Tony & Michelle dropped by today for a couple of hours... We ended up getting dinner at Red Robin and then we rented Intolerable Cruelty. I'm a huge Coen bros. fan (thanks to The Big Lebowski, the best movie EVER!) but IC had me worried. I had heard that the Coens weren’t the sole writers, and I felt that the previews showed it. But, we rented it, and watched it anyway… and? Blah. There was nothing WRONG with the movie (well, I guess except the plot twist that was SO predictable that it did ruin some scenes because I ‘knew’ what was going to happen). It just felt like a standard romantic comedy with a bit of a mean side (and if for some reason you’re looking to see a mean romantic comedy, you should see the far superior Down With Love instead).
it's b/c CZJ is hella-hott
"Down with Love" is a lot of fun, but if you want a really great "mean" romance you should see "He loves me...He loves me not". Not as much comedy, I suppose, but a good flick in that vein.
And I totally don't understand the whole CZJ thing. If nothing else, just the image of her going down on Michael Douglas' wrinkled seventy year old knob aught to be enough to put anyone off of her.
