Not familiar enough with the rest of their work to pass that kind of comment I'm afraid. But it definitely went into my 'big list of awesome films that I watched once'. I was just a bit pissed off that Chigure didn't die at the end... even if he did have a 'fucking bone poking through his arm'.

He's a metaphor for determinism.

My friends thought i was so incisive when i came out of the movie saying 'that film was a metaphor for determinism'...everyone agreed with my insight and marvelled at how i'd so quickly summed up the movie...i thought the funniest line was when llewellyn went into the shop wearing his hospital pyjamas and asked if the guy sold socks and the shop guy replied 'yeah, but only white ones' ...o brother where art thou is still my fave though

Anyways, if you're pissed that the Coens didn't wrap things up all nice and tidy, don't blame them (although, when do they) blame Cormac McCarthy. It's his book that they basically followed to the letter. Brilliantly, naturally. I need to see more of their early stuff before I can definitively rank NCFOM as their best, but I might cheat and skip Ladykillers. I actually sat through Intolerable Cruelty once, although in my defense, I was on an airplane without a parachute.

heavycola: Your picture reminds me of a movie I saw recently.

Geoff, maybe you saw I Am Legend. The Will Smith resemblance is uncanny.

Kind of reminds me of Wolverine

Ladykillers? Intolerable Cruelty? These are Coen Brothers movies? I fear you are mistaken.

Fear not.
