A Serious Man - New Coen Bros. Movie - Trailer Inside - Blu-ray Forum

anomynous · 07-30-2009, 07:30 PM

Trailer here

Since it's the Coen Bros, I'll see it.

Reminds me of Falling Down in a strange way though.

Al Bundy · 07-30-2009, 07:32 PM

Rental for me.

MCT · 07-30-2009, 07:38 PM

Coen Bros. are overrated to me.

Deadset · 07-30-2009, 07:58 PM

Overrated? I think they do a hell of a job. I don't know much about their new movie though.

They have won two Oscars for screenwriting (original screenplay for Fargo and adapted screenplay for No Country for Old Men). They received their first awards for Best Achievement in Directing and Best Picture for No Country for Old Men.

Here is a list of my favorites. Burn After Reading was a good movie, just didn't quite make the cut.

No Country for Old Men (2007)
O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000)
The Big Lebowski (1998)
Fargo (1996)
Miller's Crossing (1990)
Raising Arizona (1987)

Edit: Comment on the trailer - looks great and it looks like an academic Falling Down

Can't wait!

I'm there. The Brothers Weird. Gotta love 'em.

The Hudsucker Proxy

Blood Simple

and sorry....but I thought that Intolerable Cruelty was

The courtroom scenes were just killing me.

Hudsucker Proxy is a good movie, I should've also included it. I haven't seen Blood Simple yet

Same here. I enjoyed Fargo but didn't think it was amazing.. Big Lebowski is one of the worst movies I've ever watched. No Country for Old Men started off pretty good but then the 2nd half sucked.

Can't get the apple trailer to run at work but I loved Falling Down

so if it somewhat similar I'm all for renting it.

I forgot to mention Barton Fink. Really dark and twisted like a Lynch film....excellent.

(Synopsis of synopsis:
Woody-style Jewish-family navel-gazing, with subtle Coen touch of "See, you can tell it's set in 1967, because the TV's are showing F-TROOP!

"

...If you're still expecting another of what you believed "Big Lebowski" to be for whatever personal reasons, crack open a window.)

Why would I believe it to be like TBL? What conclusions are you drawing?

I'll take the movie for what it is.

CYMBOL · 07-30-2009, 09:06 PM

You never know what you're going to get with these guys. I always check them out and usually half hate, half love what I get.

tommyboy81 · 07-30-2009, 09:19 PM

The Coen Brother are what they are. They're not big budget director's. They make movies that go to Sundance and other film festivals first. For the kind of director's that they are I don't think their overrated. Their mixed in with Spike Lee and Woody Alan not with Spielberg and Eastwood.

Oh I can't watch the trailer. It's telling me I need to download Quicktime.

Sorry, I just haven't met any Coen fanboys who don't think that the Coens should be given ten Nobel Prizes and that Jeff Bridges should be elected King of the World, while unable to name any of the other sixteen films the Bros. have directed.
(But then, that's probably because I'm sober.)

Hep · 07-30-2009, 11:11 PM

I have no problems calling myself a fan of the Coen's; I'll definitely pick this one up.

PH3AR · 07-30-2009, 11:17 PM

Like the Coen Bros, so i will see this

vegeta88 · 07-31-2009, 12:07 AM

Looks good; very unique trailer IMO.

I like a lot of their films but I don't worship the guys; to me it seems that almost all of their movies have similar plots, entertaining nonetheless.

iori · 07-31-2009, 12:08 AM

I will be there.

KubrickFan · 07-31-2009, 11:01 AM

Looks great to me. Although Burn After Reading was a bit disappointing to me (I've only watched it once yet, so that might change) and there have been some weaker movies, the Coen brothers are still great directors. I've seen all their movies and not one was truly bad.

jasonicus · 07-31-2009, 01:39 PM

I love the Coens, I will watch anything they make. I think Burn After Reading is underrated. This looks like another quirky movie and should be fun.
