On a slightly lighter literary note follow the links in the entry by [personal profile] cofax7 to see a would-be writer take his potential career out in back of the barn, bludgeon it to death and then light it on fire.

The Coen's remake isn't as bad as I'd heard. Tom Hanks is entrancing if over the top. And Marlon Wayans is only mildly annoying, always an accomplishment for him. But the final act, as the gang of thieves attempts to do in Hank's elderly landlady is farcical in its stupidity. Also picking Bob Jones University as Mrs. Munson's favorite charity, given their stance up until 2000 on interracial dating, seems in poor taste...
