I've seen it. I didn't really care for it. But I know we tend to have similar tastes. What about it connected for you?Farmer John wrote:It's the kind of movie where the less you know about it, the better the experience will be.

I don't know, I just thought it was really well done. I love unsettling movies like this. The mounting paranoia mixed with awkward social dynamics. The atmosphere. The costumes! The pageantry!durdencommatyler wrote:I've seen it. I didn't really care for it. But I know we tend to have similar tastes.

Right on. I wanted to like it more. I'd heard such great things. But it ultimately fell flat for me. Glad it worked for you.

I’ve never seen you as a Ben Affleck. Casey, maybe, without the sexual harassment tendencies.

Ben Affleck's character sure had a thing for spanking young boys' asses.

I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

To be fair I've mostly avoided the consensus lower-tier ones. Never seen Ladykillers, Man Who Wasn't There, etc.durdencommatyler wrote:Man, our Coen tastes are pretty differentMickey wrote:A Serious Man.
