Buffista Movies 3: Panned and Scanned

A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Up with the sun

Do you mean Intolerable Cruelty? (Which I thought wasn't bad, but didn't have much particularly Coen-y about it. It was pretty bland.)

What Jessica said. Zeta-Jones and Clooney are both perfectly fine, and there are a few clever lines, but the film didn't especially stick with me.

I liked Fargo, a lot, and thought OBWAT and Big Lebowski were pretty good but not as great as people told me they were. Hated Hudsucker Proxy. Liked The Man Who Wasn't There, but fell asleep 2/3 of the way through, which I'm guessing means I didn't like it *that* much. Haven't seen any of their other movies. (I think. I always get Barton Fink mixed up with Glengarry Glen Ross, and I've seen whichever one had Alec Baldwin in it.)

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I had to turn off Hudsucker Proxy after about 15 minutes. It was just annoying me too much.

And for some reason, I always think A Simple Plan is Coen Bros.

Sam Raimi.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

What about it made you not want to see it?

Didn't look like a "real" Coen Bros.

The Man Who Wasn't There

D'oh. Some fan, I can't even remember the titles.

Yeah, that makes sense. I didn't even know it was Coen Bros. until I finally watched with a friend who's a fanatic, and it was everybody's first time watching it.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Sam Raimi.

Yes, I know it's Sam Raimi. I just always think it's the other 2 first.

I like that they always make George Clooney look odd. The whole teeth thing in IT was funny.

I think Clooney and the Coen Brothers is an even better combination than Clooney and Soderburgh.

Actually my favorite part of IT is Wheezy Joe getting his asthma inhaler and the gun mixed up.

Somebody accidentaly blowing their own brains out shouldn't be that damned funny.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I love Hudsucker Proxy, but I am a sucker for the kinds of films they were spoofing.

I should like Lebowski more than I actually do. I'm not sure why it didn't quite gel for me.

BWHAHAHAHAHA!

Sean, so very with you on the Wheezy Joe moment. I was wetting myself laughing. My favourite is definitely O Brother. The only ones I haven't seen are Blood Simple and The Ladykillers, though I do plan to get around to them eventually.
