Well Raising Arizona is funnier than The Big Lebowski.

That wasn't a knock on TBL, I love that movie....but Raising Arizona is much funnier in my opinion."Looking like Nic Cage dressed in Kurt Cobain's closet. I mean that as a compliment" - BillyG

And it has a chase scene that paved the way for such memorable foot chases as those seen in Narc, the Bourne Ultimatum, and Strange Days. With less banjo solos, of course. Sorry if it was some sort of indictment of Lebowski, because The Dude is great. But, Raising Arizona is the OG Coen comedy, and it is still just as good as it was when it first came around.
Burn After Reading definitely has a cast that would be comfortable in either universe. I could see Linda (McDormand) living in the same apartment complex as The Dude at some point. Maybe they'd hit it off.
EDIT: After sleeping on it, I liked it much more than I thought.Last edited by Captain Russ; 09-13-2008, 02:05 PM.Me quick one want slowComment

Saw Talk to Me earlier. As sad as it sounds, it was the first time that I had heard of Petey Green. Don Cheadle and Chewie Ejiofor are great, have a great rapport, which added to film. Definitely worth checking out for their performances, even if it is a bit of an uneven film.
Time to finally open and watch, what we FILM STUDENTS refer to as, a classic: Le Samourai. Subtitles HO!Me quick one want slowComment

It has it's ups and downs. Too bad you can't have many conversations about it, as my school mostly consists of tools/toolsheds and business students.
When you bring up a good, guilty pleasure as something that you enjoy, like Tango and Cash or Chris Lambert's Fortress, you get the elitist stink eye. It seems you're only allowed to discuss Truffaut or Antonioni if you want someone to reciprocate.

Yeah, that must suck. When people can't appreciate a nice Jack Burton or an epic Ray Tango it makes me die a bit on the inside."Looking like Nic Cage dressed in Kurt Cobain's closet. I mean that as a compliment" - BillyG

Le Samourai kicked French New Wave ass. Alain Delon as Jeff the Hitman is so fucking cool. Equal parts Steve McQueen and a young Jack Nicholson. But French. Tight direction, moody as all hell, and paced pretty briskly. The ending definitely hits like a sucker punch. Check it out if you have access to a Criterion Collection near you.
Also saw Once, finally. I'd seen the last half of it sometime earlier this year and never got around to seeing it all the way through until tonight (I have the sort of social life most hermits would kill for). So very, very good. The music, the chemistry between the leads, and the lack of typical romcom cliches made it worth the wait. Better late than never.Me quick one want slowComment

Still haven't seen Once yet. I believe it's on my que somewhere. Probably buried beneath Transformers on Blu and Predator 2."Looking like Nic Cage dressed in Kurt Cobain's closet. I mean that as a compliment" - BillyG

I saw Shaun of the Dead, finally. I know, I should have seen it already, but I never did. I was impressed by some of the shots in the film. I loved it. I also watched All the Boys Love Mandy Lane. I liked it more than I thought I would. Amber Heard isn't bad on the eyes either."With all the dick sucking and butt fucking jokes we make, this is the gayest thing ever posted on BDR.

So I watched the Big Lebowski yesterday for the hundredth time and today at work I'm standing out front having a smoke and John Goodman walks over and ask for a light... I just wanted to ask him if he could get me a toe!

Fortress love here...but my favorite was the 1986 made for TV version, saw it on Saturday afternoon movies when I was like 10, greatness...
Watched The Untouchables...awesome flick. Costner is great, DeNiro is great, Garcia is meh...and Fucking Connery stole the show.
Chick Flick...watched a good portion of Music and Lyrics with my wife...meh, fucking crap to be honest, but Hugh Grant is fucking hilarious in this shit. British humor is so not teh suck.Instagram: thepatronsaintofcheeseburgersComment
