Isn't that what it's meant to be? I love it, whatever deeper message it might be trying to conceal.

The concealed, deeper message: drink white russians.

I think, yes, basically it is indeed. Also, in some interview or something, I think it's maybe even just in extras for that dvd, they refer to their being drawn to creating a plot that was 'needlessly complex', pretty sure that was the exact phrase.

As needlessly complex as it was, it was still about getting his rug replaced.

I told you it was my favorite Coen Brothers movie the first time I watched it. Apparently that made quite an impression on you.

Just watched it for a 2nd time tonight, on blu-ray, and feel the same way. Easily my favorite.

By the way, Bardem Shmardem, the Oscar goes to Barry Corbin.

It might be my favorite of the Bros' flicks. I didn't watch it in theaters but I picked it up when it came out and watched it 3 times in one sitting. The pacing is amazing and I thought everyone in the film was top-notch.

Someone said TLJ's accent wasn't Texan...Isn't he from Texas? I watched the "making of" on the DVD and I'm pretty sure they said he was from the area so he sort of the expert *on* the accent...No?

Jon, I actually think you will *really* like this film. Going on a limb (Not like a "C's in 5" sure-thing...just a limb)

"As compared to what, the Bubonic Plague?"

In all seriousness, I'll give it a "Meh"+. It seemed like this movie wanted to be both a hardscabble "Natural Born Killers", and a serious character study of the sheriff. I think it failed ultimately at both. I personally wanted more time with the sheriff and his immediate circle, and more time with Llewellyn and his folk, and less following Anton around, which gave me a superficial visceral pleasure, but not much more. The movie would have been more effective had Anton actually been more ghost-like (as sherrif #2 says) and less slasher film killer.

Serious question #2: MRS, did your dad send his dad to prison, just wondering........

No, but I wish, I believe he was sentenced in Tejas.
