Pass the Chigurh

Mock-up ©2008 Nate Sjol
I finally got around to seeing No Country For Old Men two nights ago and it’s been haunting me ever since. The cinematography was starkly beautiful, the performances were stunning and the direction was fantastic. I’m still scared that Chigurh is out there, somewhere…
But all morning, I’ve had this idea for a t-shirt in my head and I finally found the time a few minutes ago to make a quick mock-up.
I think it’s clever as hell…but then again, what do I know?
UPDATE (4.17)- Apparently, not too much. The good folks at Threadless.com turned down my submission to have this made into a t-shirt because, get this, it contains copyrighted material. I have a feeling that the real reasoning behind the snub was that it was just too real for them. They couldn’t handle it’s awesomeness. Oh well…
Nate is pretty sure Mark Twain said it best, "Humor is the great thing, the saving thing after all. The minute it crops up, all our hardnesses yield, all our irritations, and resentments flit away, and a sunny spirit takes their place."

I think that’s a great design! I got a kick out of it.
I was warned No Country was “kind of boring”, so I didn’t rush out to see it. I loved this movie. I didn’t think it was boring at all. It’s a perfect example of good suspense.
