| If this movie doesn't win the Oscar for best movie we are all doomed. |
| Just watched the preview, looks great. Always a good sign when you have a few Deadwood actors in one film. |

Quoted:
Is that the long ass boring movie about meth heads, that paints the picture that everyone who lives in the country is backwards and uneducated? I'm guessing you're from Nebraska by your avatar signature. No flame bro. Lovely place, I worked in Lincoln for a while about 20 years ago... ...but I was born and raised in east Oklahoma/southwest Arkansas area. I can take you places down there where life is EXACTLY like that movie. Families live on land that they got from tribal allotments 5 generations ago, and all 5 generations are buried under the same dirt. People might have a whole family living on less than $10k a year. Places where everyone in the area is related to each other by either blood or marriage. And where some of the "wealthiest" people in the county know where all the bodies are buried because they buried the bodies themselves when they laid the sewer lines with crooked "county commissioner" county contracts and they control the dope in the area too. (did I just say Crook County? I must have meant Creek County...) These are places where Grandpappy was a moonshiner, dad grew dope, and now the kids cook meth. "Copperhead Road" is more than just a song down there, it's a way of life. You can get your ass made dead there before you can find a map back to the city you came from. Places where you can get anyone killed you want for a couple of cartons of name-brand cigarettes and a bottle of store-bought liquor. |

If you took away the twangy accents and added snow it would look like some of the homes and families where I grew up. Sure there were also well off farmers and successful upper middle class people, but I've been in plenty of homes like those shown in the movie. If anything the movie was a little gentle, some of the homes were far too clean and uncluttered for the type of characters who lived in them. |

I am actually from backwoods Michigan...way out in the sticks, that movie was nothing like where I grew up. The only reason for my hostility towards the move: MIL saw this, and now thinks that is how I grew up, and my family still is.
