This is a post just to cool down i :-p (OK, I have been phraseing it in my head but now it's on screen)
Sunday evening (when I am usually in a shitty mood due to the shadow of the upcoming week) we have picked a movie to watch with a very special method: based on the lenght! (It was already quite late and I was in a shitty mood, see above). The winner was an old Coen-film, called Miller's crossing, played in the alcohol-prohibition era of the States. I don't want to go into details, so let me just tell you that the plot is superb, the actors great, the dialogues breathtaking and the the whole film is just WOW. How movies should be: make you forget what's around. Important to mention the inventive (and partly invented) slang (see title) which makes (English) subtitles...er...useful.
Here is the opening scene, see if you like it:
if you do, I am sure tarelle will be able to find a solution if it's not in your local rental store :-)
Questions as an extra: do you like movies from the Coen-brothers? Which one is your favourite? Fargo? The Big Lebowski? No country for old men? (The darkest so far, as far as I am concerned). I hesitate between this one and O'Brother now...

It was that we go to see the Big Lebowski with Cs, but he was late so, we watched the Lost in space. Hehe.
Others I don't know if I saw, except Fargo, wich is excellent.
O' Brother ! It is my favourite, although Miller's crossing is now close to be my co-favourite.
Generally speaking, the last one that I have seen tends to be my favourite. Which means I like their films a lot.
My local rental store? You must be kidding.
I loved Fargo, but weren't crazy about the Big Lebo. I didn't see the No country, I want it though. I think we have it downloaded already, we just doesn't seem to have the time to watch it. Still, I just bought Big Fish. I am such an optimist.
Neither did I see No country. But lynx is so much fan of it that I had to offer her the book itself. She will tell her how reading the book is, after having seen the movie. Anyone interested in the Crossing?
You mean the book??
I always prefer books to the film version. Plus I have more time to read than to watch a movie. (I had seen only three movies this week, and it's already Wednesday!)
