Title: the coen brothers debate Post by: sonic youth on Saturday, September 27, 2008, 19:47:04 continuing from the paul newman thread.
the quality of their films has ranged quite a lot over the course of their career, i must agree. this is mainly because they constantly strive to try new things. intolerable cruelty was an odd project and the ladykillers was a tribute...both aren't awful though, though don't compare well to the rest of their films. no country was a return to form though.

That is all Title: Re: the coen brothers debate Post by: sonic youth on Saturday, September 27, 2008, 19:58:05 yes, i also.
i also hear that the coens are giving a script to clooney to direct, that should be interesting - i liked good night and good luck.

No country was great I thought, until it got to the ending (what ending?) Asides from that SY, why are you rebelling against the use of capital letters?

All of the supposed hard men die in every hollywood movie, he was unstoppable, easy.

Let's acknowledge the pre-Fargo work - Blood Simple, Raising Arizona, Millers Crossing, Barton Fink... God I wish I had their talent!!!! Title: Re: the coen brothers debate Post by: adje on Sunday, September 28, 2008, 13:15:51 Yeah-Blood Simple is a good one-Big Lebowski another one
Title: Re: the coen brothers debate Post by: Rich Pullen on Sunday, September 28, 2008, 13:17:50 The Big Lebowski has a bad ass 10th anniversary special edition.... Region 1 though :(

Title: Re: the coen brothers debate Post by: sonic youth on Sunday, September 28, 2008, 16:53:23 my boss hated raising arizona - loved all of their other films, even liked intolerable cruelty but really hated raising arizona...
i think he didn't appreciate the humour in kidnapping babies.
