Count the F-Bombs in 'Burn After Reading'

DateThursday, January 1, 2009 at 10:44PM
I watched one of my favorite 2008 flicks again over the holidays, the Coen Brothers' Burn After Reading. Joel and Ethan Coen are so well-regarded for their writing that we might not realize just how ideally suited they are to make a movie with Samuel L. Jackson.

Check out just how loaded Burn After Reading is with f-bombs from Malkovich, Clooney, Pitt et al. But these aren't just any f-bombs; two-time Oscar-winning screenwriters painstakingly and purposefully placed them in those sentences.

Burn After Reading is out on DVD now, and I sense a drinking game coming on.
