    Got tired of feeling like doom was raining down on all my trans friends, so I started a tgirl movie night last month and I really can't recommend it enough. Get the dolls together and watch MILLER'S CROSSING.

    The Coen brothers, stuck while writing Miller's Crossing, attended a screening of Baby Boom. When they emerged from the movie theater, they had the inspiration for Barton Fink. Yes, the enigma of Joel and Ethan's creative minds, but also another cinematic treat we can add to Diane Keaton's legacy.

    The Coens had writer's block while writing Miller's Crossing. Their solution? To take a 3 week break and write Barton Fink, a film about a writer with writer's block. They then put in two references to it: the name of Tom's residence & the newspaper article about a hotel fire.

    During the hotly-anticipated Season Two premiere of Twin Peaks (a 2-hour episode directed by David Lynch), one of the commercial breaks was taken up by this trailer for the Coen Brothers' 3rd feature film, Miller's Crossing. This trailer is so good. I used to watch it over and over.

    I watched Miller's Crossing last night after, gosh, a few decades. Back then it left me cold, in part bc I had the context wrong—I was expecting mob movie and got a gangster picture, so to speak. To be honest I still find it strangely inert. Byrne's unchanging affect doesn't give me an "in" for him.

    I think the weirdest part of spending so much time with the Coens this year was learning how many of our listeners think Miller's Crossing—the Coens' greatest film, and probably the best screenplay of the 1990s—is one of their worst movies lol.

No matter how many times I see it, Miller's Crossing is an absolutely perfect film, not an ounce of fat on it. Great to hear Gabriel Byrne talk about his experiences.

    If ‘Fargo’ is the Coen Brothers movie which best exemplifies the comical folly of human greed and ‘Miller's Crossing’ is their great ode to having a code, ‘A Serious Man’ splits the difference between modern illusions of agency and the non-negotiable edicts of the Old Testament. Their scariest film.

    The pre-credits opening of the Coens' MILLER'S CROSSING, adapted from a scene in the 1942 film THE GLASS KEY, might be my all-time favorite movie scene, period. Dazzlingly witty, with so much information communicated per second that it practically demands rewinding & rewatching.

    Miller's Crossing is my favorite movie, and I've always hated that the leaves didn't move in this scene and I assumed it was an amateurish oversight or a result of low budget -- I guess, because the Coens are famously bad at making movies? 🤷‍♂️

    So I watched Miller's Crossing the other night and was so confused bc the story did not give me a Southern vibe, yet the locations looked like nowhere in the North. Turns out they filmed it in NOLA. Certainly a $$ choice but it explains so much re the fairy tale/out of time/place vibe of the film

    It stands out in the context of that opening conversation because "Miller's Crossing" is about navigating these sorts of boundaries, allegiances and identities. The film has a preoccupation with hats - suggesting halos, civility, but also a sort of masking and disguise.

  • Darren Mooney @darrenmooney.bsky.socialBluesky · Aug 17, 2025

    Keeping with the motif of characters navigating worlds, slipping between established boundaries and identities, Bernie is having an affair with Mink, who is sleeping with the Dane. (I'm always struck by the casual queerness of "Miller's Crossing" as a 1990 period gangster film.)

    A woman I went out with once in college called Miller's Crossing a "perfect" film, and I think that's accurate. Over the last few years, I've gradually come to realize that it's near the top of my personal list of Greatest Films Ever Made in the History of Cinema. Also, trans rights, obviously.

    Remembering Albert Finney, who died on today's date in 2019 at age 82. I knew him best from movies like Big Fish, Miller's Crossing, and Erin Brokovich -- but when I recently embarked on a Kitchen Sink film journey, I was delighted to discover him in Saturday Night and Sunday Morning. Great stuff.
