Has anyone seen the Coen’s version of The Ladykillers? I have been avoiding it, so great is my love for the original…and this kind old lady.

don’t bother ^

+2 The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes

Thanks, Ruby. That’s what I thought. Avoiding their True Grit for the same reason. Why mess with a good original? The copies are never the same.

yes and ladykillers was particularly bad. i think it’s the coens’ weakest film

True Grit is in some ways superior to the original. The Ladykillers is . . . um . . . not.

So…what two films are gonna die this round? Seeing as we do kinda have to kill off two films according to Polaris’ rules..

like doofu said, holy mountain needs to die

FWIW, I love the Coen version of Ladykillers. Even more than the original. But I’m crazy about them Coens. Apparently most sane people disagree with me.
