I meant to post this the other day but the below news was way more exciting. Anyhow, Empire magazine polled it’s readership during November and December of last year as to which were the 201 (it was issue 201 of the magazine) Greatest Movies Of All Time. Well I’m sure it’ll come as no surprise that the Coen brothers had a couple of entries there. Coming in at number 120 was Fargo and at the dizzying, nosebleed-inducing height of number 25 was, of course, The Big Lebowksi. The top five reads thus; #5- The Godfather, #4- Star Wars, #3- The Fellowship Of The Ring, #2- The Empire Strikes Back and #1- The Shawshank Redemption. Oh, and the original The Ladykillers came in at #183 which is nice.

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.
