Yeah, Fargo was great and No Country for Old Men was mediocre. mostly good opinions in this thread, like this one: Das Boo posted:Raising Arizona is a goddamn masterpiece and you all better be singing its praises from here on out.

The show doesn't have any of the same characters or anything, I guess it maybe exists in the same universe as the movie, but not in any meaningful way. Season 1 feels kind of like if you asked someone who hadn't seen Fargo in 15 years to recall the events of the movie and expand them to 10 hours. Season 2 much more does its own thing and is quite a bit better imo.

General Dog posted:The only really good Coen Brothers movies are Blood Simple, Raising Arizona, Miller's Crossing, Barton Fink, The Hudsucker Proxy, Fargo, The Big Lebowski, O Brother Where Art Thou, No Country For Old Man, and True Grit. Other than that they're just okay. You forgot A Serious Man, The Man Who Wasn't There, and Burn After Reading. I haven't seen ILD or Hail Caesar so I can't comment there.

I didn't see Raising Arizona until later in life and it just never clicked with me. I don't love Nic Cage so that might be a factor.

A misanthrope posted:i think Raising Arizona belongs in the great category It's really fun, even if it kind of feels like a framework for the Coens to do a bunch of old Hollywood stuff they'd never had an excuse to do before (an Esther Williams-type choreographed swimming scene, an extended tap dance number, a Biblical epic, etc).

The problem I had with Hail Ceaser is that I don't give a gently caress about dancing in movies and I don't see any way around it. Clooney in general and "would that it were so simple" almost made up for it.

Miller's Crossing is so incredible we should be making threads everyday just to talk about it. It's a matta of etics.

i thought no country for old men was pretty good and also thought the way it ended was pretty much the entire point of the movie?

Season 2 much more does its own thing and is quite a bit better imo. There is a plot connection: rich dude in season 1 built his commercial empire on the ransom money from the movie which he randomly found in the snow. The thematic connections are stronger, though; the overall plot of season 1 has similarities with the movie. Lester, what a loving rear end in a top hat. Season 2 has Ted Danson who is only getting better with age.

I absolutely loved Inside Lewyn Davis. Plot-light movies with plenty of absurdism mixed with realism and some pathos really do it for me. heroin-addicted diabetic john goodman was amazing, and the ending really did it for me, justin timberlake was pretty hilarious actually, and the puffed-up professor friends who associate with him to make themselves feel more cultured were funny as well. Just overall a great movie, although I don't disagree that it could be seen as lazy. Lazy in the best way. To sum: sir, I disagree most fervently.
