Don't worry. We all have our lapses.

Oh Brother, Hudsucker, Miller's Crossing (actually, I need to rewatch this. I remember loving it, but don't remember much about it)

Miller's Crossing- the Coen's outdid themselves even by their standards in terms of writing.

And I agree with the dude that said Hudsucker is vastly underrated.

Their best movie, IMO, was "O Brother, Where Art Thou" and it fricking sucked.

Their films are some of the most overrated movies I've ever seen, second to Quentin Tarantino's of course.



i bet you're a HUGE Michael Bay fan too.

I saw O Brother in the theater and was quite literally the only person laughing. And I almost chocked to death I was laughing so hard.

Yeah, I was that guy.

same here and the wife was looking at me like I was crazy in some parts. Maybe it was also how I could pick up on all the peculiarities and expressions of Mississippi.

Toss up between Fargo and No Country For Old Men. True Grit and O Brother not too far behind.
There is a Chinese remake of Blood Simple out in some theatres right now, A Woman, A Gun and A Noodle Shop. It looks pretty good.

I'm sorry Burn After Reading sucked Brad. You were kind of funny in it.


I thought this was a great movie.

Wouldn't use the term great but I thought it was very good beltway satire.
