A Serious Man

So for the past week I've been sat in front of my laptop desperately trying to hammer out enough coherent prose to submit for my deadlines next week. I've done around 8000 words but it ain't enough. Nope. 6000 to go.

Anyway this evening I actually managed to have a little break and watched 'Oh Brother Where Art Thou?' I'm not one of these Coen Brothers fanboys but I do like a couple of their previous films and I've been meaning to watch this for while. Anyway, the film was decent enough, pretty entertaining, made me chuckle a couple times and had a brilliant soundtrack. Managed to be funny without being irritating, as in 'The Big Lebowski' and 'Burn After Reading', both of which, although admittedly funny, were the worst thing anything on earth can possibly be: quirky. God I hate quirkiness. I can just about put up with Juno but 500 Days of Summer made me sick.

Anyway watching this film reminded me of a movie I saw a few weeks ago, another Coen Bros film, 'A Serious Man'. Now, I actually think this film is a masterpiece. It was intriguing, funny, dark, foreboding, had great performances, a great soundtrack and that guy from Curb Your Enthusiasm... aww you know the one... Larry's cousin... the really annoying one... Anyway he plays a guy with a cyst that he has to drain everyday on his neck. Need I say more.

Oh and this is on the soundtrack

I'm off to listen to my washing machine. I suggest you do the same.

Gnight.
