Just saw an advance screening of this. I thought it was fantastic. Incredibly tense, and great characters, and realistic but at the same time unpredictable. Awesome writing and dialogue as can be expected from the Coens. I don't want to give away too much, but if you're a Coen Bros fan, this is an absolute must see.
 
I've been itchin to see this one for some time...

My prediction? That Javier Bardem gets the nod (and possibly the win) for Best Supporting Actor. I see him being counted amongst the greatest villains of the last 20 some odd years of cinema.

Mark my words and mark em well
 
Just from what I've seen in the trailers I wouldn't doubt that Callaghan is right. He looks like a scary mofo.
 
More like Barton Fink. I love Raising Arizona, don't get me wrong, I just think, although it's entertaining, it's not on the level of Barton Fink, Fargo, or Miller's Crossing.

This could be in contention with Raising Arizona to be

The Dude might disagree there...

I dig The Dude and Barton Fink, but I have never gotten the love affair with Fargo. One of my all-around least favorite films (and no, not just amongst Coens' flicks)

My Top 3?
#1 Raising Arizona
#2 Oh Brother, Where Art Thou? (I know, I know...but the hell with yuz)
#3 The Hudsucker Proxy

...this list very well may change once I see No Country tho.
 
"The man who wasn't there" for me is one of the most visually stunning movies ever. Each shot is like a painting. Roger Deakins is amazing and he is also DPing "No country for old men". I've seen some scenes and Barden's acting is superb. I'm dying to see this movie.
 
Funny; for me "Man Who Wasn't There" is far and away the least of the CB's films.

Different strokes...

Yes, I get that response a lot. I don't know, there's just something personal about that film and me. The music, the framing, the lightning, the acting.
 
Well, your tastes and opinion are clearly flawed and I suggest that you start liking what *I* like, right now.

:)
 
I can't wait for this film. Seriously, I'm heading to the Coen's house and demanding a personal screening. I love a lot of their films but I never loved Raising Arizona as much as everyone else did. I may need to see Dr Phil.
