Why all the Burn After Reading hate? It's perfectly a good film. Far better than Barton Fink, for example. I think people who are dissing it are the kind who Friends writers aim at - a joke every 30 seconds or you'll lose the audience.

Hardly. I loved No Country For Old Men. But I do like Friends. Still no need to be insulting.
At the same time the film just really didn't do it for me. I'm sure it's a fine movie. But as a follow up to No Country, I have to say no thank you. It seemed over done and just never really got going. I still have it on my hard drive and will probably give it another shot.
Yeah, I've seen that sentiment a bunch of times. I don't get it. It's like comparing Indiana Jones 4 with Munich (Spielberg's previous film). They're nothing alike. Why compare at all?
As for the slow to get going comment, it's the kind of thing that elicited the Friends gag every 30 seconds from me. So what if it's slow to start? So's Once Upon a Time in the West (staggeringly so - and still a great film).

I didn't really think it was slow. The Good Shepherd is slow. I understand the irony behind the whole it's a spy thriller that really isn't thing smattered with sub plots in order to provide depth for some of the more important characters. That doesn't mean I enjoyed it.
It was as if the Cohen Brothers were like "Hmm, just won an Oscar. Let's see how many people we can trick into paying $10 dollars to see a subpar film... MUHAAAHAHAHAA!"
