[QUOTE="James from London, post: 152287, member: 22"] [I][U]The Ballad of Buster Scruggs (2018)[/U][/I] [IMG]https://www.nextbestpicture.com/uploads/7/1/0/2/71028997/netflix3_2.jpg[/IMG] An anthology movie made up of a handful of short stories, all set in the Wild West. If there's a common theme, it's the expendability of human life. It's a Coen brothers film so there's lots of dry humour juxtaposed with lots of extreme violence, with one really tender story right in the middle. And it looks beautiful. As is often the case with anthology films, some parts work better than others, but ultimately it's very satisfying watch. Interesting. Those do seem to be the two prevailing opinions about that film. That looks great! I saw the stage version of this last week starring Ronnie Mitchell off of [I]EastEnders[/I]. She's perfect casting, really excellent. It looks really good on stage as well, but ultimately that can't disguise the thinness of the overall story. Maybe it just works best as a book. Ha, I just saw this! I worked with Steve Guttenberg a few months ago on an episode of a CBBC series -- very random! He was very nice, in a "professionally very nice" sort of way. [/QUOTE]
