Future releases [2]

Got a newsletter from HBO Nordic today with information about new shows - apparently a show named "Fargo" based on a movie with the same name from 1996 will be available from april 23rd. Among others Martin Freeman and Bob Odenkirk (Saul Goodman from Breaking Bad) will star in it, so I'm definitely watching the first episode Anyone seen the film in question? Probably worth watching before the show airs!

Yes, Fargo is a Coen Brothers film, set in Minneapolis and Brainerd Minnesota, and Fargo North Dakota. If you haven't seen it you should watch it.



It's a wonderful black comedy thriller with a great soundtrack and wonderful performances. For anyone who has lived in Minnesota you'll notice that the accents are overdone at times, but there are people who do talk like that.

Looks promising, perhaps I'll watch it this weekend

Eh....Martin Freeman's accent made me cringe.

I haven't seen Fargo, but I've heard mostly good things about it (except for my mom, who was apparently traumatized by a scene involving a woodchipper ).

It sounds almost Scottish to me.

My dad hates the movie, but he's never even seen the whole thing. I don't know how a member of the NRA who has supported so many recent wars would be adverse to a little violence in a movie. It's fake, dad, get over it.

Last time I looked, Fargo was available on Netflix. So go watch it!

Thumbs up for Fargo   

I'll say one thing.  
When it came out, millions of people thought there had actually been such a crime, based on the introduction.   

NO! The Cohen Bros were joking, as usual.  

Fargo, for me, is one of the best films going ! Steve Buscemi is great as the non stop,small time criminal, who thinks he's up there with the Bad Boys. Peter Stormare is the silent,brooding type of Crim, but, even tho he has a DE-sensitized way to kill, he's just as vulnerable as Steve B, William,H Macy plays a scheming,squirming,bungling car salesman who wants to do better, & has a plan that goes BADLY wrong. I think the wood chipper scene could be said to be iconic now ?  You really should watch it Ringo when you can, its great fun  

If it's on Netflix I'll watch it this weekend I've been a fan of Steve Buscemi since he appeared in The Sopranos, so that's another reason for me to see it

One of my all-time favorite movies. Probably my favorite Coen movie.

I liked the Big Lebowski also, I thought Jeff Bridges was just perfect for that role.

And some nice music.    

Blue

That film just kept me hooked   There's really TO much to pick out, its crazy fun all the way thru, plus I like the witty dialogue !  

I've only seen BL once so don't remember much from it. Will have to watch it again. Meanwhile, my other favorite Coen movie is Raising Arizona.

The shear brilliance of bringing in Sam Elliot as the narrator!  

I have a soft spot for the Hudsucker Proxy, the first film of their that I saw-

Yeah, I liked that one a lot too. Have to see that again..

He looks eerily like Orson Welles..   

I will never grow tired of this video.

Yeah.   

He's also a stunningly interesting man.
