Wrapping up the Coens and Coming Attractions
Our Month of Coens was, I think, a modest success. Thanks to all of the contributors who took the time and effort to turn in such well written articles and features on the brothers auteur. Your participation is what made it such darn fun. You can find a handy-dandy list of all the articles and reviews below in case you may have missed anything.
In lieu of planning another themed month here at MZ (which is coming as soon as we recover from this one), we have a number of new columns and features in the pipeline, so keep your eyes peeled (what does that mean, excatly? Has anyone ever stopped to think what a horrible prospect it would be to actually peel one’s eyes?).
MZ is in its infancy, and we are (hopefully) ever evolving into a better, more streamlined destination for all things film.
Hit the jump for the list of articles and reviews.

Hmmm…suggestion noted, and will be placed on the table for discussion, Sean, although I wouldn’t get my hopes up. Luke and Phillip are notoriously harsh on the comic book genre.

All the more reason to feature them!

I’m okay with it, as long as we devote an entire week or two to the work of Adam West.

Best. Idea. Ever.

Hahahahaha… Adam West. I second that Phillip.

I too was honored to be a part of this Coen tribute - as much as I feel my Music Musings may have overstayed their welcome. I will leave you with this from the The Film Snob’s Dictionary by David Kamp and Lawrence Levi in a chapter noting the difference between MOVIES & FILMS:
“The Coen brothers are MOVIE buffs who make FILMS”
’nuff said,
Daniel Cook Johnson
