I really do need to see it again, my brain doesn't like thinking not much of one of their films, even if its not a hate thing. I really did want more out of Tom Hanks in a Coen movie though. When i first saw his character in the trailer I grinned for several minutes. I think in the Ladykillers the lady wasn’t so interesting.

Having J.K. Simmons in your ensemble never hurts.

I'd only rank it a spot higher than IC but it was still pretty damn entertaining. And as an avid Hanks hater, I actually liked him in this. His character was very amusing. But I can not WAIT for October 2. A Serious Man and Shutter Island being released on the same day. A Coen and a Scorsese. I liked The Ladykillers.

So forgettable that I can't even remember Malkovich's performance or if it was really very good or not. I do look forward to "The Great Buck Howard" though. As for Coens, I liked "Intolerable Cruelty" enough. It's minor Coens, but Thornton was great in it and the Clooney/Zeta-Jones chemistry is like gold. It's "Lady Killers" that I found mediocre at best (mediocre even by "regular" film standards). Colour Me Kubrick was not only uninspiring, but completely forgettable.

I am just really not inlove with either Pitt or Clooney in that film. They inspire indiifference from me. I liked Malkovich, McDormand, JK... but didn't love any of them.

But I really dig Oswald Cox, I love Pitt, I love McDormand and Jenkins... Clooney really especially got more interesting the second time around, i say "I could get a run in!" once in a while. its good. oh, theres no dude, or Walter.

No. Although its my least favorite Coens movie, its mediocre to passable. But Intolerable Cruelty has more going for it, even though it feels least like a Coen movie. Burn After Reading gets better and better and better with every viewing, I've seen it 5 times now and each time I have to reconsider where I would have placed it in my top 10. I fucking love it. I doubt it will ever catch up to Big Lebowski that way, but like TBL it really does gain so much with knowing what happens and appreciating the tiny things. Did I trash the Ladykillers? No.

It's just so un-noteworthy. It was a string of moments that made me go "that was kinda funny". There's an awesome sense of irony to the ending though.

Is Screwball Comedy really that dead? I thought it was pretty solid (Sure it's no Fargo, Lebowski or No Country) but still a fun watch (see also: Burn After Reading) Minor Coen is still pretty good filmmaking.
