  • Surly Joe song
    From the first chapter of "The Ballad of Buster Scruggs"
    Directed by Coen Brothers
    Lyrics:
    Surly Joe, the gambler
    He will gamble nevermore
    His days of stud and hold 'em
    They are done
    It was long about last April
    He stepped into this saloon
    But he never really took to anyone
    Surly Joe ♪
    Surly Joe ♪
    Surly Joe ♪
    Surly Joe ♪
    Oh, wherever he's damned
    And now, I don't know
    We don't know
    He was slick, but I was slicker
    He drew quick, but I was quicker
    And the table stopped his ticker
    Surly Joe
    Yee-haw!
    Surly Joe ♪
    Surly Joe ♪
    Surly Joe ♪
    Surly Joe ♪
    Won't be missed by anyone
    Will Surly Joe
    Surly Joe
    Humankind he frowned upon
    But not now, his face is gone
    Guess your frowning days are done
    Oh, Surly Joe
    Yee-haw!
    Surly Joe ♪
    Surly Joe ♪
    Surly Joe ♪
    Surly Joe ♪
    A cedilla on the C of Curly Joe
    Surly Joe!
    He was mean in days of yore
    Now they're mopping up the floor
    Oh, Surly Joe
    Yee-haw!
    Surly Joe ♪
    Surly Joe ♪
    Surly Joe ♪
    Surly Joe ♪
    Where the rest his face has got to
    We don't know
    We don't know
    He was never any fun
    Now his grumpy race has run
    Kisser blown to kingdom come
    Oh, Surly Joe...

    To be fair,
    If you walk in to a saloon, find your brother is shot dead, and everyone is cheerfully singing a song about his death mere moments after dying, you kind of have to kill the man that killed him. If not for his death but for making his death a musical. Still gotta hand it to Buster on this haha

    I thought the sheer ambiguity of this story was just amazing. The slightly sinister vibe you get from Buster the whole time despite him never doing anything explicitly dishonourable (on the face of it) is a huge testament both to Tim Blake Nelson's acting and the craftsmanship of the writing and production staff. The way it subtly deconstructs the archetype whilst simultaneously embracing it is just so damn entertaining.

      Yeah he wasn't really doing anything wrong. But you have to admit Buster himself had that sadistic streak about him, him singing a song about a man he just killed is like him dancing on his grave. Not to mention how he humiliated Surly Joe's brother during the duel, making him suffer. It's no wonder a more powerful presence, The Kid came waltzing in at the height of his arrogance. It's a shame he had to die, but it's also... Oddly satisfying how he met his some sort of comeuppance with The Kid.

    Surly Joe, the Gambler. He will gamble nevermore
    His days of Stud and Hold 'em, they are done
    It was long about last April, he stepped into this saloon
    But he never really took to anyone
    Surly Joe (Surly Joe!) Surly Joe (Surly Joe!)
    Oh, wherever he's gambling now, I don't know (We don't know!)
    He was slick, but I was slicker. He drew quick, but I was quicker
    And the table stopped his ticker, Surly Joe yee-haw!
    Surly Joe (Surly Joe!) Surly Joe (Surly Joe!)
    Won't be missed by anyone will Surly Joe (Surly Joe!)
    Humankind he frowned upon. But not now, his face is gone
    Guess your frowning days are done oh, Surly Joe (yee-haw!)
    Surly Joe (Surly Joe!) Surly Joe (Surly Joe!)
    A cedilla on the C of Çurly Joe (Surly Joe!)
    He was mean in days of yore. Now they're mopping up the floor
    One more sight to make him sore oh, Surly Joe (yee-haw!)
    Surly Joe (Surly Joe) Surly Joe (Surly Joe)

      And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
      Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
      Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
      The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed;
      And on the pedestal these words appear:
      'My name is Ozymandias, king of kings;
      Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!'

    ," meaning the "C" is pronounced as an "S," so it's pronounced "Surly." Also when one of bad guys refers to Buster as The West Texas Twit. Great parody of Old West nicknames. And the last scene with Buster - no spoilers - was icing on the cake.

How could Buster be sure it would come loose, pivot on the side he's on and then not just slide off or even flip back over on him? To enjoy this movie you have to suspend disbelief on a LOT of things...I'm relatively sure based on what you are saying that even if it was a "one-shot" event it's not likely to have happened. If the hammer was pulled back and his finger was on the trigger I would assume that as soon as the board made contact with his hand the gun would have fired (also assuming he lost control of his trigger finger and it's a super super hair trigger) and the bullet would have fired probably into the ceiling at a 45 degree angle towards Buster. The idea that his hand would be violently smacked with a board and then it would travel up and over and back towards his face BEFORE he misfires seems unlikely...

    This was my favorite scene from the entire movie. I wish he had more parts. I loved him and this song

    The part where Joe's brother shakes his lifeless body like he's just sleeping was sadistic yet hilarious

    I love the perfectly timed moments in this film, Like when he patted the Piano Players back and the cigar smoke came out at 0:49

    It's been a long time since I saw a movie that made me laugh as hard as this did.

    No body say they want a movie right now in 2019 please!
