I thought No Country for Old Men was a very good movie. But then I love all of the Cohen Brothers movies, starting with the first one I saw: Blood Simple.

Anyone remember that old one?

Anyone remember that old one?

The same Cohen brothers who produced Raising Arizona and Fargo?

Ever since “Beerfest” was not even nominated for an award, I knew the Oscars was fixed.
I have boycotted ever since.

“Blood Simple” was definitely something. Frances McDormand was still a hottie then and it was the first time I really sat up and took notice of character actor Dan Hedaya (the abusive husband who conspires to kill her but ends up the victim).

Wonderfully sleazy role for fellow bit player M. Emmett Walsh as the private-eye-turned-assasin.

I’ve never looked at yellow leisure-suits the same way since...

"Blood Simple"

Agreed, an excellent movie. Also agree about all the Cohen movies with the exception of "The Ladykillers" which wasn't (IMO) up to their usual standards.

Isn’t No Country full of violence?

[what's up]

No Country was excellent until they killed off Josh Brolin.

Brolin carried the movie. It fizzled thereafter into a dumb movie IMO.

Old One? That was just in the early 80’s. What are you 30? :-)

I saw “Blood Simple” when it first came out and the charms of the Cohen Brothers still allude me.

But I know they have a strong following.

Coen brothers.

Blood Simple. Anyone remember that old one?

The movie characters had no idea how the movie ended. You had to be sitting in the audience to see how the movie ended.

Old Men was entertaining, but there were never people around other than the victims and the killer. Nobody at either hotel saw the guy walking around carrying a silenced shotgun, or when he stuffed a rag into a gas cap. Woody willingly walked to his death, the wife didn’t run screaming when she saw the guy.

The only one person fought the killer; I found that very strange

Yes, and “Miller’s Crossing” and “Barton Fink”, too...
