...asked me what Ty Cobb's batting average was. I said, ".421," with a lot of conviction. Weinstein said it was .367.

...created. From the lover-killers in the Coens' first feature, Blood Simple, to the babynappers in Raising Arizona and a raft of Minnesotans in Fargo, all manner of desperately striving oafs populate the Coen gallery of film art. The brothers have been very smart about their characters' being very stupid...
