i just watched hail caesar its pretty good but it really does feel like they had a bunch of scenes they wanted to shoot and partial story ideas so they just kinda taped the script together around josh brolins character

I agree with the OP this movie sucks and I'm a huge fan of Fargo and wjust watched Burn After Reading a few days ago. When I went to watch Inside Llewellyn Davis I got a text from someone during the credits but thinking like I was going to be polite I ignored it and enjoy the film I just put my phone away. So after sitting through an entirely unpleasant movie it turns out the text was inviting me to join my two of my friends that were getting beers and zza at a pizza place literally next door to the the theater. Never turn your phone off.

I've never liked a corn Bros movie until I've rewatched it, mostly because I had no idea what to make of what I'd seen, so I can understand op's initial reaction to ild. I had a very similar response in fact; I told a buddy later "it's pretty funny that the con brothers are allowed to sell their country bumpkin mixtape as a film and get away with it" but then I watched it again, since I knew that with the cones it's never as simple as what you get the first time, and I loved it So I guess what I'm saying is, give it another chance applewhite, you might get something new from it on the next go around.

I think my ceon bris POWER RANKINGS are a little strange though Fantastic: A Serious Man, Fargo, Barton Fink, The Big Lebowski, The Hudsucker Proxy Really Good: No Country for Old Men, O Brother Where Art Thou?, True Grit Passable: Burn After Reading, Hail Caesar! Haven't Seen: Miller's Crossing, Raising Arizona, Blood Simple, The Man Who Wasn't There, Intolerable Cruelty, The Ladykillers

I thought Hail Caesar was like meh, but I really liked the producer character because typically studio suits are depicted as terrible skeezy dbags but this was a guy who genuinely cared about making movies and furthering the interests of the industry he worked for. It was nice.

Intolerable Cruelty isn't one of my top movies or anything but I enjoyed watching it. Also unrelated to the bros but watch Frank it you want a movie about a musician, it's good stuff.

I cannot conceive of anyone not liking "No Country", it's a really good book and an even better movie. "Blood Simple" is also really good. Watching "Hail Caesar" now, will report. So far I like George Clooney, but that's me for every movie.
