Maybe I hyped it up too much. I don't know. The way in which Brolin's character suddenly became a footnote rather than a primary character was just bizarre. I tend to agree with MMF on movies a lot so this is one I will probably watch again and see what I missed..

I'd definitly give it another shot Dis, I really liked it the first go around and gave it another showing and enjoyed it alot more. The Tommy Lee Jones character was interesting and I think I liked him more then Bardem's. Jones nails down that southern character though. It reminded me of his role in The Three Burials of Erik Estrada (haha).
The characters really make No Country though. Yeah I was really confused, and still am, but it's a movie I would pop in tonight and probably enjoy even more.

As for "There Will Be Blood", I haven't seen it yet but I know this....the movie can be complete garbage but as long as Daniel Day Lewis is in it, I will be mesmerized (see Gangs of New York). The man may be the best actor on the face of the planet

Boy did you nail it there, totally agreed. He's just on another level, it's almost painful watching the majority of actors in There Will be Blood act opposite of him as he just blows everyone out of the water though. His character is horrible, just deplorable, but Day-Lewis gets it.
Paul Dano is great in it too. He really plays well off of Day-Lewis' Plainview character. The underlying hate, disgust, distain for each other is.. well I won't say anymore.
