Sounds like a great idea!

Such a great film. I sure hope the Coens decide to make the sequel OLD FINK that they keep threatening to do. I understand they're just waiting for Turturro to be the right age.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164105442273577128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8293273378239831747.post-52370699681163789992013-08-12T04:21:15.678-07:002013-08-12T04:21:15.678-07:00Jennifer Croissant: These movies are very brainy, ...Jennifer Croissant: These movies are very brainy, filled with metaphors and symbolisms...some of them are I'll give it to ya, not that great, but when they are brilliant, they are brilliant. For example The Big Lebowski, Raising Arizona, A Serious Man...brilliant. But I didn't like The Man Who Wasn't There so much, or True Grit. <br /><br />Robotgeek: Agree on the hit or miss element of the Coens, but I feel that even their "bad ones" have something worth seeing in them. I'm gonna be seeing and reviewing Millers Crossing soon!

Most notably, I remember seeing Rosie O'Donnell on some talk show as a guest with her friend Madonna and she just kept saying "I don't get it?" in referring to Barton Fink and the kind of film it is. Funny stuff. <br /><br />I actually just finished Miller's Crossing, which I'm still trying to process. Such an amazing film. For me, the Coen Brothers don't always make a good film, but when they do they can turn out some true gems. Great review man, I'll definitely be giving this one a watch really soon. robotGEEKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00355070295108163031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8293273378239831747.post-5393283876555472742013-08-10T04:16:43.800-07:002013-08-10T04:16:43.800-07:00I`ve never understood all the fuss thats made with...I`ve never understood all the fuss thats made with regards to how supposedly brilliant The Coen Brothers movies are, for me its always been a case of 'the emperors new clothes', theres just nothing there.Jennifer Croissantnoreply@blogger.com
