Hail Caesar!

Fun. But a minor Corn film.

Haven't seen this one, but it's on Netflix now so I probably will soon. Rank the Coen films?

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I loved Hail Caesar(!).

I think Llewyn Davis is my least-favorite Coens film by some distance

Miller’s Crossing —-> The Big Lebowski

I've had this on my coffee table, from the library, since right before the pandemic broke out.

Cool picture man.

Finally watched Good Boys. It was okay for what it was worth; most of the best jokes were in the trailers though.
Jacob Tremblay does an especially great job with standard material; he's an outstanding kid actor.

It's a charming film. Very funny. A wonderful little tribute to old Hollywood. There's a lot to like about it, for sure.

Joe, I urge you to watch the HD remaster of Blood Simple and reconsider this

I do need to revisit Blood Simple. It's been far too long. My memory of it though is that it emphasizes some aspects of the CB's work that doesn't resonate as strongly with me and doesn't have enough of the stuff that I do love about their work. It felt like a sketch that was fleshed out later (and better) in subsequent work. Seeing after I'd seen a good many of their other films didn't help either. It made it feel repetitive and lesser even though it was the first and probably more groundbreaking outside of the context of what came later.
