[The Third Man]

Maybe you'll shut up.

what now?

Your mom should shut up.

They overdid it with the accents and mannerisms in Fargo. The movie's a classic dark comedy in my book, though.

That very well may be. Expectations can take a big steaming dump all over a movie. I'm positive that's part of why I was underwhelmed with "District 9".

Which Coen movies have you seen?

Lebowski, Fargo, Ladykillers, No Country and Burn After Reading. I haven't seen Raising Arizona because I'm afraid it might change my opinion of Nick Cage, which is somewhere along the lines of "I think he sucks teet."

Watch Blood Simple. Well watch all of them, but watch Blood Simple. If you like their more dramatic stuff, you'll like it.
Edit - I'm shocked you haven't seen O Brother, Where Art Thou? as often as it is on TV.

The accents and mannerisms grew tired after a minute. I think it was supposed to be that way, though, which was my problem, I guess. It was funny how timid and non confrontational everyone was at first. But after a while it was like "okay, I get it, they talk funny and don't get angry."

I've heard so much about it and yet I've, for some reason, not felt compelled to watch it. And that's strange because it has a few actors in it that I love. I always say I'm gonna catch it when it comes on but I never really do. I haven't heard much about Blood Simple, strangely enough, but it's at the top of my watch list now. As is every Coen movie.

i love OBWAT

I saw World's Greatest Dad last night and highly recommend it to anyone that likes dark comedy. Robin Williams plays a high school English teacher with an internet porn addicted, complete d bag of a son who dies during autoerotic asphyxiation. Williams makes it look like a suicide and writes a suicide note that eventually gets printed in the school paper. After years of having his own writing rejected by publishers everywhere he uses the new found sympathy as a platform to launch his own career. Very dark, but hilarious film.

Speaking of you and movies, it's my birthday. There's one thing you can do for me. You know what it is. Say hi to Paris for me.

Hahaha. Okay, sometime between today and the end of next week I will watch it and fulfill my long neglected duty to GRB.
