Our friends over on Quiet Earth snagged a bunch of behind-the-scenes photos from The Road , the much- anticipated adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's Pulitzer-winning novel. They came courtesy of actor Jeremy Ambler, the nice looking fellow to Viggo Mortensen's left.

I bought Cormac McCarthy's most recent book, The Road , at the airport recently, and finished it the same day, even having spent most of my four-hour flight watching the airheads on CNBC explain how essential for my personal well-being it is for me to not raise too much of a fuss while their employers, associates, and benefactors borrow from China my alotted portion of $700 billion and give it to,...
