Speaking of Coen Brothers, I saw A Serious Man this weekend and it's pretty good.

[Josquin des Prez]

You see, JdP, the Coen Brothers are pure genius (I would have thought you'd recognize that) and so of course they can do no wrong 

Sarge

Don't confuse intelligence with genius. Coen Brothers can be clever. Fellini was a genius. See the difference?

[springrite]

I need to see that one again. the first time through it flew over my head.

That sounds a lot better than being hit in the face, though!

[George]

Indeed...the author's failure to mention it pretty much negates the entire article. Calls into question his expertise anyway 

Sarge

That's why I need you guys.

Speaking of Coen Brothers, I saw A Serious Man this weekend and it's pretty good.

Another one that flew right over my head. 

[Sergeant Rock]

Don't confuse intelligence with genius. Coen Brothers can be clever. Fellini was a genius. See the difference?

I see you making judgment calls based on your own tastes...as usual 

Sarge

[DavidW]

Alright I'll pitch in with

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
Being There

[Scarpia]

I see you making judgment calls based on your own tastes...as usual 

Sarge

JdP can be clever, The Sarge is a Genius, I get it now.

[karlhenning]

Did you like what the Coen Brothers made of it in their 2004 remake? I enjoyed it more than I thought I would.

Sarge

I haven't seen the remake, Sarge!

[karlhenning]

Well, JdP has a certain genius for buffoonery, let us allow him that much.

[DavidW]

I haven't seen the remake, Sarge!

It's worth watching IMO.

Did not like. 

[George]

I haven't seen the remake, Sarge!

Nor have I, as I have a severe allergy to Tom Hanks. 

[MN Dave]

Alright I'll pitch in with

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
Being There

Good calls.

[karlhenning]

Oof, I still haven't seen Being There.

[MN Dave]

Nor have I, as I have a severe allergy to Tom Hanks. 

Me too. And Tom Cruise. And Leonardo DeCrappio, and John Revolta...

[Josquin des Prez]

I see you making judgment calls based on your own tastes...

Sarge

All judgment is self referential.

I see you making judgment calls based on your own tastes...as usual 

Sarge

I see that you are still too much of a wuss to dare argue my tastes, which would force you to drop your asinine relativist facade. As expected.

[MN Dave]

Oof, I still haven't seen Being There.

Oh. My. God.

[George]

Oof, I still haven't seen Being There.

It's better than being here.

Seriously, it's a very special film.

[Todd]

Nor have I, as I have a severe allergy to Tom Hanks.

Surely this doesn't apply to Bachelor Party, still Hanks' finest work.

I see you are still too much of a wuss to dare argue my tastes, which would force you to drop your asinine relativist facade.

This is among the best written black comedy I've read in a while . . .
