Finally watched this on Netflix yesterday... Here are my thoughts: Okay, so I liked this but didn't love it. It's really good (with moments of greatness) but falls shy of being great. I'm forever in awe of watching the Coens work their magic. They're always able to take these old stories that we all know by heart, these shopworn, tired tropes and make them feel fresh, surprising, and at times hilarious. It's just brilliant craftsmanship and here again they earn a round of vigorous applause on that score.

Everyone else has already discussed it in a different thread. You’re just late. |

Board integrity is my number one priority you ingrate! That's why I stepped up and did the right thing! |

Ruddo, please maintain thread integrity and discuss The Ballad of Buster Scruggs here. If you'd like to talk/complain about general Coen stuff please use the appropriate thread. viewtopic.php?f=7&t=12981 |

The last three movies I watched were Terror is a Man, Malibu High, and Blood Rage. They were mostly good, schlocky, sleazy fun. The first two were better than the third, though. |

I feel like I could be talked into swapping my #4 and #5. |

The Meal Ticket But they’d all be incomplete without each other. Interesting ranking. Crazy to see Meal Ticket at the bottom. |
