I read an article about it in this months Total Film. Sounds fantastic. I've always been a fan of the Coen brothers. I thought it wasn't released till the 18th of January?

Will be right down to see this.

Tommy Lee Jones + Coen Brothers = Bliss.

elliott · 11th January 2008, 11:23 AM

they're doing a double bill of fargo and the big lebowski in the dca soon, i forget the date. haven't seen both in aaagees, should be fun

Awesome! I've not seen Fargo for ages but I watched The Big Lebowski last week. Still be cool to see it at the flicks though.

'mazin'. The Coen brothers can do no wrong in my book (except probably The Ladykillers remake which i've heard is poor). I read a review of, and Tommy Lee Jones interview concerning, this in Uncut last night and it's got me wet.

Saw this last night.

Beautiful, bleak, brutal.

The audience in Stratford collectively gasped when it ended and left the cinema in silence, not seen that happen since Schindler's List silenced a couple of hundred people in a packed UCI in Solihull.

Even though the Hudsucker Proxy is utter gash, I love the fact the Coen brothers are so completely off the pulse of modern consciousness they assumed this would be their most successful film. Their is something very endearing about two aging geeks who are only concerned with their own interests and have no idea about trivial, zeitgeisty piss.

If you like the Coen brothers I would recommend Ethan's book of short stories 'Gates Of Eden', which mostly are subversions of the traditional detective yarn. Give his poetry a miss though.

AMAZING!

I love both films, but like johhny, watched BL not long ago.

This new one looks quite good also,

RussellOrGoose · 27th January 2008, 04:37 PM

amazing book.
amazing film.

actually wish i'd went to the cinema to see it.

Becca Bomb · 27th January 2008, 06:08 PM

seen this the other night - stunning film.
agree about javier bardem, what an amazing psycho, totally freaked me out!

we also got given a 15 minute speech prior to the film by someone from the film studies department at the uni. He talked all about the Coen Bros and their career. was really interesting.
