an in-depth study, or something

i am somewhat notorious for being interested in things but never pursuing them in depth. (ie, this blog) i actually read recently that this is a somewhat normal character trait of the scorpio, so i will blame it on the stars. last weekend, while at the theater watching crazy heart, i began to reminisce about jeff bridges and the big lebowski. i decided that watching all the coen brothers' films could do me good.

until now, my movie viewing habits have been based mostly on happenstance - whatever the people around me wanted to see. so, here we go: an in-depth study, or something. i have previously viewed (like those cheap movies you can get at blockbuster that may or may not be scratched) the titles that are in bold.

i'll let you know how this goes.

1984 Blood Simple
1987 Raising Arizona
1990 Miller's Crossing
1991 Barton Fink
1994 The Hudsucker Proxy
1996 Fargo
1998 The Big Lebowski
2000 O Brother, Where Art Thou?
2001 The Man Who Wasn't There
2003 Intolerable Cruelty
2004 The Ladykillers
2007 No Country for Old Men
