Wow, this looks fucking hilarious!

Clooney, McDormand, Pitt, JK Simmons (Juno's dad) - all hilarious. :rofl:

"Report back to me when...................when it makes sense." :D

I've been impressed by his performance in OZ.

I just got "Big Leibowski" from Netflix..I have never seen that movie.

I will be very curious to see this one. From the trailer, it promises to be a return to the zaniness of their earlier movies.

Good to see Frances McDormand back in a leading role! B-)

My personal Top 3 Coen Brothers movies
1. Raising Arizona (a riot from beginning to end)
2. Fargo (deserved winner of 2 Academy Awards)
3. The Big Lebowski (some very funny moments)

The Ladykillers was a re-make of an old British movie. I hated it. But then I usually don't enjoy watching Tom Hanks. He certainly can't do comedy.

No Country For Old Men was well made with good acting. But the script was taken from a novel and lacked the humor of the Coen's own screenplays.

Big Lebowski
Miller's Crossing
Hudsucker Proxy

at least those are the ones I watch again now. used to be other ones.

Oh Brother Where Art Thou?
Fargo
Hudsucker Proxy

This may change after I watch Lebowski which I am now debating just holding on to until I go to AZ next week to see my daughter because she hasn't seen it either, I have a couple of others to watch too and the Olympics are getting in the way of my movie time.

Thank Goodness for Netflix.

is good, but it's their first film and it doesn't have the budget their other films have. anyway, I really like it, too. The Coen Bros. did a remastered version a while back and I got to see it at a film festival.

The Man Who Wasn't There is also amazing.

I saw it in 1984 and was blown away by it (the newspaper hitting the screen door still makes me jump)




Incidentally, it's funny how many of their movies involve kidnapping.

Looks like a great comedy

I've heard about them, but never saw one. Thanks! :hi:

For some reason theaters never play them, even before R-rated movies. Don't ask me why.

It's not like you don't see swearing in an R-rated movie. If it's OK for the movie why not the trailers?

and they want to ensure they don't 'offend'.

At the 1:20 mark a song starts. Last year, another trailer used the same song. I've wracked my brain trying to suss out what it is. I even tried googling some lyrics to no avail.

first music is from elbow - grounds for divorce

(which I likes much)

second song (the one you're asking about) is by Spirit - I Got a Line on You.

It was one of those songs from way back in radio days that I liked, but forgot about. I was googling "I got a *light* on you".
:hi:
