I'm just waiting for you to pull out the big time insults like insulting my taste in food. You really zinged Triplet Daddy with that one.

Fargo is a fantastic movie. I rank the Coen Brothers movies as follows:

1. The Big Lebowski
2. Fargo
3. Raising Arizona
4. Blood Simple
5. Miller's Crossing
6. O Brother Where Art Thou
7. Barton Fink
8. The Hudsucker Proxy
9. Intolerable Cruelty
10. The Man Who Wasn't There
11. The Lady Killers

Really excited to see No Country for Old Men.

Enjoy your Andy Sandler movies Rocky, I'll take something well made instead.

I just couldn't make it through Fargo. It was a bit too noir for me. From the list I have seen and enjoyed Raising Arizona, O Brother Where Art Thou and Intolerable Cruelty.

Fargo has such great characters. William H. Macy as Jerry Lundegaard is genius. And you have to love Steve Buschemi. My favorite scene in the movie is Lundegaard's wife running around with the shower curtain wrapped around her. Maybe I'm sick, but that always makes me laugh.

Yes. But the real genius of the show is to have pregnant cop Marge Gunderson crack the case.

I thought the real genius of the show was to be weird just to be weird so all of us "intellectuals" would like it.

No, I think it is the ability to capture certain aspects of characters and place ithem in extreme circumstances and see how it affects them. Jerry/Macy is fabulous in that film. You hate him, but you feel for him. Marge is also great, but the part I like the most about her is her interaction with her husband while she is pregnant and while she is trying to solve this bizarre case. It is a great film.

Having served in Canada Winnipeg watching "Fargo" really took me back to that area. They captured the speech and feel of that area perfectly.

Yeah I did. Since you're like a human pogo stick....it's too easy to kick out the leg underneath with the simple ones.

One day if you ever find your balls and ever win an argument I might have to really go for the good insults. Idiots like you are just TOO easy of a target.

See the really sad thing is that you are actually delusional enough to believe this.

I'm sorry that movies by the Coen brothers require some degree of intelligence to actually get. It is not a reason to lash out at those who actually understand something about filmmaking and can spot the things that make the movies great.

Good to see you are consistent and feel a need to throw out insults unprovoked as usual.

They aren't unprovoked...you being who you are....constantly invite and set yourself up for them.
