I recommend watching this while stoned. It's one of those movies that are shit sober, but good stoned. Brad Pitt's character is hilarious.
this movie is hllarious lol fucking brad pitt and frances mcdormand are insanely stupid but so damn funny top 5 or 6 cohen brothers movie for me http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7JlG7q-ld8M "you fuuuck" lol
The movie isn't shit sober. The Coen Brothers are pretty much masters of the dark comedy at this point. Fargo, Intolerable Cruelty, Raising Arizona, The Big Lebowski, etc... These are all films that fall into a similar category.
For some reason I found this movie to be profoundly depressing. I was in a funk for about a week after I watched it.
I have to disagree with your "shit sober" assessment. I think it's one of the Coen Brothers' best, certainly one of their most underrated.
The Big Lebowski is my favorite Coen brother film; but Burn After Reading is second favorite. BAR is underrated and hilarious. I love when George Clooney shoots Brad Pitt & he thinks he killed a spook haha.
^right? Lol I was like nooo brad! Why'd your character have to be such an idiot in a group even bigger idiots? (Debatable)
i just watched this movie again LOL the end is so fucking great https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SlA9hmrC8DU
