Or, if you can’t be bothered to sit through the whole thing, here are a few highlights from the Q&A. Goodman was perhaps the most enthusiastic — he spent much of the panel referencing lines from the film, much to the fans’ delight. Buscemi and Turturro got a few good lines in as well:
Buscemi, responding to the rowdy crowd: “First of all, you shut the **** up.”
Buscemi, on Donny and Walter’s relationship: “I just couldnt figure out why anybody would want to be [Donny] — until the end, when we’re up against the nihilists and Walter is so protective of Donny. I just found that really moving, and then I got it. It was like the Skipper and Gilligan. That’s what the relationship is.”
Turturro, on fans of the Jesus: “I actually have gotten a lot of sex mail from women and men about things they want the Jesus to do to them.” (Turns to rest of cast.) “Sometimes you guys are involved too.”
Turturro, on where the Jesus would be today: “He drives a schoolbus. For a girls’ Catholic school.”
Turturro, on the Coens’ mom’s reaction to the movie: “Joel’s mother said, ‘I don’t know where the boys come up with these ideas.’”
Buscemi, on Donny’s death: “I couldn’t believe Donny died. I couldn’t believe [the Coens] did that to me, after putting me in a woodchipper.”
Goodman, on a possible sequel: “It’ll never happen. Why think about it?”
Bridges, on the message he wants people to take away from the film: “That it is all just, like, your opinion, man.” (Cue tons of cheering.)
