certainly nothing that left me with the inner-turmoil & confusion that toase seems to be struggling with upon seeing it!

Yeah, my fav's Lebowski, and Fargo's hard to put in second place (or third), but Fink takes first for me.

i saw the happytime murders at my friend's house and it was very entertaining. not "good" but it was funny, and the originality/novelty was good

Yes. I am glad you liked them. I think he's fantastic.

So, Barton Fink. I've only watched it once, a long time ago, but I was really struck by it. The whole thing has a very weird, uncanny, surreal atmosphere, which really fits the theme of going mad. And things happen that make no sense whatsoever. And then that end, with everything burning: s e n e s c e n c e. That's why I'd put Fink over Fargo, even though I know everyone will disagree with me.

Hmm I don't know, I watched some videos after seeing the movie and it seems most people would agree with you on being one of their best.

I also saw it as the descent into madness. Other people insist on the religious themes, but isn't religion madness???????

Anyways, I just didn't care much about the characters or the plot, they are all kind of douchebags in some way, except the secretary, then she gets killed, I guess that's the message. Los Angeles is hell and people are horrible there. Those who aren't get killed.

Saw Ma on Friday

i've liked most of the Blumhouse shit i've seen but I have to say, for a film that went on so much about its "big twist" in facebook campaigns and whatnot, it sure didn't have a big twist!

i also need to rewatch Barton but i felt like its portrayal of "LA madness" or what have you was practically on par with something like Mulholland Drive in its combination of intensity & sheer enjoyability/"oddball" humor, unexpected turns and whatnot. The Coens are a bit more prone to humor (intentional humor, at least) than Lynch and to be honest I feel like I laugh a lot more when it's used in a non-comedy such as this one. Don't get me wrong, I love Lebowski, but something about seeing Turturro & Goodman's characters amidst this sort of drama is fantastically hilarious. or maybe i was just "high" last time I watched

For me one of the best things about Barton Fink is the insufferable piousness of the protagonist re art and creativity. If u know any “art is suffering” types in your life, it’s kinda delicious to watch the inevitable downfall of this particular sort of narcissism

i need to rewatch barton fink

fargo went up another notch when i read the screenplay and re-watched it for a screenwriting class...I guess barton fink might be the same. fargo withstands a lot of scrutiny and is one of my favourite films of all time, so barton fink being better is a troubling call for me

I don't wanna give it a letter grade because it's, I don't know, not the kind of thing you enjoy so much as you just experience and endure it, but man, it was well done

the only scutiny i've really seen Fargo under was from my cousins who pretty much shit on anything Coen bros that isn't Lebowski. i mean, aside from people taking issue with them having claimed it was "based on a true story" or wahtever. have i been living a lie?

In that case, I would strongly urge you to watch Arrietty, the Wind Rises, anmd Tale of the Princess Kaguya.

Good movie. They could've shaved 20-30 minutes off of it though.

Unhappy

SUSPIRIA (2018): I didn't really get this thematically as I was watching, but now that I've read some analysis, I feel a little dumb. C when watching, B in retrospect.

ALWAYS BE MY MAYBE: a bit too rote, devoid of personality, and light on jokes for me; my favorite part was the end credits song. B.

I really liked this too. What did you think of the ending? I didn't mind it but the final scene maybe felt unnecessary to me? I'm not sure if it contributed anything new. There was also a moment a bit earlier that I felt would have been a perfect ending for me and I was a little disappointed when it didn't stop there
