      1. The bar is so low now… disappointment after disappointment with the high points effectively being a reboot of A New Hope and a flick that sets up the original trilogy.

        2. If learning gets in the way of some cold hard cash I think they’ll just continue to roll the way they have been.

  2. The Ballad of Buster Scruggs really disappointed me. I had hoped for something good from the Coen brothers, but I thought the first anthology chapter showed humorous promise that the rest of the movie betrayed. I thought it buckled under its silence and seriousness and didn’t really have anything to say at all. I thought it was pretentious nonsense, but I’m definitely in the minority. I respect Eric’s opinion.

    1. Geoff, after discussing with Harrison, I’ve decided to wait for Netflix to see it. I really have a struggle with biopics. Unless its an historical figure that was dead long before I was born, I really have a hard time getting past the actors!
