Is there anyone who has the courage to say this movie is stupid and sucks? I've tried watching TBL several times, and have seen many clips of it. I think this is the kind of movie that a big aggressive crowd acclaims greatness too that is not really that great ... kind of like Trump supporters.
I had the courage to say that until I actually watched it. I thought the trailer and commercials looked extremely stupid and lame, it looked like idiotic slapstick. I totally skipped it in theaters. Then it very quickly went to cable and I happened across a couple scenes here and there. "This doesn't seem anywhere near as stupid as the trailer made it look." Then I watched the whole thing and saw that it was one of the Coens' best. When someone doesn't like it, it means they are stupid and suck.
You had the intelligence to try it out for yourself and find an opinion.
Then you just turned into a snide insulting asshole, which is what you were before you made your comment, only you felt you had to advertise it I guess.
Yeah I guess. Now if you will excuse me, I have to go log on to message boards for movies that I don't like and announce that I think they are stupid and suck. That seems like a good use of my time.
If you spend your time going to find movies that get insulted, and then watching them so you can insult the person who just didn't like it ... if that is how you spend your time ... your time is worthless, so yeah, whatever.
Well, this movie is kinda stupid.
I am pretty sure it's intentionally stupid, it's not striving for anything too deep.
That's why it's actually deep. And I like it.
Makes sense?
I don't think it takes much courage to simply say that this film doesn't appeal to you. It doesn't appeal to me either, I just watched it for a second time on a flight recently. I didn't like it the first time and my opinion didn't change the second time.
That's the thing with comedies in particular -- they either connect with you or they don't.
I did enjoy the cast, which made it bearable even for a film I didn't care for.
And I say that as a big fan of other Cohen brothers films.

Same here. I actually liked most of the cast members. But this type of humor just doesn't connect with me. Like when John Goodman's character smashed up the Corvette with a crowbar. Some people think that scene is hilarious, but I didn't see any humor in it.
