The Ladykillers

I agree!

Sorry, but I just had to make this post.... couldn't... resist...

the toilet humor in this movie is no different than the toilet humor in the wayans bros. Scary Movie.  (although, its probably funnier when the wayans bros. do it.)  the big lebowski was great on opening night when i saw it and is still great now, the same will not be said for this piece of shit: today tomorrow or far off into the future it will be shunned like the red-headed stepchild of the coens oeuvre.  also, keep in mind: ITS A REMAKE.  just the idea of the coens lowering themselves to REMAKE a fucking movie is sickening, so anything that actually shines through in this turd was probably in the original (hence, not theirs), so lets not try to make excuses.  we are all in a state of denial because of how badly we dont want it to be true, but we all have to face the music.  they've been making shit for the past few years, and lets hope it stops here.

I agree with everything modage said except that the Wayans bros. are never funny.  Never.  Scary Movie had a good premise but didn't take it far enough.  Scary Movie 2 was one of the worst movies I've ever seen.  Scary Movie 3 wasn't anything to write home about either.  Someone seriously needs to make a truly funny either send-up of scary movies, or a legitimate one will all the requisite R-rated material so lacking in the PC world of these days.

Although, I haven't even seen the Ladykillers, and pretty much refuse to due to lack of time and the principle of the thing.  Like modage said, it's a fucking remake ... and it has the Wayans bros. and slapstick comedy meant to appeal to the idiots of the world like some kind of lame Hollywood gross-out schtick geared towards pre-adolescent boys.

the toilet humor may be the same. i don't think so, but it may be. But that's got nothing to do with the fact that scary movie is mainstream and the ladykillers really isn't. not that is a good or a bad thing, but that's the way i think it is. not very mainstream...

It is a remake but is also a remake that happens to be better than the original. and what's so humiliating about making a remake is you make it your own like the coens did with this. if the ladykillers were the lower point of my career, that would be a nice career. not that it actually is.

Haven't seen it yet, but isn't it supposed to be ironic?

[modage]

yeah but isnt 'of all time' taking it a little too far?

[Just Withnail]

But what if they wanted to really really ironic?

Bit of advice. The Coens don't handle their marketing. Marketing guys do. They're trying to sell it to the masses.

[RegularKarate]

I don't really see how that's "advice"

i'm trying to figure out whether i hate 'the masses' or 'the marketing'.  maybe a bit of both?  

[ElPandaRoyal]

You hate The Massketing!!! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!......... oh...... ahah.... ah........ yeah...  

[fulty]

How about "taking it a little too fargo"..?..!!

And I think Tom Hanks THOUGHT he was the greatest mind of all time, so it fits okay with me.
