[AmorRoark]

The cast looks amazing:

George Clooney - Harry Pfarrer
Frances McDormand - Linda Litzke
Brad Pitt - Chad Feldheimer
John Malkovich - Osbourne Cox
Tilda Swinton - Katie Cox
Richard Jenkins - Ted Treffon

So so excited to see Frances McDormand in another Coen film.

sooooo excited for this, looks AWESOME.

 

[L2R]

oh yeah
i'm there

although the slapstick looks hammed up a bit much

 

[AmorRoark]

Aww I love their slapsptick. It's so cartoony. Raising Arizona couldn't have been more hammed up.

I liked the preview. Thanks for posting the link. I love the Coen brothers normally, and this looks like a great movie, but I have problems with Brad Pitt. I can't watch him. I guess it's just too much for me. Every time I go into the grocery store or quick mart, I see his face on the cover of magazines with his wife and I'm tired of him. Too much Brad Pitt in the world for my tastes.

Looks good. :D

lol agreed but he looks pretty good in this and the film just looks great in general. we will have to endure him!

although pitt began as a pretty boy, he has been in a LOT of good stuff. i seem to have heaps of his films on dvd.

as an actor, he has a pretty good range.

I don't want to say much else and risk getting spanked for getting off topic. I used to like Brad Pitt. I just got tired of him. The movie looks great though. I wish they had used someone besides him.

I'd see it just because I love Frances McDormand.

I'd see it just because I love the Coens.

 

[ugly]

yes, I love both...I am going to have to see it.

+1

I think he's a pretty decent actor.

Anyway, film looks good.

dude, BP is tight. not only does he have descent range as an actor, but he is also choosy about his projects (which i think is the main contributor to his success).

besides 'troy' (which still had its moments) and 'the mexican', i can't think of bad Brad Pitt movie.

 

[L2R]

^i'd love for the rumours to pan out with pitt in a role in quentin tarantino's upcoming WW2 flick "inglorious bastards".

back to topic, i'm excited by this entire cast.

^^
I don't know. I can't picture Pitt reciting Tarantino's dialogue. He pulled off the stoner roomie in True Romance, but it was such a bit part that it didn't really matter. All in all, his acting style is far more natural and unforced than Tarantino's typical writing usually allows.

Gah I have such a hard on for Tilda Swinton, I can't wait! I think I am changing my tune about Pitt as well, he looks like he is going to be really funny in this.
