In a Dec 10, 2008 interview, Werner Herzog talked about his latest films Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans, and said
“it’s a film I hope will come as a surprise. I’m doing things I haven’t done before…. I did change the screenplay a lot, I invented new scenes, dialogues.”(1)
So, beyond our opinion for the idea of this proyect, ¿what can we really expect about the film?
i can`t imagine anything, so this is a perfect escuse for a forum
I love Robocop i think it is a masterpiece, i may not take the movie so seriosly now, but that dosen`t make it a bad movie, it`s like saying Dawn of the Dead zombies look cheap, ¿who cares? the movie works on itself
i think Gaear Grimsrud, the character played by Peter Stormare on Fargo is one of the scariest on film, it represent a souless villian that dosent have any kind of motivation, he is like an animal, full of nothingness, instinct is what drives him, and that makes him even scarier.
Steve Buscemi character Carl Showalter is a great villian too, he is weak, idiot and funny looking, but that dosen`t mean he is not a dangerous person, in fact he is the mastermind of the operation!
I would´t like to be in a situation stuck up with does two.
This kind of counterpoints make this characters very different from the stereotypical villian, and that´s why they are so marvelous.
i love both movies, but i have always leaned a bit to No Country….
I think the Coens have reached a level of perfection in the way of making movies, and No Country it´s an example of it,
Since Blood Simple they have proven to have a unique special language, that can be spoken in any type of movie genre they make.
To make an adaptation of a novel and still maintain the symbols that defines them i think is worth to appreciate.
I dont see any “originality and bold step forward” in TWBB in comparison with NCFOM, The Coens have made of a thriller film a work of art! The perfect balance in film in the same tradition to Alfred Hitchcock.
TWBB is a great movies, and epic one, and i am sure it mas made very much with the word “perfection” in mind. But what stands out in visual styles, lacks in narrative punches, by the time the movie is beyond the middle, you could imagine it al goes in a downward spiral.
Very well crafted and overall the second best film in 2007.
Pulp Fiction – Tiempos Violentos (Violent times)
Bad Taste – Picadillo (Meat cut in pieces)
Evil Dead – El despertar del diablo (the awakening of the devil)
There will be blood – Petroleo Sangriento (Bloody Oil)
No country for old man – Sin lugar para los debiles (No place for the weak)
“How does it reflect American culture, societal norms and our value system?”
i dont like AB that much, i dont think it´s crap, but a bit prentecious for my taste and very much overacted, in general a good “black-comedy” that would make a good play, but i prefere Todd Solondz “petroleum-comedies” of american culture.

Great movies that you never want to see again over 3 years ago
i actually saw The Death of Mister Lazarescu twice, but the second time was even harder to watch.
So i bought the movie and i am going to wait years before i see it again
it´s almost like a hiperreal horror movie

“One thing I really loved about TWBB was the score by Radiohead’s Johnny Greenwood, but I also appreciated NCFOM’s lack of a score =P.”
