Only took me six years to watch O Brother, Where Art Thou? (Metacritic score of 69), and four months of a stuck Netflix queue.
I enjoyed it. Almost makes me want to re-read The Odyssey, just to pick up the references. The connections are not hidden, but there were several moments when I’m sure there were pointers I missed.
On a web note… I mention this all too often: the official movie site is long gone. Why, for a movie made in 2000, would you let the website lapse, even if it lives only to sell the DVD?
I’m watching the Academy Awards presentation. Not sure if George Clooney was the best candidate for Supporting Actor, but quite a range all the same. I’ve missed (and plan on continuing to) his Spy Kids contributions, but several fun movies in the mix.
