Please you are all making me jealous as fúck because I have'nt seen it. Apart from their last two films the Coens filmography is exemplary.

keep The Spoilers To A Minimum Please Guys!

How about you add the *spoilers* tag to the thread name and keep out? We don't have any way to conceal the text and we'd like to discuss the film obviously...

Of course you want to discuss the film, but all you needed to do was post a spoiler alert at the top of the posts as is the usual for most internet forums regarding new films. It was just a polite request. It's not out for another two weeks in Britain, so I looked in the thread to see general opinions.

Actually you're being surprisingly coherent...

Ok, that makes sense, sort of...although I think Matius has a point there too...plus, I think it was intentional that it happened so suddenly and out of the blue...there has to be a reason. Which is why I think my theory makes some sense too...up till then, we were made to think he was practically invincible...then he almost gets killed in a random car crash...

I understand the point of the film (it's pretty obvious), but I think they still could have at least shown Llewelyn's murder (if they robbed us of the would be climactic showdown between BARDEM

and Brolin). He was disposed of as a meaningless side character, and I think it wouldn't have hurt the story and point to give us that much...the bad guys would have still won...*shrug*

I've heard about the Sopranos type ending, and I don't think I'll mind at all

I actually liked the Sopranos ending, but I'm biased, I've loved the whole series

Finally got around to watching it, and I was blown away. The Coens are really perfecting their art. What I loved most about it: they cut out the main character's death sequence/main action sequence, the way the movie tapers off without any real resolution (much like the Big Lebowski) and the silent intro and outro, which made the movie theatre feel very awkward. Visually stunning, morally ambiguous, and delightfully absurd. Thought I would be disappointed with all the hype but it delivered like a motha****a.
