Duck and Cover

Just came back from watching it. Thoughts?

I liked Clooney as being slightly neurotic and Pitt as being adorably stupid. In the kind of 'I'd fucking punch you if I knew you in real life, but you're pretty cute on screen, in the retarded area' way.

All the women made me cringe at my own gender.

Also, I liked sitting back with the feeling of having learned nothing of great value apart from the fact that people and our inter relations are tragic at times - and yet still have felt that deep emotions were touched. Alongside some pointless comedy and violence.

All in all, I liked it.

For me disappointment. The film didn't really build into a compelling story, nor stimulated me intellectually/emotionally, nor made me laugh. I guess I got used to the fact that Coens, despite making some masterpieces, release some mediocre stuff once in a while.

:jew:

It had it's moments but it wasn't cohesive. It was odd, it was as if the Coen's were trying to make a Coen Brother's movie. Strange effect, that. Also I didn't really get the subtext until the whole "league of idiots" spiel. I dunno, the idea behind the film and what they were doing with it were fantastic, it just wasn't 100% there for me.

Where do you live in which they still play the movie? It must have stopped playing here a long time ago. Either way I haven't seen it so I will probably rent it.

It's the Seinfeld of spy movies. I liked it.

If you quote Jewish ramblings far enough, you'll end up with Christianity.

Dun-dun-dun!

I've never liked any of the Coen movies and this sure wasn't an exception. Burn After Watching.
