Barton Fink picnic scene

[mgatos]

I'm building a levee gulp by gulp, brick by brick

[FungusMossGnosis]

"The truth, ma'honey, is a tart that does not bear scrutiny..." - write that as my epitaph, please.

[basehead617]

one of the most brilliant scenes in film history

[treehousewizkid]

I'll just walk on down to the Pacific... and there I'll... improvise.

[DormanCrimeSyndicate]

3:40 "That son of a bitch! Don't get me wrong, he's a fine writer." haha

[YoknapatawphaKid]

John Mahoney is brilliant!

[tmwctweather]

God, I always laugh so hard when she says "I feel so sorry for him." By the way, does anyone know what "the tale of Solomon's Mammy is?

[bryan10983]

Solomon's Mammy was Bathsheba, whose lover, uh, What's-His-Name had her husband David killed. I always thought that Bill was drunkenly referring to the love triangle he saw developing between him, his honey and Barton.

[ASSMAN279]

ahahahaha, THAT SON OF BITCH THAT, SON OF BITCH.

[Theoppositesex]

I love how he just breaks into song for no reason!!!!!!!!!!! SO funny!

[YahtzeeNazi]

This movie made me start actually reading Faulkner.

[bluetoiletduck]

"so now im supposed to roll over like an ol bitch dog gettin my belly scratched?"

LMFAO

[YahtzeeNazi]

I wonder if William Faulkner ever actually smacked his mistress while taking a leak. Wouldn't surprise me.

BREACH MY LEVY AT YOUR PERIL

[YahtzeeNazi]

I'll just walk on down to the Pacific, and from there I'll...improvise...

[AgentOrange04]

[billyysands]

DONT LOOK AT MY PRICK WHILE I'M PISSING BITCH, hes a real pig

[KajiCarson]

Great scene with some fine acting. XD

[Donalorudhain]

Great clip. Anyone know what the song is? His performance and rendition of the song are classic.

[joejoeirish]

"old black joe"

[Arckitekt]

Balls in a fruit pickers pail...lol

[aardvaarkisgood]

STILL the Coen Brother's greatest achievement. One of the all time great movies, even better than Citizen Kane to my mind.

Won shedloads of prizes and hugely admired all over the world except in it's country of origin. Strange that!

What do others think is the reason for this?

[johnbourbon]

oh i think it's pretty widely admired here in the states.

[acefilms28]

actually i think miller's crossing is their bet followed by the big lebowski and others

[acefilms28]

but still probably their second best awesome movie

[sidv192]

Excellent clip. About time there was a movie with a story worth telling, done old school.
