    I reviewed HAIL, CAESAR!, an underappreciated gem in the Coens' filmography. A film about the place of the cinema and Hollywood in the debased, ridiculous American pantheon. www.patreon.com/posts/144188...

    Lots of people mentioning other Coen Brothers movies, and I love them all (haven’t seen Hail Caesar or Buster Scruggs), but the one I’ll go to the mat for maybe the hardest is Inside Llewyn Davis. An astonishing movie IMO.

    After my second watching, I am becoming more and more convinced that Hail, Caesar! (2016) is the movie equivalent of The Miseducation of Lauren Hill in that, much like that album, it’s something you can put on at any time during a gathering of almost any crowd of people and it will work. 📽️

    I used WholesaleTheft AI and spent $20,000 in tokens to make a full length feature film of “Merrily We Dance”, starring Hobie Doyle and directed by Laurence Laurentz, the fake film inside “Hail, Caesar!” (2016). Hollywood is cooked.

    There are shades of this in the movie that are played as obvious satire, ala "Hail Caesar," but that obviously went way over younger me's head.

    BTW, the "rumor" of him being a nazi spy, later inspiring the Communist spy in the movie Hail Caesar? Just a Hollywood urban legend courtesy of a 1980 Charles Higham book, Errol Flynn: The Untold Story. He had no direct proof and instead compiled together what he thought proved that he was.

    Now rewatching the last theatrical movie of the Coen brothers, Hail, Caesar! (2016). A wonderful love letter to classic Hollywood. Filled with a tremendous cast that are all on top of their game, especially, Brolin, who is perfect here. What an amazing run of movies by the boys. 4.5/5

    The Coen brothers movie "Hail, Caesar" features both the Highlander and the Highlander's main villain in small roles. This is just one example of the kind of thing I might pause to point out were you to watch a movie with me.

    Upon my recent rewatch, HAIL, CAESAR! went from “underrated” to “maybe one of the 10 best movies of the century so far?” Just pure joy in film form, it should’ve been nominated for every Oscar and won many.

    Tarantino can't do a musical; the Coens have done one outright (O BROTHER WHERE ART THOU), one short one as the opening of BALLAD OF BUSTER SCRUGGS, and one movie-within-a-movie segment as part of HAIL CAESAR! that's so good as a single scene that I want it to be a whole movie.

    It's Movie Monday on the blog. There are many people - some of them claiming to be Coen brothers fans - who dislike 2016's HAIL, CAESAR!, to date the last big-screen feature they've made as a duo. I am not one of those people.

    Wow Hail, Caesar! was outstanding. Perhaps the only worthy movie that is a love letter to movies. Whereas most such odes to movies are treacly and superficial, this sees all the flaws with clear eyes and loves the movies anyways. And that’s not the only layer on which it tells a story, either!

    I think that works! I mean to exclude things like 8 1/2, or Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, or Hail Caesar! where the plot is pretty much about the mechanics of movie production or is otherwise set in Hollywood and the characters are directors/actors/producers etc

    Drive-Away Dolls is a madcap lesbian road comedy loaded with the quirked-up Coen dialogue I've desperately missed since Hail, Caesar and a Texas-fried Margaret Qualley star turn. Also, the horniest Coen-adjacent film by a wide margin.
