20. "Peeped it last night in Chitown..." In response to In response to 19
It is overrated!
I'm all for the classic corkiness of the Coens? However, there was no fun to be had and it was not really that funny. In fact, I just felt sorry for the guy. A few chuckle scenes here and there, but this was one of their worst films IMO.
I would have preferred a whole entire film that focused on the son instead and him growing up as a Jew in that era...of course they would have to keep those cursing kids on his bus.
This night would have been disappointing...however, I got to meet William Dafoe in the same theater in Chicago (he was there for the Film Festival showing "Antichrist") and he is one the coolest and humble cats I ever met. He was just in the lobby, chilling with everyone...he was not on any hollywood shit. Oh yeah, "Antichrist" was pretty good...a lil' weird and a lil' shocking in some scenes...but, well made.
Oh yeah, I all got to meet the film critic, Michael Philips of the new "At The Movies". He was also very nice, but I wish I got to see him after I seen "Serious Man" and tell him how much he was wrong about calling it the best film he seen all year...please!
