Fargo for May 12

[Riff Magnum]

It is over the top, but Jennifer Jason Leigh's constant stereotypical fast talking 30's reporter girl shtick got on my nerves.......seeeeee!!

[hardcorefrokid]

Sweet! All I need now is The Big Lebowski.

Jerry Lundegaard: [talking to Carl on the phone] Now, we had a deal. A deal's a deal.
Carl Showalter: Is it, Jerry? Why don't you ask those three poor souls in Brainerd if a deal's a deal. Go ahead, ask them!
Jerry Lundegaard: The heck do ya mean?
Carl Showalter: [mimicking Jerry mockingly] "The heckya mean?
[repeated line]
Jerry Lundegaard: The heck do ya mean?

I just bought it today. Can't wait to watch it tonight.
I was suprised to see they changed the BD case, i don't really like this new case.

[Jimbo976]

Hopefully mine shows up in the mail today. I'm not a big fan of the new enviro packaging either

[PowellPressburger]

Yeah I can tell buy touching the case it is the new packaging.. Ugh... I picked up both Fargo and Good the Bad the Ugly at Target for 19.99 EACH.

Target has them in the reg BD section mixed in with the catalog titles FYI.

You know it's a good thing when I look at the DVDbeaver review that I usually have seen the movie, because they always have a screenshot of a pretty important part of the movie that gives something away. In this case, the wood chipper.

Cant believe I have never seen this. Will be buying soon enough.

It's one of the Cohen brothers best movies IMO. Will be picking this up in the future, but to many other titles I'm looking at right now. Wish they'd release O' Brother Where Art Thou now.

Is it like No Country For Old Men? Because that movie was a snooze fest...Is this as boring? Or a bit more interesting ?

I liked NO COUNTRY, but FARGO is a much more entertaining film. Where NO COUNTRY was a brooding drama, FARGO is a dark comedy. BURN AFTER READING has a similar feel to FARGO.

No Coen brothers collection can be complete w/o Barton Fink and O! Brother, both of which are masterpieces.

You don't have to like it, but saying it's a snoozefest is absurd. It is the most objectively suspenseful film in at least the last ten years.

[cembros]

sears has this title for 18.89 online as well as waynes world 1/2 and black sheep. Heading to best buy to get these price matched

Very slow pacing? No Country is not slowly paced. That is an objective statement.

Is it jumpy? No. But after Moss takes the money, every frame builds suspense, and it doesn't do it slowly.

There is such a thing as an objectively good movie. No Country for Old Men is one of the most perfect movies in the last 20 years, maybe ever. Opinions are great, but their existence doesn't negate the idea that there are objective criteria on how to judge a movie.

In every way a movie can be objectively judged, No Country for Old Men is nearly perfect.

If you thought NCFOM was a snoozefest then you should probably not blind buy Fargo. It's not gonna kill you to rent a movie and honestly you probably won't like it if other Coen bros. movies are not to your taste. Fargo has Coen, Deacon, and Burwell written all over it.
