The new Coen brothers film, coming out this September.<\/p>\n

After seeing the release of the poster and the trailer (domestic and international, two totally different trailers) I can now say I am officially excited. The poster calls up all of Saul Bass’ iconic images, completely eye-catching. <\/p>\n

My first impression of Brad Pitt, from in first Thelma and Louise<\/i>, and then True Romance<\/i> is the one that has really stuck: good-looking, yes, but doesn’t take himself all that seriously. It’s very endearing (when he’s allowed to do it). Pitt is just getting more interesting as he gets older. The parts he’s getting are more interesting, too. I love<\/i> it when he is allowed to be goofy. His cameo as the pot-smoking loser roommate in True Romance<\/i> is comedy gold as far as I’m concerned (“And get some …. cleaning products … ” “Dont’ condissnd meeee …..”) In the trailer for Burn After Reading<\/i>, Brad Pitt gets punched in the face by John Malkovich and I’ve seen it 4 times now and it makes me laugh every time. And look at this still from the film:<\/p>\n

I have no idea what’s going on there, but it’s hilarious.<\/p>\n
