it is not CORN...

Damned auto correct.

RESIST!

But I quit about half way through.

...I realized that it was about 2 odd hours of my life that had just been shot right to Hell. Yuck.

RESIST!

Not worthy of a nom

And I will we it tonight if my wife remembers to stop by Red Box on her way home.

RESIST!

...is the reason they make ice cream in different flavors.

RESIST!

Behind only Fargo, Big Lebowski, A Serious Man, O Brother Where Art Thou and Raising Arizona in the pantheon of their work.

It is bleak, I will give you that. Even in its more lighthearted moments. And especially in its darker moments. "Meal Ticket" (the one with Liam Neeson) in particular was just haunting.

So I can understand why one might not like it, but for me personally, I found it incredible. Especially on the second watch.

I hated it. My favorite of their movies is Miller's Crossing, which I consider to be WAY superior.

RESIST!

Can't find it on Netflix or on demand for the life of me.

Obviously the common theme of TBOBS is death and mortality, which is a bit heavy.

Even if you didn't like it I might suggest a rewatch. Coen works have a way of sticking around and getting a lot better the longer you think about them.

The second time I watch it, I dug the last chapter--The Mortal Remains--a lot more than I did initially. When the Brendan Gleeson character sings his song and you see the three passengers faces slowly understand their "situation" it is a prime example of solid facial acting.

But it grew on me. Not their best film, but very entertaining. Not sure it's Oscar worthy, but worth watching.

...or the middle or the end...yikes.

RESIST!
