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.

You saw True Grit though, right? Because that's an A+ movie.
Inside Llewyn Davis was very well made, I just didn't care for the story very much. I'd give it a C relative to the rest of their filmography. And Hail Caesar, while it had its funny moments, is bottom-of-the-barrel Coens.

I thought they scrapped the series. I thought this was just a movie now.

it is, but it's an anthology film with six mini-stories
