No love for Jesus Quintana? “Let me tell you something, pendejo. You pull any of your crazy shit with us, you flash a piece out on the lanes, I’ll take it away from you, stick it up your ass and pull the fucking trigger 'til it goes ‘click’.” ---

My favorite Coen brothers movie (by which I mean most hilariously-fucking-soul-crushing-depressing) is _A Serious Man_. So I guess I’d vote for Larry Gopnik if I were an IMDB member. But Sy Ableman is probably a better choice. That character–and that movie overall–should get more love. But no one’s playing the blame game here, Larry.
