I liked the initial vignette (although the ending caught me by surprise) and my favorite was the prospector.

Loved it. The fact that some segments were a bit strange didn’t detract at all from the whole. Great choice of music. The wagon train episode alone was outstanding.

I did the exact same thing!

After the first “gun fight” I started laughing so I continued. The unarmed “gun fight” with the loose table board had me rolling.

I’m waiting for the fam to go to bed so I can watch it all the way through.

I thought it was pretty good. The first chapter was hilarious - but less funny and darker with each chapter. "Meal Ticket" was just cold. "The Girl Who Got Rattled" was just sad.

Fargo was pretty good but I don’t like being lied to.

It was not a true story. Not even based on one.

I'm kinda split. I thought the first 2 were pretty funny, but then it got darker and darker. The guy with no arms and legs,....come on! The spinster on the wagon train, I about cried. The last one I didn't even get.

It's only a topic of interest if your weird, but I don't see any great movie skills. I did like the prospector though. The spinster built you up for a happy ending and the prospector seemed hopeless but then turned a twist.

It was kinda like "What did I just watch?" The guy with no arms and legs, Jeesh!

My favorite Coen Brothers movie (perhaps my favorite movie period) was “True Grit.” It scored 89% in Rotten Tomatoes and featured Hailee Steinfeld (won an award for best young actress), Jeff Bridges, Matt Damon, and Josh Brolin. Two Jewish brothers who wonderfully wove in the hymn “Leaning on the Everlasting Arms.”

No County for Old Men
Blood Simple

Those are my favorite creepy Coen flicks.

Outstanding series of short stories. Funny, sad, serious, thought provoking, exceptional characters and character development, gorgeous cinematography, excellent writing. The Cohen Brothers unique stamp appears throughout.

One word of advice. Pause the first and last page of each short story and read for extra added insights, and be sure to pay special attention to each of the story picture plates and their subheadings.

Enjoy, we did.

I watched part of it earlier today. Very dark humor. I may try again or not. Not sure I need that kind of darkness right now.

I watched Ballard of Buster Scruggs last night also. Enjoyed it. Coen Brothers are excellent film makers.

It is an anthology of a series of six vignettes, all with Western themes. Lots of old western songs for the soundtrack. Excellent cinematography.

It was different but then I like different sometimes.

I'd watch it again.
