Didn't they learn their lesson...

The Coen's have always had a limited audience. Especially on here.

They have an audience with me!  I love their work.  Even the lesser films.

Well, you could always post some reviews and not leave the burden of defending them to Jon alone.

Sounds like there is more love than I thought. Perhaps we should pick a Coen for the analysis that Emma is trying to wake up?

How about Blood Simple?

[Achim]

I own Blood Simpe and thought it was great in its simplicity. The plot twist(s) were somewhat predictable for today's audiences but probably still fresh at the time fo release.

I like Fargo, probably a lot. Especially Frances McDormand is hilarious. No Country for Old Men is terrific, with Javier Bardem being an excellently menacing villain.

I just watched The Big Lebowski for the first time last week and had a lot of fun with it. I wish John Turtusso's character would have been used more, but having John Goodman was just as exciting.

The Hudsucker Proxy did nothing for me (everything looked so fake) and I have never seen Miller's Crossing or Barton Fink. I saw Raising Arizona once; it's wacky and wild and shows promise.

Yes, I am forgetting some/many, but this is just what pops into my head.

So did they learn their lesson...?

I saw True Grit on Christmas Eve.  I did get a review posted on Epinions...and I do intend to post about it here.  I'm just behind in that.

I will say first that I haven't liked a lot of westerns...though I guess I really haven't watched many in years. 

I loved it.  It is one of the best movies I've seen this year.
