What is the real reason a Blood Meridian movie is "impossible"?

Because they saw all those run-on sentences and gave up.

blood meridian is not gnostic

The word nigger is used every other sentence.

It would require a huge budget and no one would watch it

Doesn't Judge have a literal retard naked on a leash for a good while? No way in fuck any studio is green lighting that

Because it's a shitty book for pseudo intellectual midwit nerds to fawn over

>comanches sodomizing people, while killing them
>killing women and children (and then scalping them)
>dude smashes a baby against a rock
>they basically only kill injuns and spics. not sure if that flys any more

just a couple off the top of my head

I've always wondered if the reason that novels can get away with more lurid material than tv/film is because it's not visually depicted and therefore less upsetting, or because the type of person to get offended just doesn't fucking read.

It's not, it would just require a skilled set of actors and a skilled director to pull it off and such a combo is pretty much impossible right now.

the latter

Because the descriptions in the book are almost completely fantastical and create this weird, spooky mood that a panning shot across the deserts of northern Mexico absolutely would not capture.

Based retard

You can't make a movie with all that rape, infanticide, racial killings, etc in it. Way, way, WAY too politically insensitive. No studio is touching this book with a 10 foot pole.

Probably both. Didnt used to be super easy for books. I think 'Hogg' took 30 years to get published, might be a bad example because that book is comically gratuitous

Can someone explain to me what gnosticism is?

Because the writing style is almost biblical and there's no way to convert that to film

The final redpill

the endpoint at which philosophy and religion lead you to

...okay but like...what is it? Even in basic terms?

It isnt biblical at all.

ask in /x/ and then seek psychiatric help for the socially transmitted schizophrenia you'll pick up from the answers

why you stubbed your toe this morning, why you burnt your tongue on your food, why you're so unhappy, why you can't leave Zig Forums.

so is this a meme or is it an actual philosophy?

Terence Malick could direct it because he literally doesnt care about the violence on screen (or anything at all to do with plot). He'd just spend his time getting the shot right which would actually fit with the theme of the book and how the characters view their actions.

because john goodman lost too much weight to play holden

the architect of our reality is a cruel, cruel being, and the fundamental state of our existence naturally produces suffering.

Its almost as old as Christ. So ancient meme or philosophy your choice.

it's been a quasi set of beliefs for thousands of years. it's everywhere, in the works of many great artists, writers, painters etc if you know what to look for.

More of a philosophical concept within several religions' interpretations.

He's also like 20 years too old now.

John Goodman as he was in "Oh Brother Where Art Thou" would have been absolutely iconic as the Judge.

I guess I'm gonna have to research this because now I'm interested

i would gladly accept that challenge if i was a bigshot director

>repeating the regurgitated opinion of a Twitter nigger
Regardless this opinion is on par with looking at a cubist painting and screaming "but why isn't it just a photograph!?!"

you're on the first step on the long path to enlightenment (unironically). I hope to see you in pleroma.

>scholastic reading dum dums don't get offended by it
Because they never read the damn thing. Besides Kubrick would be the only director I'd pick. Luck would have it vin diesel would pick it up as a side project and make the judge like riddick.

Why are Blood Meridian threads retard magnets?
It would be like trying to describe a nightmare to someone. Also, a nightmare that's endless superviolence and gore.

They say too many gamer words, it would be 6 hours long, R rated and boring for plebs who watch capeshit.

"Unfilmable" usually means "unprofitable".

Becaue James Franco hasn't gotten the rights to it yet. He'll prove once and for all it's filmable if you have no standards.

you dont make a movie out of blood meridian, rather it should be protected from the kind of people who would make a movie out of it

>What is the real reason a Blood Meridian movie is "impossible"?
it'll be pozzed to hell

holden looks too much like agent 47. isn't he described as more babyfaced?

>Also, a nightmare that's endless superviolence and gore
I reread it a year or two back and there was so much shit I had forgotten. Dudes getting carried off into the forest by bears.

kek

the test footage was BAD

i'v been trying to find the test footage for years, but it looks like he scrubbed it from the entire internet. is there a place to watch it? or is it forever gone?

Yeah, a big, hairless 6'8" baby clinically recording and extinguishing things.
