Fargo

[Uncle Spielberg]

Opinions eh

 

[Eggmundo]

It's a dilemma shared by Steely Dan, who said;
Hey 19, that's Aretha Franklin,
she don't remember the Queen of soul
Its hard times befallen the sole survivors
She thinks Im crazy, but Im just growing old

Hey nineteen
No we got nothing in common
No we cant talk at all

Capiche? I think you do now.

Bingo

Roger Ebert is my favourite and most accurate critic and is the greatest critic of all time if there's such a thing.

Me ?. I couldn't possibly comment as I have not seen it.

Blimey how does that work.
You pronounce over all things film.
But have not seen a film that appears, in all film related, top 50 countdowns and is widely regarded as one of the Coen brothers best films.
Who, inturn, are regarded as one of the best film partnerships around.

Not really into the Coen brothers, I have not seen every film ever made. I do not pronounce myself over all things films, I give a review on film I have seen, I said in my post I had not seen it, therefore did not give a review, not hard to understand really.

Fargo is great, but I agree with Les that Miller's Crossing is their true star performer. The "Danny Boy" scene in that is one of the greatest moments in cinema history.

But the Coens have only made one truly bad film in their 12 or so attempts: the simply dismal remake of the Ladykillers. All the others are at the least good, and at their best, superb.

Fargo was an okay film, but nothing to write home (or NSC) about, really.
Memorable mainly for that odd Wisconsin accent that they talk up there.

Fargo is set in Minnesota not Wisconsin.

I met someone from Minnesota shortly after seeing the film and was delighted to find he had that accent.

I've not seen Miller's Crossing but of the Coen Brothers films that I have seen, Fargo has to be the best.

 

[Trufflehound]

I've never met anyone on here in person, but I bet there's a fair few to whom those immortal words from Fargo would apply:

"He's... y'know... kinda "funny-lookin'"

Fargo = a fantastic film. Not up there with the Big Lebowksi, but still very very good. A couple of people have mentioned Miller's Crossing which I just didn't get at all, turned it off after an hour or so, bored out of my mind.

You're darnt' tootin'

Completely agree. His Dudeness or El Duderino if you are not into that whole brevity thing is one of the finest characters ever to grace a cinema screen in my opinion. But Fargo is quality too, enjoy Easy.

 

[Meade's Ball]

I'm not much of a fan of the schoolboy doperology of the Big Lebowski. Some of the dreamy sequences were enjoyable, just as they were in O Brother Where Art Thou, but the absurdism outmuscled the storyline for me, and left the scattered ruins of extremes and comedic lines all over the place rather than any notable layers stored beneath the surface worth eyeing.

I think I can OUT-BARGAIN, Easy's £4 purchase of 'Fargo'. The missus bought me 'The Pianist' in the 99p shop! Though, I will accept that it was only VHS and I assume Easy's was DVD.

 

[Easy 10]

Mine was indeed on DVD. And Fargo is BRILLIANT, whereas The Pianist is BORING, so you can KEEP your £3.01 change Mr K.

*winner*

 

[MattBackHome]

Fargo is awesome.

Are you trying to deny the holocaust? Facist.

 

[Easy 10]

Actually, I've never seen The Pianist, but it SOUNDS boring.
Didn't know they allowed the old Joanna at Auschwitz.

So you do not pronounce over all things film, but felt the need to click onto a thread about FARGO, the clue was in the title, and pronounce on 2 seperate occasions, someone elses opinion. In order to attempt to cover up your own lack of knowledge.


To me that smacks of someone who has to pronounce on all things film but didn't have anything to say.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

I opened up the thread as it was a film and I am interested in films. I posted 2 opposing opinions to show how people see the same film differently following on from a comment I made on another thread. What exactly is your problem with that ?.
