The final countdown is upon us, as the C-Stumpers finally reveal their absolute favorite films of the decade.
Listen here.
Sorry about the delays, everyone. Matt has been swamped with job-hunting, film development, and setting up his NEW WEBSITE!, but as someone who reads perverted web-comics, he knows how frustrating it is to get lapses in publishing. We shall hope to deal with matters of more vital interest to the country next time.

i'm excited to listen to the last installment but right off the bat i gotta complain about no country for old men. yeah it was pretty good, but not that great for the coen's. they've done the same movie way better in the past. but as far as the oughts go, i'd put a serious man way above no country.
ReplyDeletei can't wait to listen and overload my netflix queue!
I don't agree that the Coens (or anyone else) have ever made the same movie at any level of quality. I can see narrative similarities with Raising Arizona or Fargo and stylistic similarities with Blood Simple (all masterpieces by their own right), but few (if any) have so seamlessly integrated such a suspenseful thriller with such an honest and melancholy reflection of the aftermath.
ReplyDeleteAs for A Serious Man, I still haven't entirely reconciled my feelings about that film, but a comparison of the two films may prove a fascinating subject for a blog entry.
I generally download at least 25 copies of every episode.
