With spectacular performances by Jeff Bridges, Hailee Steinfeld and Matt Damon, the visually stunning film has already claimed nominations from the Critics' Choice Awards and Screen Actors Guild for categories including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor (Jeff Bridges) and Best Supporting Actress Hailee Steinfeld.

Steinfeld's talent nearly stole the show. Her breakthrough performance mirrors her role in the film, in which the young thespian holds her own against Bridges and Damon. She certainly is one to watch this award season and beyond for what looks like the beginning of a promising career.

I have no idea whatsoever if it is correct or not if Woody had a real honest to God, according to hoyle, ATM card or whether Del Rio, Texas, in 1980, had adequate facilities to use such a card is authentic or not.

Same account number for all of these years. If ID theft were not a problem, I would scan and post it. He had another account before we met he opened in 1978.

I need to say what I frequently tell my husband. Just watch the movie and enjoy it for Gods sake!

1980 is NOT the Seventies. A debit card could be accessed not only at an ATM, but at any bank in the country at the time. One would suspect that Woody could find a local bank branch that could work a debit or credit card if he was sent to find Chigurgh. By 1980 their where hundreds of thousands of ATM around the country. There where several in every county seat in the country, even in West and South West Texas.

Have you purchased anything sold at Walmart in the last decade?

NOthing matches the original. Matt Damnon made the smear campaign against Sarah Palin a personal obsession of his. There is no way I will support this lowlife.
