New Coen Brothers - A Serious Man

[thirteen11]

Is calling lower income caucasian families "rednecks" considered racist yet?...I agree with Hellboy1..This dude is clearly INSANE.

This from the guy who wants to entire world to know he hated Up.

I don't like Nicholas Cage, Holly Hunter, rednecks, thieves, or baby stealers. So this movie had nothing to offer me.

Let's see...I don't like Clancey Brown, prison inmates, corrupt prison wardens or suicidal old men. By your logic, The Shawshank Redemption should have had nothing to offer me...hmmmmmm.

So what? Are you saying my reasons for not enjoying it aren't good enough? You want me to justify my not enjoying this film?

[ACH]

I'm mostly just busting your chops...mostly. I do find it strange that because the subject matter doesnt have much to offer you, that you still couldnt find the film enjoyable. There are many great movies I can think of whose subject matters doesnt have much to offer me...in fact, just about ALL of the Coen Bros. are that way, but I can still enjoy, or even truly LOVE their films.

The Man Who Wasn't There, when I think about it as simply subject matter, is a pretty lame, weak, dull, etc. movie. It has almost zero to offer me, and I'm not a big fan of Billy Bob Thorton or Tony Shalhoub to boot. But damn it all if the Coen Bros. didn't turn out a damn fine piece of cinema with that one.

I just wanted to put that out there, you don't have to justify anything to me. Live and let live I suppose.
