Llewyn: Where were we? 

Jean: You were calling me a careerist. 

And I was calling you a loser. 

Llewyn: Right. Well. ... In my experience,

I told you guys yesterday that I was thinking about giving the Coens' Inside Llewyn Davis a second chance, and a second chance I did. Give it that is. I re-watched the film last night and I am a big person and I can admit when I have been wrong, and it turns out that I have been wrong about Inside Llewyn Davis. It played much better on take number two then it did the first time around -- funny where it had just seemed dickish before; mournful where it had just seemed wearied and dank. It isn't my new favorite Coens film or anything, but I can dig it.
