Help me understand/appreciate this film

Am i a curiosity for believing the Coen brothers films are mostly tremendous? Not seen them all btw. its just that the ones i have seen have something about them that delights and chills and intrigues me. Love to hear some views from you intellectual types?

Yeah well, that's just, ya know, like, your opinion, man.

didn;t even know there is a Kevin Spacey thread Also don't actually know the names of Eastenders actors, I haven't even seen the show this century

Great stuff

ETA: sorry, that was a lazy reply to your response.

If you haven't any interest in Spacey there's no reason why you should know about the thread.

With EastEnders, haven't watched it much since 1999. Maybe a few eps just to tune in and get confused.

But the first decade, was a fan. And knew the names of most characters. Even had a couple of the novels! And then there were those of us of a certain age who knew Todd Carty from Grange Hill and Tucker's Luck, so it was cool that the actor joined EE. Although he did replace the actor David Scarboro who was mercilessly targeted by the red tops and eventually committed suicide.

Obviously you’re not a golfer

aggression isn't necessary for golf. You are possibly confusing golf with wrestling - which requires fake aggro and huge muscles.

Slightly less mainstream view then. Love the Coen brothers but think their last few films have gone off the boil. I get the impression they're being kooky for the sake of being kooky. Hail Caesar was all over the shop form over substance crap. Buster Scruggs was often pretty nasty, mean spirited and occasionally upsetting (though the section with Tom Waits as the prospector was great). Llewin Davis was an annoying film about a complete arsehole. Like I say, I love the Coens and it would be great if they got their mojo back.
