Ok, it’s not really to the death. And truth be told, it’s not even a duel. It is, however, an exhibit showcasing artwork inspired by the two filmmakers.

Really it’s hard to go wrong when you throw Jeff Bridges into a Coen Bros movie, you can pretty much expect a classic (even the trailer had us excited). While filming the movie, Bridges carried […]
