Damn. That Variety review is very disappointing and unfortunately seems to be backed up by other mutterings I’ve read about BAR. The Coens seem to work best when the story takes precedence over the cast and I’m really not sure that that was the case here. Damn again.
I just love a man in a tux. They both look zexy 8)
I now have my fantasy for the day……
BTW; if Brad allegedly has Botox treaments, why does he have wrinkles on his forehead,around his eyes and is still able to smile normally? I don’t care if he had dog piss injected in his face, he is still gorgeous.
@Geronimo – Right? But at the end of the day, I’ll see BAR not because of Clooney or Pitt, but because I am in love with The Amazing Frances McDormand. I don’t care how bad the reviews are, I would watch her read the phone book.
thats disappointing about the reviews. the previews looked hilarious and i couldnt wait to see it. i like it when brad has a chance to act silly instead of dead serious. ill stillgo and see it because i like the directors and the cast.
@Kaiser – ME TOO!! She is one of my most favourite women in the whole world!! Screen time with Frances will still make the movie 100% go-seeable. Seriously cool, I adore her.
okay…..I know Tilda is really tall and kinda imposing and has a unique face and way of dressing, but can’t the guys still hold her waist a little like they do to every other woman starring alongside them. They just leave her standing there. To me that is sad.
@Geronimo – My favorites are Fargo (obvious), Almost Famous (favorite jointly because of Philip Seymour Hoffman) and Wonder Boys (despite the fact that the Holmesbot can’t act her way out of a paper bag, the combo of Downey Jr, pre-Spidey Tobey and Frances makes it one of the best films ever)
I am a Francesloonie. Renting Ms. Pettigrew this weekend.
@Kaiser: All her Coen bros roles, Fargo, Raising Arizona, Blood Simple & Man Who Wasn’t There in particular; the mother in Almost Famous, Jane in Laurel Canyon – she has never ever given a bad performance. Haven’t seen Ms Pettigrew yet (ta for reminder) but I expect her to be as sublime in that as she is in everything else. Also a huge Philip SH fan. We have such immaculate taste! 8)
I like silliness and big laughs. BAR is already a hit in my mind. The Coen Brothers, Frances, Tilda, Brad, George, and John Malkovich…DAMN, doesn’t get any better than this. I’m laughing at the trailers, for goodness sakes. This movie is going to be LOTS of fun. 😀
@Kaiser – now you’ve made me want to see it all over again! *adding to mental list* Saw The Savages a couple of weeks ago and he and LL were just amazing together. (And she’s another one that can do no wrong.)
@Geronimo – The Savages is one I’ve been saving for a rental until I’m really in the mood… the previews made it look really depressing. But yes, Linney is another Can-Do-No-Wrong.
@Kaiser – Not giving a single thing away but it is the LEAST depressing movie ever, despite the gloomy subject matter. I promise you, it’s closer to dark comedy than depressing and will blow you away. Guaranteed.
@Geronimo – Okay, you’ve convinced me. This weekend is The Savages & Ms. Pettigrew. Maybe I’ll also watch my copy of Almost Famous or Wonder Boys (for the millionth time).
Yeah, so going to see this. The Coen brothers comedies are always over the top – that’s what makes them funny. I am starting to wonder about a lot of Variety reviews lately. They have been off their games as of late.
I’m with you Daisy, you’ll have to get in line behind me for Brad though… Gorgeous George I’m kinda not so keen on anymore; the love ’em and leave ’em thing is a big turnoff. Tilda needs a new stylist/makeup person in the worst way. The stuff she wears is usually not flattering to her at all. What a shame that she doesn’t make the most of what she’s got in spades.
Here’s a cool clip from Burn After Reading from Filmdrunk, and he makes a good point, too, about how some critics shat all over The Big Lebowski when IT first came out, and Lebowski is an enduring comedy cult classic!
Thanks for the link snowblood. Going into it now. I’ve just watched 13 clips of BAR on Yahoo.movies. I have never been disappointed with a Coen Brothers film, and I KNOW I won’t be disappointed with BAR. I’m going to love this movie.
By the way, some twit spilled the beans of the movie’s ending on some other website. I should have reported this nitwit immediately. So cruel. If I can only remember where it’s posted.
You’re welcome, bella, and here’s another one – which is crack-up-out-loud funny, Malkovich is I think a genius and Brad Pitt looks like he’s going to be absolutely perfectly funny – the more I read about/watch clips of this film, the more excited I am to go see it!
Yeah Snowblood, ITA with you. Saw the clip. John M is PERFECT in this role. Big fan of his. As for Frances M., she can do no wrong in my eyes. She’s a natural comedian, and a fantastic actress. 😀
Wow, Tilda’s dress is not crazy. Good for you, Tilda!
The header pic reminds me of that famous photo of Gary Cooper, Van Heflin, Jimmy Stewart and somebody else, all in tuxes, laughing their a$$es off.
Love men who know how to wear a tux. Yum.
I know. I’m trying to convince my boyfriend that he needs to have one made for an event this fall.
Needless to say he is dragging his feet.
Damn. That Variety review is very disappointing and unfortunately seems to be backed up by other mutterings I’ve read about BAR. The Coens seem to work best when the story takes precedence over the cast and I’m really not sure that that was the case here. Damn again.
Tilda’s still stunning.

Eh, I don’t give a shit, I’ll see it anyway. All Cohen Brothers get some shitty reviews

boooooooooring! i’m over brad & george. they’re so 5 minutes ago!

“minor piece of silliness”??

Some film critics have said the movie company should have followed the directions in the title of the script.
@Geronimo – Oh, YES! I’m a Hoffmanaholic. Have you ever seen Flawless, with DeNiro? Best. Drag. Ever.
(actually didn’t like The Man Who Wasn’t… found it too existential, too little story. But Frances is always the best part of even mediocre films)
…My God, we really do have immaculate taste. 😆
@Kaiser – now you’ve made me want to see it all over again! *adding to mental list* Saw The Savages a couple of weeks ago and he and LL were just amazing together. (And she’s another one that can do no wrong.)
Frances McDormand was great in Fargo and hysterical in Raising Arizona. Haven’t seen the other films yet.
I don’t care about those reviews. I’ve wanted to see it after the first preview.
@Geronimo – The Savages is one I’ve been saving for a rental until I’m really in the mood… the previews made it look really depressing. But yes, Linney is another Can-Do-No-Wrong.

Vdantev,
That’s hysterical !
Frances McDormand in The Wonder Boys – brilliant !!
Brad & George SO have a good laugh going on between them . . .
Yeah, so going to see this. The Coen brothers comedies are always over the top – that’s what makes them funny. I am starting to wonder about a lot of Variety reviews lately. They have been off their games as of late.

Love the song “Grounds for Divorce” that the Coen Brothers used for their trailer. This movie is going to be a smash hit 😛
