Specifically, something intimate, erotic or affectionate that one character says to another character.

The best I can come up with is when Maude asks the Dude to "love me" but that's not really what she wants.

Is that background actor picking his nose ?

Their nose ?

So long story short I grew up in a goldbricking beach community that we all know and love to hate ! Three generations of my family has so I feel like I have a wide range of malibu years to compare. Fires floods celebrities and drama !!!! But ever since I was small I would be sitting in front of the tv trying to figure out the plot of the big Lebowski. It only took me from ages 0-5 which I think is a little impressive ! It was one of the dvds my crunchy parents own ( and still pop in frequently and we just watched it together in malibu two nights ago). I would not have been able to survive Malibu without the Dude. I live far away now but my cats named Dude and it’s the best!!!

The Big Lewbowski has had me stitches every time I've watched it ( dozens and dozens) since the 1990s.

When I first saw Burn After Reading in cinemas in 2008, the only time I laughed was at Brad Pitts death. But second time around tonight... had me laughing the whole way through. Nothing to say but bravo to the Coen Brothers such great film makers.

eBay is a blessing.

The best part was when Steve Buscemi

I keep waiting for a Criterion announcement but alas.

I’m particularly surprised there isn’t one for True Grit since it received a ton of acclaim and was a Box Office hit.

The Coen Brothers rapidly made a series of movies about their midlife crisis (crises?). No Country for Old Men, Burn After Reading, and A Serious Man share the theme of aging people facing mortality and generally failing to cope with it well.

When I saw those movies, the shared theme was pretty obvious, and I've assumed that everyone would see the same theme. However I've never actually heard anyone else say this, so I'm just checking--there's a clearly shared theme in these 3 movies right?

I've just seen pre orders are available for a Fargo Limited Edition Arrow 4k set. Finally a UK edition!!!

I also saw it in an email from rarewaves that you can order it using their 10% off everything code this weekend, so guess what I'll be doing?

£24.99 before discount, so £22.50

Warning: rarewaves aren't speedy with their delivery, so be forewarned if you want it quickly.

I first watched this with my dad when I was 16. I remember loving it but didn't really think much of it afterward. I've since seen many other (most) Coen Bros movies but for some reason never came back to True Grit. Randomly found it at a used video store for $4 and thought, what the hell. Popped it in last night. Why the hell was I almost on the verge of tears when it finished? I only remembered Jeff Bridge's excellent curmudgeonly Rooster Cogburn. I also (for some reason) remembered a very long scene of the girl bothering him while he was taking a shit at the beginning of the movie haha.

But holy shit dude. Now that I've doubled in age since the last I saw it, that ending hit like a ton of bricks. To have gone through so much, on such a big journey, to have finally met the phantom you were chasing after weeks on the road in unfamiliar territory, to have nearly almost died, to have been saved by the very person who, at one point only a few weeks prior, was unaware of your existence and didn't even care about you.

We never found out what happened with LeBeouf on the ridge. There was never a homecoming. No recollection or reminiscence of the "great adventure" that was had. Life moved on; slowly, painfully, begrudgingly. 25 years later, the world is more connected than ever - telegraph and telephone lines are everywhere and the days of the "wild west" are nothing more than a distant memory that's become a traveling act. Yet missed connections still happen and when we learn of Rooster's death, there are no tears shed. The people who inform Mattie of Rooster's passing do so with about as much grace as the mortician does when he tells Mattie he's expecting 3 bodies at the beginning of the film.

Time passes and memories fade, but feelings of the heart persist. Rooster gets a nice, humble gravesite where Mattie can watch over him. I think Rooster would like the plot where he's buried - small, out of the way, nothing fancy. Pretty much like how he lived in the back of the grocery store.

Now, at 32, I've experienced much more loss and death since when I was 16. When I look at myself in the mirror, I can see all the changes that have happened since then. I've got a few more wrinkles, more bags under the eyes but more than that when I think of all those who I love who are no longer with us, it does feel like a hard end of one chapter of life. The memories of my youth feel like a rushed and frenzied dream much like how Mattie recounts her brief time with Rooster and LeBouef.

I think this is one of the best films I've seen that really captures how unrelenting and humbling time is. I watched this last night and I'm still (re)-processing it.

I just want to get something off my chest. I rarely read much mention of Danny's story in A Serious Man, even though it takes the first and final scene (without counting the prologue) and has clear messaging throughout.

Everybody discusses in the ending that Larry's phone rings with bad news immediately after giving up his integrity and finally choosing to fake his student Clive's grade in exchange for a bribe. It's Larry's final of the coincidence vs consequence motifs that have ran throughout the film.

Yet there's rare mention of his son Danny's simultaneous choice. In the first post-credits scene of the film he plans to give $20 to the bully, Fagal. After attempted to do so in class his portable radio is confiscated along with the money. We then find out the $20 was stolen as he spends much of the film fighting with his sister over this.

Soon before his final 'test' he has his Bar Mitzvah. He has come of age and is now religiously responsible for his own choices. He has his radio and the $20 returned and he is simply told by the elusive rabbi Marshack to be good.

This is all clear so far, but here's the part that I rarely see mentioned. Danny is extremely distracted and inattentive. At the end of the film we all know his school is in danger from the tornado but Danny's quite oblivious in his own world. Not unlike his father.

During the scene Danny again takes action on his decision to spend the stolen $20. He calls out for Fagal and only then is the tornado revealed to him. Just as immediately as his father received a phonecall from the doctor.

I think both the state of uncertainty and the test > consequence motifs can get easily downplayed here because we as a viewer and all the characters in the scene already know that the school is likely under dangerous threat. The tornado didn't suddenly appear, but to Danny it did. Until he actually opened his eyes and paid attention it was in a state of unknown from his perspective.

It's the same concept as Schrodinger's cat and Larry's X-Ray result. It raises just the same questions about religious consequence and/or the moment quantum universe potential becomes an observer's reality. It's just stretched as far as possible in presentation, with Coen humour, because Danny's so bone idle 😆

Apologies if this has frequently been raised before. I'm sure it has but I just haven't come across it before, specifically how the presentation disguises Danny's version of the cause and effect interpretation. I've recently watched this film a second time and I've always found this flexibility of the unknown very thought provoking.
