Will the Coen Bros. ever make another movie that doesn't suck?

Why haven't I liked one film they've made since the mid-90's? Because I'm just a moron? It's weird that I almost always agree with the prevailing critics' sentiments on films. When movies average great reviews, I almost always end up liking them. So why have I disliked every Coen Bros. movie since about Fargo? I actually love The Hudsucker Proxy the most. I was a very big fan. Now they continue to disappoint me over and over. I guess with an IQ of 135, I'm not brilliant enough to appreciate their last several movies. I'm also Jewish. What difference does that make, you ask? Coen. Bros. movies were once easy to relate to. I don't know if it had to do with our similar upbringings or not, but what the hell has happened to them? When a 40-something Jewish film buff can't get into movie after movie of theirs, can't they figure out they've gotten off track? Trying to decide which I hated more, this one or No Country for Old Men.

I guess 135 just isn´t your lucky number. I have 143 and I loved it...and so did a lot of others both brighter than me and those with lover IQ...And maybe IQ just has nothing to do with it because, as you know, IQ is only a measure of certain aspects of intelligense and certainsly not the emotionall artistic creative one.

Propably good taste in movies is really all that matters and you seem to have lost yours around the mid-90´s.

Yep. They will. Just not this one.

Dude, maybe the Coen brothers are not for you then. Maybe you are more into straight fun like Mad TV. Coen movies are for special people.
