Universal's Intolerable Cruelty streets on February 10th with an anamorphic transfer (1.85:1), Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS Surround sound, a making-of featurette, a wardrobe featurette, outtakes, "Rex Rexroth's Home Movies," and trailers. Retail is $26.98.
Christopher Nolan's directive was clear to everyone in the cast and crew: Use CGI only as a last resort.

yeah, i re-watched this movie for the first time since it came out and before i thought that it was good, but their worst film.  but when i watched it yesterday, i think i hated it.  like, its terrible all around.  a few mild laughs and a terrible story just awfully done. i was planning to get it, just to have ALL the coen bros. movies, but its truly unwatchable.

Come on!!! You're being to harsh. It's commercial, maybe too commercial. Even the Coens thought so...but unwatchable? Jeezes...

Yeah...I read an interview with them, why they hesitated doing it.

It is the work of the Coens and it is very commercial...but I agree, it's their worst. I don't know if I wanna use the word 'worst'...it's their least interesting movie.

I try to get all of the films of my favorite directors...but just like I don't have Burton's Planet Of The Apes, I probably will never own this one. It just feels inconsequential. I didn't not enjoy it, but I have no desire to ever see it again, really.

Watched this again this weekend. I dunno what's wrong with you guys, this is a hilarious movie. Clooney is the man.
Those who say that the totalitarian state of the Soviet Union was not "real" Marxism also cannot admit that one simple feature of Marxism makes totalitarianism necessary:  the rejection of civil society. Since civil society is the sphere of private activity, its abolition and replacement by political society means that nothing private remains. That is already the essence of totalitarianism; and the moralistic practice of the trendy Left, which regards everything as political and sometimes reveals its hostility to free speech, does nothing to contradict this implication.

When those who hated capital and consumption (and Jews) in the 20th century murdered some hundred million people, and the poster children for the struggle against international capitalism and America are now fanatical Islamic terrorists, this puts recent enthusiasts in an awkward position. Most of them are too dense and shameless to appreciate it, and far too many are taken in by the moralistic and paternalistic rhetoric of the Left.

Quote from: ®edlumI can't wait to see this again on DVD. It did feel like a watered down Coen movie but I really enjoyed it. I think the absurdity of the Simon and Garfunkel soundtrack choices makes up a great deal of it for me. The pirest walking down the isle with the guitar singing 'April Come She Will' just kills me. I'm sure I missed quite a few jokes first time round, too.

Disapointed as it looks like there wont even be a Coen interview on the DVD.

No shit! April Come She Will is in this? To hell with my former fear of dissapointment. Coens and S&G. Why the hell isn't this on DVD in Norway...

Finally saw this.  I thought it was just as inspired as Lebowski, but it's a different kind of humor.  I loved it.  Clooney carried it all the way for me, and I credit the Coen Bros. for letting that happen.

Incidentally, I think Fargo is the least interesting of the Coen films, along with The Man Who Wasn't Blah Blah.

Yes, he took a break from Xixax for a little over 3 weeks and in the span of one hour has denounced Fargo and supported Mallrats.
