Maybe. There are only a handful of Coens I haven't rewatched, and I think they all happen to be my least favorites of theirs. There's probably a reason for that.

which ones?

yeah see i'm a big fan of three of those (though i haven't seen inside llewyn davis a second time)

i loved the hudsucker proxy as a teenager, but i haven't seen it in a really long time...i think it would still stand up for me though

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 don't dislike any of them. I just think they're kinda mediocre.
