The Cohen Brothers are what happens when the filmmakers go to film school and see a lot of classics from the 40s and 50s that the audience doesn't know about and so they can just steal willy nilly and present it as new.

Their kryptonite? Netflix.

sorry to even acknowledge it, but they don't hide their influences fuckface.

Plus, support Central Cinema! They are awesome! good beer, pizza, and popcorn with real butter delivered to your seat. And I would imagine the miserable person above me won't be there.

Hey, Bailo.

Make a film for Slog and we'll tell you if it sucks or not.

*spoiler alert: It sucks.

#1: I'm pretty sure you stole that whine, because its been used to death by others.

One of the great tragedies of "intellectual property" is that the recognition and proliferation of good ideas is equated with theft.

No, they haven't made another film like it; they've made better ones. Many better ones, and many worse ones.

I'm too stupid to spell the Coen brothers' name right, and I'm proud of it!
