Fargo


I loved Fargo when I first saw it in the theatre years ago, I loved it when I bought it on VHS (was one of about 3 films that I owned instead of renting) and I loved watching it last night w E, who had never seen it.

The clearly Midwestern tone, the hilarious Minnesota accents, the dark, sick humor and the fabulous acting.

The movie was just as good this time as my memory, even if the element of surprise was missing, and I enjoyed sharing it w E. Made us both want to watch more Coen brothers movies in the future.

It also reminded me of the snowglobe I got with the Fargo VHS tape years ago -- it came with a crazily original and sick snowglobe that had both white for snow and red for blood and featured the woodchopper scene.
