Date: March 3rd, 2025 12:59 PM Author: carmine provocative space athletic conference seemed like for all the broad comedy about rural whites there was an underlying sympathy for them as well. for me, that was the difference between a funny comedic farce and mere derision.

Date: March 3rd, 2025 12:46 PM Author: Concupiscible pink ticket booth I didn't rate it so high on my first watch but rewatched it recently and thought it was great. Maybe just because compared to modern day movies it seems better. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5688271&forum_id=2#48710110) |

Date: March 3rd, 2025 1:03 PM Author: Lascivious sandwich state This is a good list. What’s remarkable about their movies is that I find it completely acceptable for you to like some of their movies I don’t like as much and to dislike some of my favorites. They’re very idiosyncratic.

Date: March 3rd, 2025 1:19 PM Author: Flirting rose tattoo garrison Yeah. I never cared for Fargo but I get why a lot of people do. They're just very talented writers and filmmakers so there's almost always something to appreciate. There aren't a lot of filmmakers that are almost always funny, but funny in very different ways. A Serious Man, i think, has some hilarious moments but that humor is completely different than Burn After Reading. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5688271&forum_id=2#48710248) |

anyway True Grit (2010) is the best movie ever made |

Date: March 3rd, 2025 1:22 PM Author: carmine provocative space athletic conference their TG was so much better than the original in nearly every way. but, sadly, Jeff Bridges completely missed the comic element in his character. Wayne did it much better. all the other roles were vastly better in the Coen Bros version. and the music was 180.
everyone should read the Portis novella. it's even better than the Coen Bros film. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/True_Grit_(novel) |
|
Date: March 3rd, 2025 1:38 PM Author: pale nudist station toaster the novella is goat potus
Portis based Maddie on old Arkansas biddies he knew as a cub reporter, and imagined them in their youths. of course the conceit is that the story is 80 year old maddie telling the story of 14 year old maddie. this is lost somewhat in the movie. |

Date: March 3rd, 2025 1:47 PM Author: carmine provocative space athletic conference cr observation.
Hailie Steinfeld's version of Mattie -- the protagonist in the novella, the secondary character in the Wayne version, and once again the protagonist in the Coen Bros -- is so much better than Kim Darby (who was laughably inadequate). that fact alone makes it impossible to favor the Wayne version over the Coen Bros version.
and as much as i like Glen Campbell he was no actor. Damon did a fine job. |

probably my favorite Damon role. |

A: Miller's Crossing, Hudsucker Proxy, Blood Simple, Barton Fink, Raising Arizona
B: The Man Who Wasn't There, True Grit, Buster Scruggs
C: Intolerable Cruelty [does this count?]
D: Inside Llewyn Davis, Hail Caesar, Ladykillers |

Date: March 27th, 2025 9:10 PM Author: Concupiscible pink ticket booth Have now seen them all.
Ladykillers is a D, Hanks is awful in it, story is dumb
A Serious Man: B. Very Well crafted but the story didn't resonate with me.
Ballad of Buster Scruggs: C, some great stories and some absolute misses too. At the end felt like a waste of time. Nothing tied together in any way. Maybe should have been a TV series. |
