In Reply to: Saw Intolerable Cruelty, it'll leave ya crowin for more Coen...nt.. posted by late on October 13, 2003 at 13:24:18:
to sit through it. Ok. It wasn't THAT bad. But it IS predicatable in the extreme. And Clooney just seems ill-fitted to the big screen: he's too slow to react, too mannered. On a tv, that's fine, the image is small. But when someone's fifty -feet tall, it becomes a caricature. He also generates zero magnetism with Catherine Z (according to my wife, as well).
The Coen-heads have been in a holding pattern lately; "Fargo," and "The Big Lebowski" (which I should have included in my cult list, BTW) set high standards which they've undershot since.
