John C. Reilly really liked this book and wanted to make a movie, and maybe that's as close as we come to art for art sake anymore: already successful guy likes the thing that you like.
There's a formula for a 4-star Alexandra film, and its any film that includes some combination of three or more of the following.
-two-hander casts
-hitmen with revolvers
-2-hour+ runtimes
-No plot, just long talks
-John C. Reilly
-jazz-ish soundtrack
-faceless God-coated capitalists
-dream sequences
-The Bible
-suspenders
-people who suck
-homoeroticism
-narrators
-horse death (i'm allergic)
-the futility of language (tm)
-guys who are losers
-one last job (tm)
-community theatre
This (lucky for John C. Reilly) is a list of things that happen in The Sisters Brothers
