These two guys is why Raising Arizona was so good. That's a movie I can watch over and over, which I have, and twice in the theater when it was released.

Just seemed like filler. I liked Raising Arizona, but there's nothing particularly memorable about it for me. I didn't see Big Lebowski when it first came out, and when I did finally watch it I found it to be overrated as hell. And the ending of No Country for Old Men pissed me off so much I wanted to punch somebody. I actually bought the blu ray having never seen it based on all the glowing recommendations and ended up mailing it to a CP member who really liked it.
There is definitely a Coen vibe, but they have tackled a lot of different genres and tried things. So it is not too surprising that most viewers don't have a film or two of theirs they don't like.
The only one I would actively avoid seeing again, say a buddy was having a Coen film night, is Inside Llewyn. But several posters have sung its praises.
I love TBL but I wouldn't particularly want to watch it again if I was sober. [Reply]

Finding out that she bought his bs causes her to realize that she needs to take another run at Jerry. Marge is too trusting and the Yanagita situation helps her figure that out. [Reply]
