Whoever you are, you have a great 21 Grams avatar. Gotta love Naomi Watts

What exactly does The Gold Trumpet think the Coen Brothers suck at? I want facts. I find it hard to believe it's enough to fill a book.

Quote from: ShanghaiOrangenaming their movies.

Intolerable Cruelty, The Hudsucker Proxy, The Big Lebowski, Raising Arizona

Blood Simple and Oh Brother Were Art Thou are pretty good though.

The Man Who Wasn't There I'm ambivalent about.

I think all of those titles sans Proxy tell you what they're about. Cmon, let's create another pointless thread...shall we?

Jeez, just a joke. And pinkerton, its not called needing to give facts, but opinion. My dislike for the Coen brothers films is well documented in these parts already.

My apologies. I am new to these parts.

You guys...You all realize that some of the movies you all praise have titles not necessarily revealing anithing about the plot. Look at PT Anderson's movies: "Magnolia" which from what I could see had nothing to do with the plot (except some say the road at the end is Magnolia Ave., but i didnt notice anything showing it); "Boogie Nights" doesn't realy show anything except maybe the 70s and maybe that it'd be dark; "Punch-Drunk Love" shows no plot at all, but a mood. In fact, I can't hardly think of any title that wasn't at least partly ambiguous. And for the record, I've always loved the Coens' titles. But...maybe we should just rename "Hudsucker Proxy" something more like "Small-Time Moron, Yet Still Loveable, Becomes Pawn To Corporate Fat-Cats and Invents the Hula Hoop". Yea...that would be a good idea....

Big Lebowski was a very appropriate title...

Raising Arizona could've been better, I wouldn't say horrible...

O Brother was cool...

Fargo. So simple and in it's simplicity does it draw you into a movie.
