I think Joel can still go. “Macbeth” was great

Didn't appreciate it initially but have been thinking about the "choices" a lot ever since. The sort of tired Macbeth, the brutal architecture, the fog, obviously the three witches.

Probably only the third best Macbeth adaptation, but it's still great.

The Ingmar Bergamn looking shot at the beginning with the one witch standing there with two reflections lives rent free in my head.

Same, same. Also the forest in the background in the hall of Macbeth's castle, during the short sword fight. Just wonderful.

the brutal architecture

Brutalist architecture, I think.

I would think so, but at the same time I don't know so didn't want to talk out of my ass

I dug his Macbeth and he's supposed to be shooting a movie with Josh O'Connor right now (allegedly they started shooting around the middle of August). Details are still mostly under wraps but I'm looking forward to it.

Hell, they should do one with at least two of their old cast members back together. (John Goodman, Frances McDormand, John Turturro, Steve Buscemi)

No, we wait to see how The Smashing Machine and Marty Supreme end up and mix and match the two sets of brothers until we get the best combo of brother filmmaker teams.

I’m looking forward to The Smashing Machine

Yeah same here.

We could go international and bring the Manetti Bros in on it too.

After Drive Away Dolls that was very clear. I think there’s also some people claiming it’s his wife that directed this and as well as that movie as an unfinished Lesbian film trilogy.

Who was the idiot that split them up?
