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.
Now I did a job. I got nothing but trouble since I did it, not to mention more than a few unkind words as regard to my character so let me make this abundantly clear. I do the job. And then I get paid.

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.

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.

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.

I laughed myself sick at that scene.
Too damned funny.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Fargo and A Simple Plan have some similarities. Seemingly regular people getting corrupted by greed. Violence and all that snow. Easy enough for a mix-up.
I love Fargo and Big Lebowski, but I couldn't finish Barton Fink, despite the fact that I love Judy Davis. For some reason, I seem to have poor tolerance for overwrought display of writerly neuroses. Throughout the movie, I was just overwhelmed with an impluse to bitchslap the whiny-ass John Turturro character until Sunday. And despite liking the movie a lot better, I felt the same way about Nick Cage character in Adaptation. Don't know what this says about me.

Among the deleted scenes on the IT DVD is a collection of something like thirty or so takes of Clooney's dorky partner saying "Everybody loves berries," to him at the wedding.
It's very surreal. The words begin to lose all meaning.
