    The Coen brothers, stuck while writing Miller's Crossing, attended a screening of Baby Boom. When they emerged from the movie theater, they had the inspiration for Barton Fink. Yes, the enigma of Joel and Ethan's creative minds, but also another cinematic treat we can add to Diane Keaton's legacy.

    The Coens had writer's block while writing Miller's Crossing. Their solution? To take a 3 week break and write Barton Fink, a film about a writer with writer's block. They then put in two references to it: the name of Tom's residence & the newspaper article about a hotel fire.

    During the hotly-anticipated Season Two premiere of Twin Peaks (a 2-hour episode directed by David Lynch), one of the commercial breaks was taken up by this trailer for the Coen Brothers' 3rd feature film, Miller's Crossing. This trailer is so good. I used to watch it over and over.

    I watched Miller's Crossing last night after, gosh, a few decades. Back then it left me cold, in part bc I had the context wrong—I was expecting mob movie and got a gangster picture, so to speak. To be honest I still find it strangely inert. Byrne's unchanging affect doesn't give me an "in" for him.

    I think the weirdest part of spending so much time with the Coens this year was learning how many of our listeners think Miller's Crossing—the Coens' greatest film, and probably the best screenplay of the 1990s—is one of their worst movies lol.

    If ‘Fargo’ is the Coen Brothers movie which best exemplifies the comical folly of human greed and ‘Miller's Crossing’ is their great ode to having a code, ‘A Serious Man’ splits the difference between modern illusions of agency and the non-negotiable edicts of the Old Testament. Their scariest film.

    The pre-credits opening of the Coens' MILLER'S CROSSING, adapted from a scene in the 1942 film THE GLASS KEY, might be my all-time favorite movie scene, period. Dazzlingly witty, with so much information communicated per second that it practically demands rewinding & rewatching.

    Miller's Crossing is my favorite movie, and I've always hated that the leaves didn't move in this scene and I assumed it was an amateurish oversight or a result of low budget -- I guess, because the Coens are famously bad at making movies? 🤷‍♂️

    So I watched Miller's Crossing the other night and was so confused bc the story did not give me a Southern vibe, yet the locations looked like nowhere in the North. Turns out they filmed it in NOLA. Certainly a $$ choice but it explains so much re the fairy tale/out of time/place vibe of the film

    It stands out in the context of that opening conversation because "Miller's Crossing" is about navigating these sorts of boundaries, allegiances and identities. The film has a preoccupation with hats - suggesting halos, civility, but also a sort of masking and disguise.

    Keeping with the motif of characters navigating worlds, slipping between established boundaries and identities, Bernie is having an affair with Mink, who is sleeping with the Dane. (I'm always struck by the casual queerness of "Miller's Crossing" as a 1990 period gangster film.)
