Oct 21 2009New 'The Road' Poster: "Stand Back, Son -- I'm Going To Rappel Down Something, Then Shoot Something."
If you're still looking for a Halloween costume idea, how about Viggo Mortensen in The Road? It would be pretty easy to put together, plus you could probably use it again next year as a mountain-climbing-hobo-assassin costume. That's capital-V Value.

The pursuit of happyness, with a more raggedy duo. And their white.

It's 'Rappel', numbnuts. Repel is what you do to women.

I'm sorry but this poster is awful. Boring, bland, and looks like plastic. And glowy?? What are we in for, a Hallmark movie of the week? Man marketing people are lame. I on the other hand am excited for this film...just not the poster.

Thanks, Jim. I fixed it. My testicles now have feeling, and women are slightly less repulsed.

Ok little 'glace neuf,' you obviously haven't been taught to appreciate sarcasm yet. This website is full of nothing BUT condescending attitude.

MMMMMMMMMM... new ice cream and sarcasm. This whole post has been the ZOOLANDER model roommates conversation in movie geek terms.

Sometimes I think IWS writer seeds his posts with errors to provoke debate.

Great book, but the poster is dull.

..How do you know that's not his daughter?

I tried to read this book, and after about 10 pages, I stopped. I can't handle that writing style...grrr! Hope the movie stays true to the storyline so I can pretend I actually read that awful mess

The book requires about 40-50 pages of devotion to get "into" it. I'm reading my fourth McCarthy book right now (All the Pretty Horses), and that's just his schtick. He writes a book as if he were speaking to you, and until you understand the subtle tones of how he writes, you will desperately hate him for things like no quotations, spartan usage of commas, and going whole books without semi-colons or parenthesis.
On that note, I'm excited as all bejesus about this movie. I got the book for Christmas, read it in a single sitting and put it down and never opened it up again. It might be my favorite book, though, despite only reading it once. It's just that sort of thing for me. Viggo Mortensen is not how I pictured the dad in the book, but I would sell my only pair of shoes to go to this thing then leave and complain about how bad it was.

And still no damn cart ?!

Mountain climbing hobo assassin... wow. That is pure gold.
And yeah, where's the shopping cart? While reading the book it almost felt like the cart was a third character traveling with the man and the boy.
