Have a ball!!
Don't know whether I ever mentioned that Ethan gave me personal direction during the shoot. The movie's release has been moved to later in the year, which is all to the good. A February release is not as great as a spring, summer, fall, or Christmas one. So I'm hoping for a hit. |

Not that I noticed, Billy, but what's one more thrill between friends?!
A later release is certainly better for all. But that contradicts my desire to see it as soon as possible. ASAP means ASAP and no arguing. See. I'm torn!! *sigh* |

While waiting for Inside Llewyn Davis, just note that Fargo is now streaming on Netflix. An opportunity, if you want it, to remind yourself just how fucking close to perfect that movie is.
Edit: Sorry, billy. |

And just what about it is less than perfect? |

They don't show Fargo.  |

It's just not that interesting.
One of the more overpraised films of the last 20 years. |

I love the little stories in A Serious Man - the shtetl tale at the beginning, the orthodontist's tale of the goy's teeth, Rabbi Marshak's spin on the Jefferson Airplane...I'm not entirely sure what they mean, nor am I meant to. It's something to reflect on. ASM holds up well to a second viewing. Or perhaps more. The cat is dead, or it's alive, I don't understand it myself but I know you have to do the math. God may be seen in the parking lot, if you look at it with fresh eyes.
The purest and most personal Coen movie. Had to see it again to realize its greatness. |

Definitely holds up. It's still only my second favorite Coen--Fargo will always be hard to beat and I haven't seen Inside Llewyn Davis yet and many are calling it their best--but ASM is great and, odd for the Coens, underrated. |

I recently had a request for some comedy films from my 18 year old niece.
So one film I tossed in was Burn After Reading, which I thought was pretty amusing and under-appreciated. And I assume they didn't see. |

I appreciated it. Liked it a lot. Saw it twice. I agree, it was under-appreciated. |

| What's the story about "Gambit" ?? I think this is part of the Joel and Ethan oeuvre, since they scripted it. It was released in late 2012 in the UK, but hasn't made it here, and now there's a vague 2014 release?? I'm using too many question marks, but this is a bit weird. Has anyone with a multiregion player seen the DVD? |
