I love the Coen Brothers, but sometimes they get carried away with the movies-about-movies shtick. Ironically, their True Grit was a straight, non-ironic Western that John Ford or Howard Hawks could have done and it was great.

Then they do something like Burn After Reading and I just go WTF? Also am not a big fan of France's McDormand.

Burn After Reading was pretty funny. Malkovich, Pitt, Clooney and Swinton playing such dolts was great. I agree with you on McDormand.

‘Burn After Reading’ was awesome. Its’ satire was virtually anthropological. I can’t think of another recent film that indicted the completely self absorbed, mass media driven lives that so many American lead.

Their ‘True Grit’ would have been better if they had dialed back the hick accents their movies are known for.

I believe many of their moves are successful based solely on the exaggerated accents of the characters. But True Grit really didn’t need that schtick.
