I can imagine sitting between the Coen Brothers and getting an enjoyably droll, side-of-the-mouth version of Mystery Science Theater.

Make it what, funny? Good luck.

Would be great to find out this is George W. Bush.

No, we most certainly will not. This is important.

That's so millenial!

Maybe…but remember, that crazy bastard even rides his motorcycle in the rain.

Oy vey. Because the comparison goes beyond saying that the deal will have an unintended consequence of endangering every Jew in Israel. It says that Obama, like Adolf Hitler, is deliberately taking action to kill off every Jew in Israel.

Thanks. I was looking mostly at the "surface" of their movies, having read Marcus' book and not seeing the tie to the non-O Brother ones. (In the best hipster tradition, I'll even note for the record that I bought the book in first printing, when it was called Invisible Republic, and that I consider that title far…

Don't know. What are they playing?

Yes, he's alive. I like both (all three?). But apart from possibly O Brother, what do you mean? (By the second sentence, I mean.)

Sadly, they're not exempt. I introduced my 7 year old to them just the other day, whipped up Revolution 9 for him, and he HATES the Beatles.

Your reaction, suggesting that that couldn't possibly be true and is bizarre even to say, exposes a lot more about your limitations than it does about ArchieLeech's.

"on Christmas Eve when you're stuck in a motel room in Fort Lee, NJ"

Act of Violence is a FANTASTIC movie. Better than The Set-Up, if you ask me. (Though clearly Robert Ryan had a good festival that year.) Not a bad double feature with Third Man, come to think of it…a theme that's not a million miles away, in fact.

Wouldn't it be easier if we all kinda lined up and patted the person in front of us's back?

From what I recall, that's contingent upon whether the devil is 6—itself contingent on whether man is 5.

I'll take a minute of Taylor Swift over a lifetime of Bret Michaels.

I'm from Indiana…and you can imagine how tired I am of JC Mellencamp being the all-purpose representative of the state's music. But I'd switch out Axl Rose for him in a heartbeat. (Or maybe put in an instrumentalist like Wes Montgomery or JJ Johnson, just for something besides vocals.)

For those who want to know, the three actors are Mike Nichols, Miranda Richardson and David DeKeyser. I watched that movie on the day GW Bush got inaugurated…which was either the most perfect or absolutely worst possible day to do so.

Take it as a compliment when I say that you clearly don't know the first thing about marketing or the American public.
