Last movie you saw?

[Dusty Chalk]

Maybe it's because Zodiac sucked? Not sure which I prefered less, Zodiac or There Will Be Blood, though. No Country for Old Men was actually good, though.

I haven't seen them all yet, but right off the bat, I'd put O Brother Where Art Thou up in 'genius'. C'mon, it's Homer's Odyssey, Coen Brothers style.

And although I loved Ladykillers and rank it as one of my favorites (it has a special place in my heart because it's the first Coen Brothers film I'd seen that I loved), I wouldn't call it genius.

Perhaps the perfect rejoinder after hyperbolically discharging your pneumatic animal execution device into your own foot.

don't you have a glass of cab to go drink, or something?

and why did Zodiac suck, exactly?

[Dusty Chalk]

Because the closest thing the movie had to a climax was in the middle, and wasn't one, exactly?

there wasn't a climax in the real life Zodiac case.

[Dusty Chalk]

Okay.

[EdipisReks]

well then, case closed.

[Dusty Chalk]

You can see the appeal, then.

[EdipisReks]

I AM JAKE GYLLENHAAL. THEY FOUND ME IN AN ASTEROID. I NEED TUNGSTEN TO LIVE. TUUUUNGSTEN.

that part of the movie was pretty climactic.

[Dusty Chalk]

Or maybe you just like movies about serial murderers.

And a glass of cab.

[EdipisReks]

And a glass of cab.

sounds like a good combination. i think it would be a little too metallic for a pinot, the ore would cover the delicate flavors.

[morphsci]

And a glass of cab.

What? No EVOO?

I used to read a ton of books about serial killers (and the one I read about the Zodiac killer was quite good); mostly fiction, but some interesting non-fiction as well.

When people used to piss me off, I'd hold up one of the books, and tell them to please remain silent whilst I read my Cliff Notes.....

Have to say, though, could never get into some of the "modern" serial killer movies (like the SAW series).....

While Ladykillers is flawed it was hilarious and I liked it as well

[blessingx]

The Coens' Ladykillers largest flaw is that the Ealing Studios/Alec Guinness/Peter Sellers original is approximately 479x better.

[deepak]

The original is better, but it doesn't make theirs any less funny.

[Dusty Chalk]

Haven't seen the original, but the way to think of it is that they're different movies. Is the first one "black comedy"? Because the Coen Bros.' one is.
