  1. Wasn’t The Ladykillers the first Coens movie where they were both credited as directors? Rather than Joel as director and Ethan as a producer.

    It’s definitely stupid to specify just Joel when everyone knows them as a unit, but it’s technically correct, I guess.

  2. I don’t know but I’m holding onto my HD-DVD copy in the meantime like it’s the bible. Incidentally, perhaps it’s because I’ve watched the movie so many times so thing stood out more, but that HD master was one of the most improved I’ve seen to date – at least over the original dvd (I never bought the subsequent dvd’s).

    This may be the only film that I’d actually welcome one of those stupid bloated collector’s edition sets with a name like “The Nihilists Edition” or “The Carpet Pissers Edition” with dumb little trinkets thrown in.

    I couldn’t care less about a suitcase size box set for Casablanca or The Wizard of Oz, but I’d easily drop $75 on a Big Lebowski blu-ray that came in an oversized Ralph’s Coffee can and included “Malibu” post cards and shalk shakers shaped like severed toes…or something to that effect.

  3. The scene depicted above was all I needed to know I’d love the film. It tells you everything you need to know about The Dude. I mean, writing a check for less than a dollar…I laughed for days afterward.

  4. The Coens said in an interview recently (I forget where, of course) that they have always co-directed their movies but decided not to both take a credit line for it until rather recently. Joel as director and Ethan as producer are the credits on many of their films.

  5. Surprised Wells didn’t know this. The Ladykillers was indeed the first time they were both credited as director. Their first ten features credit Joel as director, Ethan as producer, and both as writer. They generally alternate who is credited first as screenwriter. The split was originally due to some DGA rules, which the Coens are now able to subvert since they are an “established duo.” When Fargo received all of its Academy Awards nominations, it was only Joel that was nominated for Best Director.

  6. Not to be a blowhard of historical accuracy to one of the greatest comedies ever made, and one of the greatest moments from it, but Desert Shield began in late Summer, 1990, not ’91.

  7. Two things:

    1 – if you watch the movie closely, the check is actually post-dated. When the landlord gets to the door, he says that it’s the 9th (or rather tomorrow is the 10th). And that’s at least a day or two after the supermarket part.

    2 – I had thought that they never cared about the co-credit (They were certainly an established duo prior to 2004), but that ‘The Ladykillers’ was the first movie where Ethan as producer had to share a credit, so out of fairness they started taking full credit in all the categories, and had motivation to push the DGA to let them.

  8. Though the usual line is that they are like a two-headed person, their original credits and backgrounds always suggested to me that Joel is the more visual of the two (he is the one who went to film school), and Ethan is the more verbal (he is the one who has published written works on his own). But it seems like a pretty blurry distinction, if there even is one.

  9. It is a appreciable that you are too good to manage your blog because actual meaning of blog dies if irrelevant comments remain for long time.For good post knowledge based comments should be written so that people can learn from this blog.
