge searched out the circle for disputants. But what says the priest? he said.
>Tobin looked up. The priest does not say.
>The priest does not say, said the judge. Nihil decit. But the priest has said. For the priest has put by the robes of his craft and taken up the tools of that higher calling which all men honor. The priest also would be no godserver but a god himself.
>Tobin shook his head. You’ve a blasphemous tongue, Holden. And in truth, I was never a priest but only a novitiate to the order.
>Journeyman priest or apprentice priest, said the judge. Men of god and men of war have strange affinities.
>I’ll not secondsay you in your notions, said Tobin. Dont ask it.

Clueless faggot

Ridley Scott should have directed. Casting is whatever, heavy make-up and some good actors, maybe dubsman or someone else.

I would be able to direct it after establishing a varied career of good films from small indie horror and drama films to big budget kaiju, action, western, and mystery movies. Give me like 25 years and I will get this made. I am starting with stage plays, adapting my own work to the screen, destroying Hollywood and sweeping all awards (though I will not even show up) with original films and a few adaptations (including a proper version of Less Than Zero), and then I will move on to prestige pictures like this film and my own original magnum opi (plural for opus, I’m sure). Not sure who I will be able to cast one 2 decades but rest assured Yea Forums, I’ve got this handled and then some. It will be better than Unforgivwn and The Great Silence and Keoma and Cemetery Without Crosses combined. As will my own true original masterpiece that takes place in the last days of the old west, WWI, and the silent film era (a cowboy outlaw becomes a famous vaudeville performer and then western movie actor, all set to WWI side character stuff and eventually midwestern bank robberies, it will be 4.5 hours long and win all possible oscars, though again, I will not even show up to the ceremony

Should I read Less Than Zero? Big fan of the American Psycho novel but never read anything else by him.

Glenn Fleshler as the Judge.

All say it was rape. Yes, but it was more than this. The Judge was eating him while fucking him.

>though I will not even show up
kek you have no idea how that shit works

clancy brown can give a sort of literary weight to his performance that donofrio would never be capable of

nah

Honestly, American Psycho is probably my favorite book, but Less Than Zero, while more juvenile (he wrote it at like 20) is way more brutal and scary in its ramifications as a far more realistic novel. I love it. I also heavily identify with the protagonist, more so than I do Bateman. Can’t recom it enough

Says you. Look at Brando giving his Oscar to the red man and Kanye (who I don’t even like but respect for his vague integrity and hatred of pop culture though he is one the prime reasons our world is at it is) ignored his Grammy noms. I will be the most provocative and controversial filmmaker of all time, spurning everyone who loves me and only earning more love for it. Much like Death Grips, the greatest working band alive

where does it ever imply that?

DDL as the judge, would like to see his memethod acting for that.

Yea, I always thought the judge just killed him.

I literally don't even know what you're trying to say. How is it remotely similar to Blade Runner? If anything, the Blade Runner of books would be "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep" since that's what it was actually based off.

Best part is when the Judge gets them off with the authorities after shooting up a town square. I need a friend like the Judge.
>What did you tell him, Holden?
>That shaking hands was not the custom in your land.
>Before that. What did you say to him before that.
>The judge smiled. It is not necessary, he said, that the principals here be in possession of the facts concerning their case, for their acts will ultimately accommodate history with or without their understanding. But it is consistent with notions of right principle that these facts—to the extent that they can be readily made to do so—should find a repository in the witness of some third party. Sergeant Aguilar is just such a party and any slight to his office is but a secondary consideration when compared to divergences in that larger protocol exacted by the formal agenda of an absolute destiny. Words are things. The words he is in possession of he cannot be deprived of. Their authority transcends his ignorance of their meaning.

