To the Coens. When they're on - BIG LEBOWSKI, BROTHER, WHERE ART THOU? - they're as brilliant as anyone working in film comedy today. and when they're off -- Intolerable Cruelty, The Ladykillers, Crimewave -- we are reminded of how great Sturges and Hawks are. I'm glad you mentioned THE LADYKILLERS because it brings up the distinction between comedy and humor, and why I don't like the Coen brothers: they hate everybody. Humor has some sympathy to it. Contrast the Ealing version with the Coen Brothers. EVERYONE is contemptible in the Coen Brothers movie, and the most loving shot is of whoever it is plunging over the bridge to land in the garbage scow. Bob
