** Ethan Coen's [[SarcasmMode very serious]] review of Joel's ''The Tragedy of Macbeth'' is a masterpiece of a petty CausticCritic who becomes obsessed with a broken toy. Someone that was NOT Joel responded in the comments claiming it was by a bitter *adopted* twin that was the unfavorite of their mother.

Joel David Coen (born November 29, 1954) and Ethan Jesse Coen (born September 21, 1957), collectively known as the Coen Brothers, are filmmakers who have been marching to the beat of their own drum and thumbing their noses at traditional genre boundaries since 1984. Bouncing from FilmNoir to screwball comedy, from quirky indies to big-budget studio pieces, they function as a two-man writer-director-producer-editor SiblingTeam.
