Most if not all the jokes were winners in my book. Some did fall a bit flat, but not enough to sour the experience or to really consider them as failed jokes because they were still funny. Definitely recommend.

He has one of my favorite jokes ever in one of his older sets. He says that there are people walking around with no teeth and they ask if they can "borrow" $100 and he's like "No, you can just have it."

I'll see if I can find it.

Well I certainly recommend this if you're a fan. I legitimately was laughing through the whole thing.

Children of Men for only the second time since it came out. ****ing brilliant on every freaking level. Definitely in my top 20.

My god, the cinematography alone.

Cuaron...

I do not like even a single Coen Bros. film. It's not even hit-or-miss; I reliably don't like their films, whether I knew it was one of theirs when I watched it or not. Is there some great secret I'm on the outside of?

Also the last film I watched was Suburbicon (Coen-written, Clooney-directed) and found it highly predictable and un-engaging.

how could you not like Barton Fink

In stuff like Fargo, their blunt presentation of their really dry humour just kills me.

They are a hit and miss for me, maybe you landed on the misses.

Blood simple, Miller's crossing, Fargo, The Big Lebowski, No country for all men are all brilliant. The rest mostly fall flat for me. It's been a while since they made a truly great film though, they might be over their peak...:/

I'm not exactly a huge fan of their movies either. My favourites might be Intolerable Cruelty and Burn After Reading. They're just basic, but funny comedies.

I also quite like a Serious Man and remember liking Fargo. Barton Fink was ok, I guess.

The rest of their movies don't do all that much for me. Inside Llewyn Davis disappointed me big time and was the movie that made me realize that actually, I'm not that into their films in general.

EDIT: Total brain fart here. I somehow forgot that No Country for Old Men is one of their movies. It's one of my favourites of all time. So pretty hit and miss for me as well.

So you like around half of their movies but dislike one of them so you're not a fan?

O Brother is an undeniable comedy classic too. Not a big fan of Llewyn Davis either tbh. Felt like an indie film vaguely aping their style instead of a Coen bros film.
