I am really pulling for them to work with some hot teen stars and make a real teen movie maybe with an ugly girl who is pretty on the inside and in love with the popular boy at her school whos plays football. It can be full of teen angst, oh yeah gotta have that angst. The way i see it all the Coen regulars can be teachers in the school and their only lines would be spoken like adults from Charlie Brown with subtitles that when read only sound like the adults from charlie brown. Goodman could be the football coach, or the ugly girl who is pretty on the insides Dad, or how about both. He can yell at football players and yet still be careing about his daughter, who is ugly but pretty on the inside, and wonder why she is full of teen angst. Maybe M. Emmett Walsh could play Goodmans dad, so he could also be the , you guessed it, the ugly girl who is pretty on the insides grandfather. when she asks him for advice he could only respond by telling chilling accounts of bad things that happened in the war, but only in charlie brown adult speak of course. Billy Bob could show up and kill the footbal player, who would be some hot teen star, because he was fucking Billy Bobs wife, then Bill Macey can show up in a duel role as both the good cop and bad cop investigating the death of the football star. In case where nothing is what it seems you have too look past the hot teen stars. there will be a big ragtime dance number near the end followed by the ugly girl who is pretty on the inside killing herself and the murder gets put on her. I think they will call it Angst. Or Hot Teen Stars or better yet Hot Teen Angst!!

Keep Well,
Dan

this is also really old news, but i never heard this before and thought it was really interesting.  apparently after Raising Arizona the Coens were offered a chance to direct Batman but turned it down.  wow, that would have been interesting.

prolly would have been dissapointing. I'm not much for Burton, but for the first Batman, he at least had the decency to commit himself to telling the story for the characters and situation entirely.

Coens would have done fine with the dark tone. Its just out of their amatuer skills they likely would have found ways to ridicule something in that story. Coens doing any story is a sign of them having some disbelief in it.

The Coens Batman would have been better than the Orson Welles Batman, but neither would be better than the 1966 Batman.

i disagree completely.

[ShanghaiOrange]

Ok fine. Welles' Batman would have been better than the Coens, but it still wouldn't be as good as the 1966 version.

question:  why does the Bat Anti-Shark Repellant work if its a fake shark?

[ShanghaiOrange]

The reason you ask that question is why the 1966 Batman is the best Batman ever.
