They should all promptly receive a slap in the face.

Should've done a flip instead of vote. I can't see any female voting for No Country.

Carson will remember this day when he finally breaks down on his artist integrity and writes a cheesy buddy cop film to Micheal Bay in order to put food on the table

Sounds like you've got a class full of counts.

How hard would it be to write No Country though. Not a lot of dialogue, and when they do talk it's one big stereotype. Luellen's wife is annoying as hell and so is her mom. Tommy Lee Jones' character is a bad joke.

The chase between Brolin and Bardem is the only good thing about that movie, the rest is unnecessary and boring.

Carson the Movie Snob Meets Screenplay Hipsters From Outer Space!

That sounds like the title of an awesome B-movie.

Time to drop that class. You have advanced beyond it.

Watching Kristen Wiig sing Major Tom acoustic really does it for me.

That said, no country is hands down the better film.

Walter Mitty is an extremely boring movie and No Country for Old Men is probably the best movie in the past 10 years. No offense bro, but your class is fricking retarded.

Gee I dunno, maybe they all wanted to watch a movie they probably havent seen yet?

Or maybe they like Ben Stiller?

Or maybe it was the shorter movie?

Or maybe they just wanted to piss you off.
