So Coen brothers movies are like buses. You wait for ages and then, bam, three come at once!

Hot on the heels of the news regarding Burn After Reading comes news of the Coen’s 14th movie- A Serious Man. Nothing is know about it as yet other than it is “a dark comedy in the vein of Fargo” which cannot be a bad thing.

Thanks once again to Empire for the news and, I agree, The Ladykillers and Intolerable Cruely ARE underrated!

Coen conspirator, Carter Burwell, is feeling generous. Nip on over to his site and you can download, for free, MP3s of his fine scores for many a movie. Of particular interest to us Coen obsessives are previously unreleased cuts from The Ladykillers and Intolerable Cruelty. For those who don’t have the CDs there are also many tracks from Barton Fink, Fargo and The Big Lebwoski. Also, there are one or two clips from Theater of the New Ear, but you can download the entire Coen brother’s part, Sawbones, right here at You Know, For Kids! Thanks to Stephen for pointing this recent site update out.

I was just checking to see if biglebowskidvd.com was active yet and it still is not, but further exploration has throw up the release of a R1 Coen Brother’s Collection boxset, due out on 18th October. It has VERY similar artwork to the R2 release but completely different movies!!! In it will be the new special edition Big Lebowski, Blood Simple Director’s Cut, Intolerable Crualty and The Man Who Wasn’t There. A strange mix to be sure. RRP is set ar $39.98.ar $39.98.

I’m a bit late on this one but I only found out today (thanks Joseph), but the Coen brothers made an appearance at the Soho Apple Store in New York on Tuesday 10th May (yeah, I know) to discuss their usage of Apple’s Final Cut Pro to edit both Intolerable Cruelty and The Ladykillers. You can also read a great article about the Coen brother’s use of said software HERE and see a (dodgy) photo from the event HERE. Thanks to Joseph Kinney for the heads-up.
