Hahahahaha, “Weird even by Southern Gothic standards” is a hell of a thing.
I have the Criterion DVD, it’s apparently streaming on the Criterion channel but also HBO Max somehow, interesting. Rentable on Amazon too and worth the few bucks. And hooooooly shit is that trailer wacky, I can sadly report the music in it is pretty accurate but otherwise it doesn’t represent the movie very well. If…
The Coens’ movies are always in dialogue with each other, I remember thinking at the time how Davis was a companion to Barton Fink — each is about a talented asshole who might not actually be as talented as he thinks he is, and about how the industries they’re working in are bad but not the sole source of their…
I believe Bubba-Ho-Tep is in the same short story collection as Mr. Weedeater! It’s a damn good story, adapted well for the movie.
Oh hell yes. I’ve thought for a while now that they could do a great short film out of Joe R. Lansdale’s very O’Connor-esque Mr. Weedeater.
Actual out-loud laugh at this.
As others have mentioned, definitely watch Llewyn Davis — it is a great (and very sad, as well as funny) movie but it’s also more in line with their previous work than Caesar or Scruggs, so I think you’ll enjoy it. I loved Scruggs but it is by far their darkest work, it is about death in all its forms and that is not…
Hmm, sort of sounds like George Stark trying to write his way into being Thad Beaumont, but as reality instead of metaphor.
Gets well yes, but taking it easy would mean no GOD DAMMITs and god dammit, we need Odenkirk’s GOD DAMMITs!
YAAAAAAAAAAAAY!
Caroline mentions this, but that sweet spot of CGI/practical effects is so important to the overall “movie magic” of the film. The scarab masses look a little dodgy but in a charming way -- you know it’s an effect but it’s done as well as it can be and it’s used in an exciting way. Watching it now is fun while…
Jupiter’s cock! Finally, gratitude for Hannah’s performance!
I love how DeVito is at such peak DeVito that they had to bring him back for Jewel of the Nile even though there is no fucking reason for him to be around again. Audiences demanded DeVito!

Hee hee, nice.
Ha, I don’t know! Spielberg has a pretty high floor for the most part so it’s probably decent.
Or Frank Dux.
Courtney is so damn good in Spartacus, and he’s also easily the best part of the Ayers Suicide Squad. He has a lot of junk on his resume but the talent is there.
