I have some notes.
A Serious Man was great but I'm not surprised it didn't win.

There's something magically forgettable about A Serious Man. I've seen it twice, and I could say I've never seen it at all unless you were to play the movie in front of me. Peculiar film

Compare that with, say, Intolerable Cruelty, which I've forgotten I've seen on purpose.

I was alerted to this show's existence by a promoted Twitter ad that basically said "did you know Albert Einstein was Horny" and that was pretty good at putting me off of ever watching it.

Well...


They ain't wrong.


After the fantastically petulant response the trailer received (from people who obviously didn't bother to even watch it), this is a real good poster and I hope it was made in response to that.

Right? I love this poster as a response to the idiotic backlash. And the movie it's based on came out like 3 years ago. None of this should be a surprise to anyone.

A Serious Man is rly good, its a lil hard for me to watch because of how brutal it is to Larry but by no means is that a fault of the movie or a bad thing. Calling it forgettable seems insane to me

A Serious Man is probably like my second or third favorite Coen Bros. movie. It's criminally underrated imo.

Classifying A Serious Man as top-tier Coens, of course. Defending Intolerable Cruelty, ok. But when will The Ladykillers be reassessed?

More specifically it's probably referencing Dogecoin, because the main character becomes a bitcoin miner.

Amazon's video page posted:

A video gamer gets fired from his job so he gets into the drug and bitcoin laundering business with his best friend. Being A Donald Trump supporter, he quickly figures out rotten government officials from the "DC" swamp want him out. This great comedy covers how Donald Trump caused everyone to clash over issues such as abortion dealing and illegal immigration in our lives and American culture.

THE LADYKILLERS is a good argument for why the Coens should never write black people again.
