It seems a little 'nhé'...

Pubrick · December 20, 2003, 05:10:24 AM

my favorite part is where they kill the lady.

they've totally lost the idea that the innocent, kindly old lady accidentally foils everything.

though "we must have waffles. we must all have waffles FORTHWITH." is one of the best things in a trailer ever.

Can't wait for this one. Hanks and Wayans seem funny as. And the mix of times is cool, first you think its a period piece (Hanks's fashion, the look of it etc) and then Marlon pops up in street gear. Coen genius at work.

It looks very...Coen brother-ish

That was hilarious. And such an odd group too. Tom Hanks in that weird outfit. Marlon Wayans.

The scene with the old lady slapping Marlon Wayans looks like something one would see in a typical comedy, but the trailer still makes me want to see it.

the coen brothers stole that from this movie:

Martin Lawrence is irritating!

Nothing to Lose ripped it off retroactively from the Coens.

Trailer looks good, really can't wait to see this. Looks much more Coen-esque than Cruel Intentions. And my doubts on Tom Hanks have gone too - he wasn't *Tom Hanks-the-same-as-in-every-other-movie-he's-ever-done*, he was *Tom Hanks with a Coen-esque twist*. Big thumbs up for the trailer. Coens seem to be back on top form.

But will this really pull in the crowds...?

People will pay to see Tom Hanks read the phone book. I did and it was terrific. I particularly liked his delivery on "Adams, Michael R. 820-589-9925."

I think you're talking about Wayans.
