What?

We stop at pancakes house.

What are you nuts we had pancakes for breakfast.

Well, the little guy was kinda funny-lookin'.

The true genius of the Coens with that film was the claim at the beginning that the depicted events were based upon a true story. This was a deception and an effective one. Believing that Fargo was based upon a true story enhanced the viewing experience, because the story was so lurid.

"Reelz" cable channel is doing a piece on Fargo this Friday.

I couldn't really say... He wasn't circumcised.

Sooo... You were havin' sex with the little fella then. Right?

Ah, hon, you got Arby's all over me.

Saw it yesterday for the first time. Did a little Google research and learned the blonde headed killer is a European, actor, director, musician, who today is worth $215 million. Go figure !

Also one of the nihilists in The Big Lebowski, who was in the film within the film.

You should see the other guy.

The funniest exchange.

Mr. Mohra: So, I'm tendin' bar there at Ecklund and Swedlin's last Tuesday, and this little guy's drinkin' and he says, "So where can a guy find some action? I'm goin' crazy out there at the lake." And I says, "What kinda action?" and he says, "Woman action, what do I look like?" And I says, "Well, what do I look like? I don't arrange that kinda thing," and he says, "But I'm goin' crazy out there at the lake," and I says, "Well, this ain't that kinda place."
Officer Olson: Uh-huh.
Mr. Mohra: So he angrily says, "Oh I get it, so you think I'm some kinda crazy jerk for askin'!" only he doesn't use the word "jerk."
Officer Olson: I understand.
Mr. Mohra: And then he calls me a jerk, and says that the last guy who thought he was a jerk is dead now. So I don't say nothin' and he says, "What do ya think about that?" So I says, "Well, that don't sound like too good a deal for him, then."
Officer Olson: [chuckles] Ya got that right.
Mr. Mohra: And he says, "Yah, that guy's dead, and I don't mean of old age." And then he just pays his tab and walks out saying, "Geez, I'm goin' crazy out there at the lake!"
Officer Olson: White Bear Lake?
Mr. Mohra: Well... Ecklund & Swedlin's, that's closer ta Moose Lake, so I made that assumption.
Officer Olson: Oh sure.
Mr. Mohra: So, ya know, he's drinkin', so I don't think a whole great deal of it, but Mrs. Mohra heard about the homicides down here last week and she thought I should call it in. So... I called it in. End o' story.
Officer Olson: What'd this guy look like, anyway?
Mr. Mohra: Oh, he was a little guy... Kinda funny lookin'.
Officer Olson: Uh-huh. In what way?
Mr. Mohra: Oh, just in a general kinda way.

A few years ago there was another film that came out that was a cool quirky little homage to Fargo called Kumiko The Treasure Hunter. It was also loosely based on a true story.

In the film, a young unbalanced Japanese woman loses her job, watches a faded VHS copy of Fargo, and then flies to America to search for the buried money from the film because she believed the film's blurb that it was a true story. (This was based on an event that, of course, took place way before the money was discovered in the TV show.) The woman is played by Rinko Kikuchi, who was the female robot operator from Pacific Rim.

You're darn tootin'!

This is Mike Yanigita.



HOW THE HECK ARE YA!

One of my favorite movies of all time and I thought it was cool how the first season if the mini-series tied into the movie.

Agreed. I thought it was real for a couple years. Without access to the internet for many people when the movie was released I think it was much more effective than it would be today.

Ah, hon, ya got Arby's all over me.
