I'm not Jewish. Most of my friends that are Jewish, never share the secret phrases and codes that are apparently common phrases within the faith and community. So as a Goy, I'm pretty much ignorant of the customs and practices of Jewish society.

Some might be tempted to view A SERIOUS MAN as an uncommonly personal film for Joel and Ethan Coen. But while they've carefully recreated the suburban Minneapolis of their 1960s youth, and settled on a professor as their protagonist (both of their parents were college educators), the brothers claim that the similarities end there. This is all fiction. Not a true story. Like, um, FARGO.

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. I haven't slept a full night in over 10 days, I've criss-crossed the country nearly 3 times over, traveled to an undisclosed international destination and am finally on my way back home with nearly 20 interviews backing up from Comic-Con as well as a few serious wrap-up articles... but instead of actually getting some sleep tonight and preparing for my return trip tomorrow I will probably watch this trailer another 2 dozen times.

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. I'm incredibly giddy that the Coens are shooting these fuckers out. I love their films. I've even mentioned in a recent post that I love their misfires. I totally do. There's enough originality and interesting filmmaking in even LADYKILLERS and INTOLERABLE CRUELTY to put to shame most films out there.
Focus Features has a two film deal with the Coen Bros. The first is BURN AFTER READING, which we recently just covered when Brad Pitt joined George Clooney and Frances McDormand, and they sent out a press release today announcing the second film called A SERIOUS MAN.
