In scene four the legless one quotes Percy Shelley

"I met a traveller from an antique land,
Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand, half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed; And on the pedestal, these words appear:

My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;
Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.”

I started this one night and must’ve fallen asleep watching it. Seemed really good in that Coen brothers way. Because of that, I need to watch it all the way through, think about it, then watch again.

I mean heck, the first time I watched The Big Lebowski, I didn’t even think it was funny.

Ditto.

I've watched it 2-3 times and it's as solid as anything they've done.