Well my praise for less than zero is and American psycho is genuine and ideally I would have a filmmaking career with that trajectory but yes my posts were majority tongue in cheek poking fun at automata who believe they can do things like that and such. Idk I’m drunk and high on coke, and now I’m sad and need a bump terribly. Fuck man you are spinning me into a crisis. I’m glad I’m at a bar, drinking will help and I still have almost 2 grams out of the 8 ball I started with. It’ll be dark soon, night time is the right time to get depersonalization level fucked up. Ahhhhhhhhhhh I am losing it. Again, I want to reiterate that less than zero and American psycho are two of the things I genuinely, earnestly relate to most but I also can’t tell what parts of me are real and what parts are fake anymore. I do know my feelings on fiction are for the most part genuine though, probably some sort of escapism on my part but I am mai Lynch attracted to things that make the person I identify with seem really bad, much like in real life I relish in the image I present to my coworkers, drinking buddies, and I would say friends but I lost all of those. I try to be more of a dirtbag on purpose and I have no idea why. I feel like a maniac all the time. I came to out of a black out a couple months ago on top of a freight train surrounded by cops. Apparently I was jumping from car to car while it was moving but I don’t remember that part. I wish I did because when will I ever get to do that again?

I'd want the Coens to direct, but I don't think they'd want do it. I think it would be a little too much for them. Arofnofsky would be a good fit. Holden must be an albino black. There is no other way to give him that sense of being slightly alien without maybe prosthetics. And that way you could hopefully get a super deep voice too. But what are the chances of finding an albino black that can act and has a deep voice. My dream will never happen

Pt 2 of this post:

I think I aspire to be bad because I admire bad people. Even Drive, one of my favorite movies, I would love less if he didn’t sport out and stomp that guy. The elevator scene is the best piece of filmmaking of the 21st century. I can only hope I either snap out of my multi year booze and coke binge soon or die in my sleep from too much of either tonight. I treat every night I have money to spend like my last night on earth. I have already drank and snorted half my paycheck I got 3 hours ago. I’m a monster and I was going to try to get laid today but I woke up too late to shave, shower, or get a haircut (haven’t shaved in 3 weeks, showered in 1, or got my haircut in a year). And don’t even get me started on laundry. *cue prime era Seinfeld laughtrack. I’m lost in a world of fantasy and substance abuse and this can only lead to terrible things for me. I already threw up in the bathroom of this bar at 7pm after drinking a dead nazi (rumplemintz plus jaeger as a shot) and taking a huge bump of high quality cocaine and the nasal drip upset my stummy. I am going to drink and do blow till closing time though, only 5 hours to go. Fuck me. None of my friends like me anymore, I just have fellow pathetic alkies I drink with. I’ve been fired from 4 jobs in the past year. Need a smoke. Need a line. Need rumplemintz for its 100 proof alcohol content. Glad I got paid today, hopefully won’t spend all $1100 in 3 days like last time. I love to hate myself. You can never think too little of any man, there is always less

we love you user

get some sleep tho

CANt sleep on a lot of coke need more drugs cigs and booze, bout to have an iron cross (rumplemintz jeager and golds hlager as a shot, most dirtbag disgusting drink ever invented expect for a rumpleminzt C (invented by me, it’s a vitamin C which is vodka Red Bull and OJ but with rumplemintz instead of normal or orange flavored vodka, my favorite) and it’s only10:.30. I still got 3 and a half hours of partying left and even then I don’t work until 6pm tomorrow. Fuck dude I was supposed to wake up at like 2 today but I stayed up watching Gamera movies until 10am and slept until 5. Got my paycheck and headed for the bar. I was supposed to get a shave and a haircut and new clothes and try to do laundry and eat for the first time in a couple days but I spent all my money on coke and booze and smokes and just fuck it. Even my drinking buddies think I smell like I haven’t showered in a week (little do they know it’s actually a week and 2 days, the retarded nigger faggots). I don’t even know where the laundry in my building is. I just buy new socks and a new shirt every week or so. I wear all black so no one can really tell. But I have not showered or changed clothes since Thursday June 6th. Except socks I mean, got 3 pairs of socks 6 days ago that I wore for 2 days each, today is the last day on pair three. Going to smoke now. Maybe this will be the one that gives me terminal cancer
