I still need to see There Will Be Blood and True Grit (have TG in my rental queue) and whilst I'm not the Coens biggest fan, I do really like most of their output, especially Miller's Crossing.

You made it sound like you think it is, so let me point out that There Will Be Blood is not a Coen brothers film. It's by that guy who did Magnolia; teh Anderson who is W.S....

You know, I've actually been impressed with Timberlake as an actor. He's surprised me a lot.

He's very good in The Social Network too...
