Nice to see the Coen brothers receive the recognition they deserve; their fellow SAG members named them best feature film directors for 2007.
I'm an unabashed fan of the Coens. Simply put, I believe they're the best film makers since that old British guy made pictures about birds, shower killin's, and peeking in someone else's window. They consistently put out amazing movies with incredible dialogue and characterizations, whether it be the absurdity of Raising Arizona and The Big Lebowski, to the gritty intensity of No County For Old Men or Miller's Crossing.
What continues to amaze me about their films is how tough it can be to track one down in a theatre. The Tommy and I saw No Country about a month ago, after finally tracking it down in one theater between Knoxville and Chattanooga. That's ridiculous.
I can only hope it'll now be part of a wider release with all of the SAG and Oscar talk it's been stirring up lately so people will actually be able to see this incredible film on the big screen.
