    such a classic scene! the energy in that moment is just on another level, and it never fails to make me laugh. Coen Bros really nailed it with this one!

  2. I really consider this one of the best montages in film history. It’s long but from the guys trying to name it, to the lack of interest at first, to the method of *how* it gets popular – it tells so much story very quickly and does it in an amusing way.

    Man, I’ve been meaning to screen this again. Shout out to r/CoenBrothers/

    The scene that always gets me is when Paul Newman’s trousers start to tear and he realizes he’s going to die from being cheap.

  5. Fantastic film. If I’m not mistaken I think Sam Raimi directed this particular sequence.

    I rewatched this recently and it struck me how much like a Wes Anderson movie it feels like. And I mean that as a compliment to both.
