Laserdicks Reviews, Episode 11: Barton Fink

You asked for it--you got it! A film with Steve Buscemi in it! Wait, you weren't asking for that? Ah, no matter...he's not in it very much.

We discuss an early Coen brothers (Raising Arizona, Fargo, etc.) film and have some laughs along the way. Did I mention that this movie also has Jon Polito in it? (Heh, now you're asking, "Who's Jon Polito?")

No one likes you losers, and no one wants to hear what you have to say about film.

[arcbarron]

What's that?  You have how many subscribers? What? NONE!? Yeah.

I think this is an important lesson for us all. I mean... Clearly, your opinion doesn't matter.

[thejobloshow]

People only watch this video because they're looking for Barton Fink clips.

[arcbarron]

Another important lesson for us all:

Someone with "jo blo" in their name making a statement concerning the opinions of the general populace is a great example of irony.

i.e. He assumes everyone watches the video for clips from a movie because that's why he does. Unfortunately, his "opinion" comes out as more of a "statement of one's ignorance."

That's is to say, the REAL reason people watch this video is BY ACCIDENT.

Wait, as in Mr. Ritchie?

This is Charlie.

[arcbarron]

As in Dr. Ritchie of the ATU English department, yes.

[theskullelectric]

That's awesome. I love Dr. Ritchie. He gave me Schizopolis and The Kingdom (tv series) for two of my essays.

[tootcb]

He's someone we know in the REAL WORLD.

[theskullelectric]

"Oh you betcha, yeah." Good. I like that.

I haven't seen the movie in a while, but don't really remember liking it either. I did like Goodman being Satan, though.

Who are you, again?
