QuoteHave not seen: Hudsucker Proxy, Intolerable Cruelty

No rush on seeing those. I'd avoid them actually. Too bad you had to be subjected to The Ladykillers.

People seemed to say that about Burn After Reading too, but I still enjoyed that mostly due to Pitt, Malkovich, and Clooney's performances.

I'll probably eventually see Hudsucker Proxy but not get around to seeing Intolerable Cruelty

The Hudsucker Proxy is good, don't listen to xmas.

Im sure its at least watchable and likely better. I found Ladykillers watchable and somewhat enjoyable even thanks to Marlon Wayans, JK Simmons, and the black lady.

Ive yet to see a Coen's movie that Id call bad or couldnt at least finish

Hudsucker has striking visuals, a great performance by Paul Newman and a really clever premise, but it is completely ruined by Jennifer Jason Leigh. She makes it almost unwatchable. And you'll think Ladykillers is a lot worse if you watch the original British film. Kind of like how the American version of Insomia looks like a pretty decent movie if you haven't seen the vastly superior original Norweigan film. Then again, could I possibly ever like a film with Robin Williams in it? Probably not.

Semi-Pro - by no means Will Ferrell's best but not his worst either. Started out quite funny but then lost it. Maybe worth watch if you're a WF fan...
God will forgive them. He'll forgive them and allow them into Heaven.....I can't live with that.

Im interested to know what you think his worst then, because I couldnt finish this movie

Blades of Glory? (has a higher user rating on IMDB, so I guess I'm in the minority) I couldn't finish that one. Couldn't finished Bewitched either (saw it on the plane) Alive & Kicking was pretty bad too...

For real??

And youre talking about the Robin Williams that was in Good Will Hunting, The Fisher King, Cadillac Man, Death to Smoochy, Jack, Jumanji, Dead Poets Society, and The Big White ?!!??!

I even saw License to Wed not long ago. Surprising unterrible.

He's had some amazingly bad ones though

One of my friends forced me to see Blades of Glory. That Napoleon Dynamite guy should have stopped after Napoleon Dynamite. He was brilliant at that role.

Blades of Glory I thought was slightly better, but thats not saying much. If I was Will Ferrell, Id be ashamed to be associated with either.

Will never bother with Bewitched, and I cant really count Kicking & Screaming because its a kids movie (but its no Elf)

For legacy/viewer's sake, he should've stopped. For his sake, he better make money while he still can because I think his 15 minutes is about to hit midnight

Yes. Out of those films, I've seen Good Will Hunting, The Fisher King and Dead Poets Society and he annoys me in all of them, especially Poets. Too bad, because Fisher King had potential. Would have been better without Terry Gilliam directing too. And Mercedes Ruehl. Actually, Jeff Bridges was the only one who was really good in that. He was great though. Plus, it had Tom Waits, which I always like to see.

I should be studying, but Who Killed the Electric Car is on television and I'm finding it as compelling (and depressing) as I did the first time I watched it.

The 1955 British original is far far better. Alec Guiness, Peter Sellers and Herbert (Chief Inspector Dreyfus) Lom rule!!
