If he particularly wanted to get the money from one room to the nextwhy didn't he just, say, carry it, with his hands?

thing was (and here we go in-depth)he put the money in the duct, to hide it in case he was discovered. he later, upon arriving back at the hotel, got the spooks that someone had discovered him, and so got another room (you'll note when he requested the second room, he specifically asked to look at a map, and then chose the room that backed onto his first room) so that he could sneaky sneaky get the momeny back, without returning to his room.

Oh ah.I think I missed the getting the spooks part, which made it seem as if the whole process was part of the same bizarre and pointless plan to move money through a duct, like the duct had magic powers and it was some kind of holy ritual.
I guess he was working on the theory that the guy following him will be waiting for him in his room, rather than watching at a distance ready to burst in on him. I had no way to know the character was thinking that, though, I'm not a mind reader.

The main character in the film is an arrogant retard who does ludicrous things like that duct businessthat are supposed to be sneaky and clever but don't actually work or match up to reality, and then he dies, the end. It's hard to care about him, or by extension, the film.
Come to think of it, O Brother Where Art Thou had exactly the same problem (with the dislikable hero, I mean, another arrogant man with wrong ideas who does stupid things and is supposed to be somehow admirable) and after watching those two films one after the other I don't like the Coen brothers any more.
