Maybe....?



HAIL CAESAR
In the theater
As the credits rolled


B: That was NOT worth it.
Me: Are you kidding me?
B: Definite renter.
Me: What? Are you kidding? COEN BROTHERS.
B: We didn't even pay matinee price for this. I'm mad!
Me: You laughed your ASS off when...
B: Yeah, I know.
Me: AND when they said...
B: That, too.
Me: And what about...
B: But funny scenes don't make a funny movie.

I don't know what to tell you. Some segments would have completely missed B (the Hollywood movie system/power of the press in that day, pithy debates over WAIT I won't spoil that either) but I have to admit it wasn't the greatest Coen film ever. Then again, which one is? Depends on who you ask. That's up for debate. Perhaps a pat ending would have helped? Yeah, right. As if The Great Lebowski had an 'ending.'

Me: Okay fine. Perhaps it wasn't a shot-for-shot, line-for-line masterpiece.
B: I'll say.
Me: Like Raising Arizona.
B: Hold on WHAT??? That wasn't even that good.
Me: NOW you've lost your mind.

To me? Raising Arizona was better than anything, Hudsucker Proxy was better than Lebowski which had killer moments but wasn't a whole movie and Fargo just wasn't my thing. Sorry.

See what I mean?
