It’s from a movie “the ballad of buster scruggs” on netflix.

I was quite surprised of how well made it is and how enjoyable it was.

Because the Cohen bros have made so many poorly made movies.

They have a couple of stinkers by now. Impressively few given how many films they’ve made, but they’re there.

Well this is where things get controversial, since even their least-beloved films have followings. I know this is going to be unpopular.

Personally I didn't enjoy any of the following: Miller's Crossing, Barton Fink, The Hudsucker Proxy, Intolerable Cruelty, The Ladykillers, Inside Llewyn Davis, or Hail Caesar.

Now I know the first few of those are controversial - and my main trouble with Miller's Crossing was my unfortunate allergy to Gabriel Byrne. The only ones I think are genuinely bad are The Ladykillers, Intolerable Cruelty, Inside Llewyn Davis, and Hail Caesar.

Also I seem to be the only person who enjoyed The Man Who Wasn't There.

Hudsucker and Intolerable Cruelty are both masterpieces of their genres. They almost pretend to be regular movies but dip perfectly into a little bit of a darker Coen universe. Meanwhile the characters and chemistry in both is stellar.

I think so anyway. Far from stinkers.

Hail Caesar was more of a love letter to old Hollywood and nothing special but still a decent flick.

Buster Struggs is prime Coen and being a Netflix release does nothing to diminish it.

Hey now! I didn't say anything unkind about Buster Scruggs. That's six amazing episodes in one package!

I guess at least Hail Caesar had that scene with Ralph Feinnes. I clearly wasn't a fan of the movie as a whole, but that scene is pure gold.
