Yep, do it - even if Tony doesn't participate, do it!

You mean definitely, not "definately," obviously.  Also, Anton Chigurh of "No Country for Old Men" definitely would be just as at home in a bleak horror film as he is in Cormac McCarthy's near-hopeless western-thriller. Side Note: Do you think the mentioned "Fargo" scene could be considered horror just because it is gory or because of how intense it is? |

Do we really need to be pointing out spelling infractions?  The scene is interestingly non-intense. The casual attitude of the atagonist going about his grisly business stands in stark contrast to the act itself - there's your horror. Oh and, a dude is being fed through a woodchipper. |

If there is a Coen Brothers episode without Ted, how about Ted releases an episode that he does by himself for the many people like myself that don't like Coen Brothers movies?

So long as it does not include "A Serious Man". That was an hour and fourty minutes of "is this going to get better anytime soon?"

Did you mean a stand alone Tony episode? It just so happens there may be something in the works. Don't like the Coens? Millers Crossing? |

From the unrelated opening scene on, I never had a solid grounding with that one. Technically - excellent. Characters - typical Coen's quirkyness. Endearing, enticing and complex narrative full of promise but the story - what story? The whole purpose of the film seems to be an allegory for specifically Jewish mythological beliefs and ingrained unease, but I just didn't really get the point. |

You can't say the Coen's are unwilling to try new things. Given the quality and diversity of their work, I'd actually like to see a pair of episodes, maybe one for the dramas, one for the comedies. |

Did you mean a stand alone Tony episode? It just so happens there may be something in the works. Don't like the Coens? Millers Crossing? A stand alone Ted, Tony or even Doug episode would be great, as long as anything involving the Coens is edited/bleeped out. Oh ok, i thought Raising Arizona was ok when it came out, but I've found it impossible to sit through ever since then and henceforward every other Coen Brothers film. I just don't get them, but then i don't see the appeal of Kevin Smith's movies either. I guess with some directors you either go along with them for the ride throughout their careers or you're just left feeling cold and wondering what all the fuss is about. My favourite director is Stanley Kubrick, but many others would rather have root canal surgery than watch something like A Clockwork Orange or The Shining  Oh i did see Millers Crossing many years ago, and all i remember about it is that Gabriel Byrne looks cool in a suit, and there were lots of trees, can't think of anything else. Anyway enough of my rambling. Don't worry about what format episodes of Horror etc. take, who does them or their running length either, I'm sure they'll be fun to listen to whatever you do  |

Am I the only one who thinks that scene is hilarious?? I've always considered Fargo a comedy, and I laugh out loud every time I see that leg sticking out of the chipper. If there is a Coen Brothers episode without Ted, how about Ted releases an episode that he does by himself for the many people like myself that don't like Coen Brothers movies? Wow... someone who doesn't like the Coen's eh? I watch a lot of movies. I've seen zombies, vampires werewolves, seamonsters, and even a talking turkey dressed up as a midget, but if there is one thing I never thought I'd see it was a movie fan who doesn't like the Coen's. To each hiw own I guess, but this is just weird. |

I was the one guy in film school who didn't love the Coen bros., I'll admit. Maybe it's their tendency to distance themselves from their characters that leaves me cold. But Fargo is on my rewatch list.
Having said that, I would love a Coen brothers ep. I always like hearing intelligent discussion of films and filmmakers I don't quite "get," as it helps me see said works in a new and revealing way.
