What is this Organ Trail movie? Looks like it's out now, but I can't find any reviews.

I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Good for him. I can relate to some extent. Will he start making better movies? Who knows

On a related note, I've used that Adobe AI speech enhancement thing a few times to clean up some audio for work, and man once you know how it sounds you start to hear it everywhere in newer videos. Feels like it's becoming a replacement for proper mic'ing and EQ. It's all over that video and I hate it

The director is encouraging, but I still think this movie is unfilmable. A reader can only be disappointed.

Yeah The Road movie isn't a very good adaptation. I think Blood Meridian is unreadable so I imagine you're right, it's probably also unfilmable.

The Road is fine. Not as brutal or hopeless as the book, but hits all the main points pretty well.
