Damn y'all got me hyped to watch this now suddenly. Pretty sweet prints for tomorrow just dropped:

It's a great movie! Every character is wonderful.

I went to see it with some friends after we went to take the SAT. Great movie. Watched it many times since. So many interesting characters. Love the music.

It's two weeks sir. This ain't Amazon.

Totally jelly....

FOP

not sure if this is an O Brother thread or a Billy Strings thread….the focus seems to be very fluid….

PS - I have found that almost universally men love this movie and women loath it.

My wife despises it and groans every time she sees I have it on. It's one of those movies for me that if it is on I will definitely tune it in for a while. And I could probably quote 90% of the dialogue easily. Must have seen it 200 times by now at least in parts.

so is this concert being live streamed?

I am a big fan of the Coen Brothers and was looking forward to this movie when it came out.

It certainly has some good lines, but the sum is less than its parts. I don't think the movie works overall. One of my least favorite of their films.

Going to Ole Miss and Miss St games... the drive through the western part of the state definitely gives the O Brother vibes.

And anytime someone at home asks me something I don't know: "Couldn't saayyyyyy" in Pete's cousin's drawl.

Liked the movie. LOVED the soundtrack!!

Yes starting at 7 pm central on nugs.net. Free for monthly subscribers but you can also do a free 7 day trial and cancel. Will be well worth tuning into, especially if you like this movie. Here's a description of tonight as it will be featuring a full ensemble of others:

And now I prepare to get totally flamed. I hate to say it but I didn't care for this film at all. I think much of it has to do with the fact that I went into it with the totally wrong mind frame.

For whatever reason I always assumed it was a serious drama. So I was completely thrown off that I was suddenly watching some sort of avant garde type comedy, although the fact that it's a Coen brothers movie should have tipped me off. So I found myself just totally perplexed and getting annoyed by many of the characters not really understanding what the hell I was watching.

But that's on me and I'm sure I'll give it another shot one day with a different attitude going in after tonight's performance.

On the other hand, the music in it is absolutely fantastic as everyone pointed out and I have listened to the soundtrack twice now and love every bit of it and can't wait to hear them play the tunes off of it tonight. It sounds tailor made for them and I can see why they chose it.

Also, I believe someone mentioned earlier that it won an Academy Award for sound and I can see why. I don't recall ever hearing my soundbar coming through so clear and loud that I thought it was going to shatter the windows. Absolute A+ on that front and award well deserved.

All that said, still looking forward to a killer show tonight as Billy and company do everything at an extremely high level, especially on Halloween.
