What, like 'burn after reading'? I wanted to burn out my eyes after watching.

Well that is the severalth time I've seen 2001 but a real pleasure to see it on the big screen complete with the original intermission which was observed! Still don't understand the ending (is there anything to understand even?) but it's beautiful anyway. Nice to see The Belmont Picturehouse (Aberdeen) packed and a round of applause at the end.

In time: Justine Timberland futuristic dystopia, everyone stops aging at 25, time is currency, you buy and sell stuff using the time you have left, runs out, you die.
Really shit and obvious '99%' bollocks.

On top of that JT is just such a crap actor. I only watched it because Olivia Wilde is in it, what a waste too.

'Burn After Reading' is great that film. Typically good Coen brothers. The two scenes that stand out for me. Brad Pitt getting killed, and the sex toy scene. John Malcovich going crazy at the end is pretty good too.

The Coen Brothers never make conventional comedies which is probably what pissed ya'll off about Big Lebowski and Burn After Reading. I think they're brilliant and darkly funny. If you hated them don't watch A Serious Man which I liked. I'd think of their films as amusing and generally good films rather than comedies

black comedy 'innit....

I've enjoyed quite a few Coen Brothers films. I just thought TBL was their first shit one. Nothing to do with a need for "conventional comedies".

'A Serious Man' is quite different it is way darker, even more so than Fargo. I liked it too, but it clear that some off it went right over me at the time. Interestingly I just read a review for it on IMDB. Clearly I need to go read up on some physics before watching it again.

Fargo is still by far their best work in my opinion.
Barton Fink & The Hudsucker Proxy also get honourable mentions in my book.
And True Grit was excellent.

Will allways have a soft spot for O'Brother too.

I liked Serious Man - didn't understand a bit of it though

Blood Simple, Hudsucker, Barton, Fargo

a serious man

TbL

Pirates is a bit underwhelming. Wish I see it in 3D, the animation was superb, and I enjoyed watching, but it lacked the Aardman magic I was expecting.

I'm going to watch the muppets tonight

You're going to East drinks?

Blood Simple, Hudsucker, Barton, Fargo

The Man Who Wasn't There.

bazinga!

Ides of March last night. Entertaining, if not actually excellent. West Wing with swearing but without the snappy dialogue.

Watched Herzog's Into the Abyss tonight. A harrowing and tragic story. Several parts reminded of different videos from the epic fail thread...especially Texan's love for guns and weapons. Wow, and what can one say about rainbows...she had a witness...

Completely and utterly this. Chicken Run was so much better. From the plot to the script - even though it had that anti-semite shithouse Mel Gibson in it.
