...were all coming into a theoretical concept," says Ryan Kavanaugh, whose Relativity Media has invested in films with budgets totaling more than $8 billion, in partnerships with Sony, Universal, Warner Bros. and others. "Let's plug this into a model and let's do it. There were a dozen deals, some that worked, some that didn...
...story sounds familiar, even cheesy, well, it should: her narrative is so familiar that even the least jaded among us are wont to feel a bit of schadenfreude when they pass the Lilys of their towns sporting side-swept bangs and Dashboard Confessional hoodies.

So it's entirely possible that Burn After Reading is some multifilm concept comedy--that No Country for Old Men was a feature-length diversionary tactic from the Coens' strategy of trying the patience of their most dedicated admirers. They started with that aimless farce The Ladykillers and bring the geste to fruition with their latest enervating caper. If this is so, they've managed a pretty complex joke, and it's on you. Too bad it isn't funny...
