Everything the CBs do is worth a look. by VenkmanBurnInHell	May 15th, 2007 04:28:12 PM
We'll go get some fucking pancakes and then get laid.
First review's a rerun, second's a plant? by Lance Rock	May 15th, 2007 04:29:07 PM

Anton Chighur by antonphd	May 15th, 2007 04:30:06 PM

Coens don't need no plants by newc0253	May 15th, 2007 04:52:52 PM
or, at least, they shouldn't.
OMG! 8th? by dregmobile	May 15th, 2007 05:26:00 PM
I can't wait for this. Loved the book - and I am very happy to hear the Coens have kept to the third act resolution from the book. A major kick in the guts.
I wrote this this morning. by Bungion Boy	May 15th, 2007 05:26:51 PM
Perhaps it's similar to another review posted but this is brand new. And in response the claims that I'm a fucking idiot and retarded, I'll admit it's not my best review. I cranked it out in a hurry, but I don't think I'm retarded. Though to be fair, I did repeat a grade in school. Try to guess which one. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.
Bungion Boy by VenkmanBurnInHell	May 15th, 2007 05:59:28 PM
I've cranked one out in a hurry many times, but I've yet to be described as retarded or a fucking idiot. I'd plot my violent revenge if I were you.
Can;t Wait by Larry of Arabia	May 15th, 2007 06:03:36 PM
Even CB misses are interesting. Except "Ladykillers," but they get a bye on that because they never intended to direct it. I think it was written to be a Barry Sonnenfeld Film, who would have been a better fit for the material.
Another Masterpiece by Birdys Piano Teacher	May 15th, 2007 06:05:08 PM
I happen to think The Man Who Wasn't There was their last masterpiece, but I'm always up for another one.
Couple of Idiots by parttimesaint	May 15th, 2007 07:24:33 PM
I was at the same screening and it sounds like these two were part of the crowd who thought NCfOM was supposed to be more of a Fargo-style flick than the bleak, menacing film that it actually was. The crowd was an embarrassment who kept laughing at all the wrong times. The "Call it" conversation? Not funny at all. It's written and performed to be creepy as all hell. The chase by the dog through the river was thrilling and not amusing at all. They must have been watching a different movie.
"excellent" (as said by Mr. Burns) by blackstormy	May 15th, 2007 07:26:48 PM
I am really looking forward to this. I heard there is no music except for a marachi band, awsome. I already dread the super-creepy atmosphere. JB is becoming an actor I like, he was good in grindhouse.
Don't worry Bungion boy by Happyfat73	May 15th, 2007 07:27:44 PM
The review may not have bneen perfect, but it was readable. Puppy shit is just jealous because Harry didn't publish the glowing review of Georgia Rule he sent in. BTW, I reckon that the Coen's last bona fide masterpiece was O Brother Where Art Thou.
"Not unless round is funny." by Behemoth	May 15th, 2007 08:04:20 PM
Coens cain't do no wrong. Ever, mofos. EVER.
Sounds promising. How about a Jim Thompson adaptation? by LoneGun	May 15th, 2007 09:01:23 PM
The Coen Bros. always offer something special. It would be interesting to see them adapt something by my favourite crime novelist, Jim Thompson. "SAVAGE NIGHT", "A HELL OF A WOMAN", "THE KILLER INSIDE ME" - there's lots to choose from. I look forward to seeing this new film of theirs!
Javier Bardem is the most amazing actor these days by pipergates	May 15th, 2007 10:00:08 PM
i cant think of anybody that good at changing like a chameleon into any kind or personality, he's been a sneaky addict, a dour policeman, a dignified cripple, a terrifying psycho, a pompous priest, etc. this movie sounds very very cool.
When does this come out? by Osmosis Jones	May 15th, 2007 10:30:50 PM
"Heavens to Betsy, Birdy...!"
Bungion Boy by keanho_in_nyc	May 15th, 2007 10:41:21 PM
Bungion Boy's reviews are always articulate, give the appropriate context to explain his like or dislike of a movie, and give you just enough information for you to say, "Wow, this sounds like something I'll really enjoy!" or "I'm going to skip this one; it ain't my cup of tea" - REGARDLESS of whether or not he liked it. IMHO - the epitome of an ideal review.

keanho_in_nyc: PLAAAAAANT!
Lone Gun, count me in on that! by Clancy Van Lustbader	May 16th, 2007 01:49:57 AM
I'd love to see the Coens do 'Killer Inside Me'. Extraordinary. It had a big impact on a young Kubrick too. Still a very harsh, uncomprosing read. Maybe even more so, considering when it was written. Can you believe it's been 60 years since it was published? Hardcore. And yeah, NCFOM am I intrigued by. Looking forward to the coming adaptation of McCarthy's 'The Road' too. Haven't read the book but the buzz on it (from a diversity of sources) has been absolutely enormous.

Apologies for the typos above (ahem, 'uncompromising'!). I'm not illiterate, honest.
Now my subject heading's fucked. by Clancy Van Lustbader	May 16th, 2007 01:54:53 AM
Shit, I haven't posted on these boards for a couple of years. Give a nigga a break! Violent Coen bros movies rock and stuff. That is all!
Saw this too, masterpiece is the word by filmcoyote	May 16th, 2007 05:04:41 AM
I have to agree with parttimesaint on this, people were laughing too much at things that weren't meant to be funny - especially at the beginning. This isn't Fargo, this is Miller's Crossing or Blood Simple. Now there are funny moments, there are some very funny moments - mostly to do with Tommy Lee Jones and his deputy (all i'll say is "still sweating") or a corker with the oft-mentioned Mariachi band, but i think the publicists know that Coen comedy like Fargo, O Brother, Intolerable Cruelty has done best at the box office so they are trying to say it's Fargo. Ironically it's not a million miles away from TLJ own Cannes entry a coupla years back: Three Burials - only NCFOM is a hell of lot more violent. Either way it's a masterpiece, Coens on top form. Oh, and Bardem? One word: extraordinary.
The Great Lost Coens Project. by Jakes Nel	May 16th, 2007 07:14:24 AM
James Dickey's To The White Sea, starring Brad Pitt. When, Oh Lord? When?!
Marge Gunderson by Barry Egan	May 16th, 2007 11:57:20 AM
What a great movie Fargo is. Marge Gunderson is one of the best movie characters of all time. I would love see another film with her in it, sort of like wht QT does with Earl McGraw.
Good review Bungion Boy. I by arisethedemonetrigan	May 16th, 2007 04:28:48 PM
Good review Bungion Boy. I remember writing a review and being called a hack and all these other names. It made me laugh and then go, "Wow, people take this shit too seriously." And being a retard is the new hipster.
