Ooo. Sleek 60s style, intrigue in foreign lands, maybe some illicit romance? I’m in.

Ooo, juicy! And with Oscar Isaac! Yum.

Hilarious in the Coens’ weird, askew way, but also absolutely crushing. This movie breaks my heart in a hundred different ways.

Shhh! don’t tell anywhere where you heard all this…
The Coen Brothers have a new film! Directed and written by them! Always a cause for celebration…

Once upon a time, a film this epic, this relevant, this emotional would have been celebrated as a great entertainment and important storytelling with something vital to say about the world today.
How can it be that my geeky little heart has been ripped from my chest and my geeky little soul crushed underfoot like so much spilled popcorn on the floor of the multiplex? That wasn’t supposed to happen. Russell Crowe and Ridley Scott’s *Robin Hood* was supposed to be *awesome.*
