This is actually a really interesting print to talk about, given how much you have to factor the hype/anticipation/time in which it was a never-gonna-happen elements of it. The titling is solid, I appreciate how much lighter (ie white) the base of the image is compared to a lot of Ken's recent work. The tree element is my favorite little touch, the composition is rock solid, and the Chigurh by Ken is fantastic. That said, I keep getting the feeling that the actual contents of the scene are underwhelming in the sense of its importance to the film, which has been a criticism for some other prints out there...though I suppose it doesn't matter as much since it does a good job of nailing the ominous sense of foreboding that Chigurh evokes.

Just curious how this would stack up should the fragment in the Mondo book not be there and so much time being spent wishing this would happen. Probably not as big a factor as I'm making it out to be, but still interesting.

It's also more of a movie poster.

Nah, it hasn't inspired nearly as much butthurt.

Not yet, anyway.

What I love about TWBB: You can't even make out what the writing says it is so calligraphic.

I hate to sound condescending... which means to talk down to you by the way.
