lol.... those are two of my favorite movies :)

I watched caravaggio last night... which has severely enhanced my desire to have sex with sean bean circa 1986.

Really? Why?

I watched them both expecting or at least hoping to like them. Fargo was a disjointed adventure where the entire movie is spent making fun of how they talk. No country was similarly disjointed IMO.. The way the characters died all of a sudden, and the ending was so annoying too. Perhaps I just don't get some sort of mystical symbolism about their movies..

Different strokes I guess.. but a waste of a few hours on my part IMO.. :)

a big part of it comes from the realization that the coen brothers are always making noir thrillers. every movie they make is a sort of reshuffling of visual cues to tell a really good noir.

I'm reading a lot of them right now for a class I'm taking, so I have a lot of dashiel hammet and raymond chandler on the brain.... but basically, the idea is that a noir tells a story following a central character that has to resolve some issue, and they do it by traveling through their setting, and as we follow them, we explore the setting and the people in it.

the thing the character is trying to resolve can vary wildly (I just finished reading the long goodbye.... and you weren't even sure WHAT was being resolved until thev book was actually over)... but the point of the story isn't really that conflict, or mystery, or whatever... it;'s the exploration. it's building a world and meeting the people in it.

that's what the coen's do. fargo is an absolutely CLASSIC noir, just with an entirely different set of visual cues. the central thread of the movie shifts through the different characters perspectives, and as events transpire, the status quo of the story changes, and the characters shifting circumstances play out.... that's where the entertainment is.

if you're trying to have a solid "what's the conflict? resolve the conflict!" movie experience.... you're kind of missing the point. it's all those moments, all those characters that are fun.

no country for old men is an even better example.... you were looking for rising conflict, climax, resolution.... but the movie is about all those moments. they don't show Llewelyn die because that's not the point. it's all the separate parts of the journey he took to get there :)

I'm not trying to change your mind, as it happens... I'm just answering the question "why?"
 
Frozen...again...did I mention I've watched it 10 times this week??

It's so cute! I love that movie!!

Breakdown - a better than expected Kurt Russell flick
Escape from Alcatraz - a worse then expected Clint Eastwood movie
Charade - a very well acted and witty movie with Cary Grant, Audrey Hepburn, George Kennedy, James Coburn, and Walter Matthau

Well i did ask..and do appreciate your thoughts. We'll certainly have to agree to disagree tho..and I don't think putting any fancy labels on a movie makes it worth watching. I could make a film showing how delicious a dog turd is, but that doesn't make one tasty...or fun to watch. :)

I'm still at the "these guys are terrible movie makers"... and i don't see that changing. But thanks...;)
 
Catching Fire

I don't know why Jennifer Lawrence turns me on so much. I'd let her do anything to me she wanted.
 
From tucked into bed, back to back Lord of the Rings on TNT…..
And mmmm Aragorn is still a HOTTIE…..YUMMMMM
