Oh, I've seen Blue Jasmine and it was more a recommendation for Bolle, even though he doesn't tend to watch Canvas movies. 1 hour ago, Glóin the Dark said: I love Blue Jasmine. It's the only 21st Century Woody Allen film which I love ... I think I agree. It's certainly his best since a very long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John 2,032 Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 I would give a few of the Coen brothers' other films, namely Fargo and No Country, a watch before viewing Buster Scruggs.

SCORE is well worth watching, even if there's nothing new for us hardcore film music fans. It's mostly for the uninitiated. And as much of a Williams fan I am, it spends too much time on him from about midway (even if they have no new interview bits). It has a very American slant. SCRUGGS, I haven't watched. As with Woody Allen, I'm not a big Coen bros. fan. But I will in due time, as it's readily available on Netflix. My colleagues have been lukewarm at best.

Holko 9,499 Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Anthology, but it does ramp up gradually and kind of builds on the expectations you have from seeing the previous ones. Naïve Old Fart and A. A. Ron 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen all their movies and that is the only one that is not at least "quite good". The fact that it is so recognized merely fuels my justified dislike. Maybe you like it the most, because it has the least Coen Brother characteristics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A. A. Ron 1,741 Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Score was interesting, if a bit long. It didn't have much information you couldn't glean from boards like JWFan, but it was cool to see so many of the composers whose work I listen to. Buster Scruggs was like a collection of the sort of classic short stories I read in middle school. I can see why it wouldn't be for everyone, especially if you're not big on the Coens, but I loved it. Great acting and characterizations throughout. Beautiful western scenery too.

JoeinAR 1,949 Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Coen brothers are most definitely not for everyone. Like Wes Anderson their weirdness is off putting to some folks.

bollemanneke 3,338 Posted February 22, 2019 Author Share Posted February 22, 2019 I'm considering to watch Air Force One tonight, but there's something really weird going on with the files I'm downloading and the information I can find online.

You can't take it at face value. And Gary Oldman is always delightful to watch, whether he's restrained or totally off the rockers, like here. I don't know anything about different versions, however.
