I mean no disrespect but I find it interesting you like these movies.
Of all the movies I've seen, none ticked me off worse than the two you just mentioned! Totally pointless, plotless, incoherent messes that had WAY too much hype about them in the media. I walked out of the theater after an hour on Fiction, but wasted the entire 3 hours of Old men waiting for something to happen to tie it all together..............but it never happened. Not to mention the fact that the movie was unbelievable from the very first scene. If the goofy-haired killer was such a professional hitman that eluded capture so well, how in the *ell did that Gomer Pyle county sheriff catch him in the first place? Normally I like Tommy Lee Jones but he wasn't even in this movie. Actually, he was in a movie that was running at the same time as NCFOM, but one that had nothing to do with the other. What a waste of talent. Come to think of it, all of the Cohen Bros movies are like that.......turning great actors into a waste of money.
Sorry.:(

I just saw this movie for the first time last night. I guess it came out in 2009? I had no interest in seeing it when it first came out because it just looked like a CGI computer game version of somebody's LSD trip. Turns out I was correct! Kinda fun to watch but WOW, that must have been some good "stuff"!
 
I'll throw these in too.

I liked some of the air combat movies that actually maintained some of the historical points. The Battle of Britain, Memphis Belle, The Tuskegee Airmen, and lately, Red Tails. Some of the westerns with Tom Selleck, and of course Quigley Down Under.

Denzel did a few good ones like this, he even did two train movies, recently! I thought train films were long gone but check out 'The Taking of Pelham 123' and 'Unstoppable.'

Pre- or post-comeback? :)

Seriously, in person she was as nice a girl as you'd ever want to meet back in the day but I haven't talked to her in a couple of decades, I guess. Wow, time really does fly faster and faster as we get old, doesn't it?
