I realize I'm only 24 years late posting this, but thoughts on this film? I really don't even know much about it and have never had any desire to see it but my leader Billy Strings is doing this as the theme for their Halloween show tomorrow evening.

The past three years have been Wizard of Oz, Lord of the Rings, and WWE Royal Rumble which were all stellar but I'm having a hard time getting excited about this year.

Worth the watch?

I remember it being entertaining, but I also have no real desire to watch it again.

It's absolutely worth seeing once. It used to be in the stop-and-watch-until-the-commercial category when flipping channels.

I think it's hilarious. One of those movies you have to watch more than once to pick up on all the comedy.

Such a great film. Classic Coen Brothers and gets better with each watch just like their classics. Clooney is playing a role he's never done before. The leading man, who isn't sharp, can't get out of his own way, etc. And the side characters! Incredile - Baby Face Nelson, Big T Bible Salesman, The Sirens, Blind Radio DJ, "Stay out of the Woolsworth" Guy, Tommy, Runnoft Boy, etc.

A kick ass soundtrack too

so many insanely great lines. this one might be my favorite:

Well, ain't it a small world, spiritually speaking. Pete and Delmar just been baptized and saved. I guess I'm the only one that remains unaffiliated.

Multiple times.

I bought the dvd and the soundtrack back in them crazy days of physical media.

Also got to see the legendary Ralph Stanley sing Oh Death (among others) at the Houston International Festival year or two after the movie came out.

Also..."She must have been looking for answers" is a common line I give my wife when she tells me about the problems of her friends.

This one joke actually applies to Kamala.

JR: We should get us some of that reform.

Pappy: we're the incumbents. How can we run as reform?

More:

Advisor#1: They gone paddle our be-hinds. Gone paddle it real hard.

Advisor#2: I think it's more of a kick'n sitch-ation.

BTW, movie is loosely based on the Odessey. John Goodman is the cyclops. Movie is teaming with symbols.

Also, need to watch on a high def big screen. It earned a Oscar for cinematography. For scenes like them hitching a ride on the back of the truck, just take in the beautiful tree scenery. The grandeur of earth behind their miscreant problems is one of the themes that is not spoken.

So many great lines. I use " I slaughtered this horse last Tuesday, I'm afraid she's starting to turn" often when someone comments on my cooking

Wife and I also say "R-U-N-N-O-F-T a lot
