Burn After Reading is hilarious, come on guys. JK Simmons for life.

True Grit. BORING. there, i said it.

fucking hell, never watching a Coen brothers movie again. Big Lebowski was good but not the legend people make it out to be, Burn After Reading was absolutely fucking terrible, and this one was plainly boring. sure some nice dialogues here and there, but for all i know it's from the book or the other movie. everything else was dead BORING.

Big Lebowski is one of the most overrated films of all time.

+1

but I liked Burn After Reading.

You guys suck, the Coens are brilliant.

I have to agree that the Coens are rather overrated. I like Fargo, The Big Lebowski and O Brother Where Art Thou? (in fact, that last one is one of my very favorite movies), but everything else I've seen from them falls flat. Burn After Reading wasn't as funny as it should've been, and as much as I like The Big Lebowski, it doesn't deserve to be as popular as it is. Haven't seen True Grit yet, though. I'm willing to give it a chance.

Oh Brother is actually one of my favourite films as well. It's one of those films I never get tired of watching.

Oh come on! What about No Country for Old Men?

I quite liked Fargo, but generally other than that I never understood the appeal with those guys.

+1.

The Coens are some of the best filmmakers out there. Screw you guys.

Much

for the Coen bros.

Coens rule. Fuck you guys.

and +1 on No country for old man. It showed everyone that they can do serious films too. Even though I was a bit disappointed by True Grit it was still a good movie.

Finally! Thank you!

I can't believe there are people out there who dislike the Coen brothers. I've enjoyed every movie they have done. From Raising Arizona to Fargo to A Serious Man...

DevotedWalnut · **Posted:** Thu Mar 10, 2011 3:01 pm

I don't dislike the Coens, I just think Big Lebowski is not that good.

Azrael · **Posted:** Sat Mar 12, 2011 3:28 am

admittedly, i only saw the 3 movies i mentioned (lebowski, burn after reading, true grit).

but true grit, tell me, if any other guy(s) made it, would it get half the hype? i know how speculative this is, but COME ON. it's, in my opinion, a completely forgettable movie. if it had won the oscar, would it have been fair?

Well, "No Country For Old Men" won the Oscar against "There Will Be Blood" and yet "Fargo" lost to "The English Patient". I disagree with both cases, one for and one against the Coens. My point is that Oscars are a popularity contest, and make as many bad calls as good ones. I don't care what the academy thinks.

Except for The Return of the King!

...just kidding. As happy as I am when a movie I like wins an Oscar, I couldn't care less in the end. I mean, last year my favorite movie was Moon and it didn't even get a nod.

Kathaarian · **Posted:** Sat Mar 12, 2011 2:28 pm

The academy lost what little credibility it had in the recent years. It's just about the red carpet. No one will remember the borefest King's Speech in two years, everyone will remember Inception. That's what matters.

True Grit wasn't that bad.

Battle:LA

it definably wasn't bad or no skyline. pretty good action with decent plot. Was a military heavy movie but still kept me entertained/

Rhys · **Posted:** Sun Mar 13, 2011 10:27 am

I have suffered in silence for years about my inability to make it through THE GREATEST MOVIE OF ALL TIME, but now I feel I'm in safe company.

I only made it halfway through the Big Lebowski before going "Meh" and turning it off.
