If you ever read interviews with the Coens, they consistently insist there's nothing going on in their movies, that there are no deeper meanings or hidden symbols -- they want to make films to entertain... The Hudsucker Proxy and Raising Arizona and -- dare I say it? -- Barton Fink ... and I wonder if it's a Trilogy at all, or rather an often-plucked chord I simply hadn't noticed as much before now.

Jeff and I just double-featured early Godard with his first feature ( Breathless ) and his third ( A Woman is a Woman ). Like it needs to be said again, I'm a huge, ridiculous fan of early Godard...Godard day! And tomorrow is Stay Home And Write Day, Spend No Money Day, and Catch Up On Sleep Day. I look forward to celebrating those days tomorrow. Think I'll start that last one right now.
