I could watch Tom Waits pan for gold for hours. Though after that movie we started losing interest and were pretty tired. We'll revisit and finish soon here. |

Trying to rank these seems tough to me, but I really liked the entire thing overall. I think the only criticism I have is that there were narrative beats and writing choices that echoed across the stories--I could understand an argument that these are supposed to be thematic resonances, but I felt like they just left me comparing the different films and trying to decide which used it better. I am talking about:
Joey mentioned how The Mortal Remains feels like a play, and I was all set to come on here and call it Beckettian so I would sound all smart; he stole my thunder! I am on the fence about whether to take the story literally or whether we're supposed to read it as something supernatural. I am leaning towards the former being a more interesting reading. I loved the use of song throughout. I agree with others that James Franco had one of the most uninteresting roles, but when he
it was a very good laugh. Literal gallows humor. Definitely want to revisit this at some point, like all Coen movies. |

Like this movie a lot. Stories 4 and 5 are really incredible. The best Coen bros. movies rank amongst my favorites ever. Other than The Lady Killers, have they made another movie with a minority in a starring or even a supporting role? |

Finally rewatching this (first time). Easily the best netflix exclusive if 2018, and a top ten movie of the year all in all. |

The Ballad of Buster Scruggs (3/5) 6. The Mortal Remains (3/5) Thinking about these now. About halfway so far. |
