What's The Latest Film You Have Seen?

The Coen Bros are in a bit of a rut I think. The last movie they released that I really admired was True Grit in 2010.

They were extremely consistent until that point in my opinion. Their release frequency has taken a hit since that point as well.

Haven't finished The Ballad of Buster Scruggs yet, but I agree. I'm not sure how much of a role they have in the new Fargo series, but at least that's been solid.

IT is basically if Marvel made a horror movie.

If you guys don't appreciate Inside Llewyn Davis then there is something wrong with you.

It's aight, far from the standard that they set for themselves.

That sh*t was an intimate soul sucking dive into a depressed mind who had minimal happiness in his life but still managed to pump out beautiful music while getting dumped on left and right by ex girlfriends, heroin addicts, and pants sh*tting relatives. It never came off phony either like something Ben Stiller would star in as the "Woe is me" jewish guy who can't catch a break. Sh*t was earned. It wasn't as flashy as their other films but the story and the character development was fantastic, plus a great performance by Oscar Isaac. I don't know if you've seen it once or a few times but give that thing another chance.

I might. I thought his music was supposed to be ironically bad.

This dude don't like Dave Van Ronk.

I haven't heard him, it was the Jared Leto character who made me think it was supposed to be funny.

Jared Leto wasn't in the movie. Also, check out Van Ronk. They're his songs for the most part.
