I sure did - Love all the callbacks to their movies, like all the “okay then’s” in season 2. I pity anybody that shares this opinion. Fargo is a movie of nearly transcendental quality. I’ve watched it over a dozen times and each time discovered something new. It’s like an elaborate puzzle box continuously unfolding and showing new connections. It’s about as inverse from mediocre as a movie gets. Her accent was deliberately modeled after William F. Buckley. I figured it had to be something along those lines but it was quite startling and effective. The southern cross is visible in Bolivia. He says, and I paraphrase, “They said I wasn’t that messiah after all! You could’ve knocked me over with a feather when I heard!” There’s a scene right after Caligula has Claudius thrown into the river where Caligula asks him if he thinks he’s mad, he add “be honest” when he asks Claudius. Supposedly this scene cracked the two actors up so much they had difficulty shooting it. You can even see Jacobi stifling a laugh as he tells Caligula he sets the model of sanity for the world. Great stuff! The southern cross isn’t visible in Minnesota - it’s not visible in most of the northern hemisphere. At least the Banshees had action of a kind and things happened and the acting was transcendentally good. Can’t say any of those things about this movie. I’ve watched the first two shows so far and am looking forward to the rest of them. Really the ONLY thing I’m not too keen on is the overly smarmy music that seems to be way overused. The best thing about this discussion is it provided lots of fascists accounts to add to my ignore list. What the hell kind of twisted logic is that? Where in the whole wide world is obesity promoted as healthy? Fat shaming is frowned upon for good reason, but that’s not what this movie was about at all. To summarize your thesis, because Charlie is gay AND morbidly obese, the left hates it and the right loves it. LOL! She definitely broke the plate but as for killing the bird, you ever tried to grab a bird? The only way she could’ve killed it would’ve been to poison it, and if she was going to do that she wouldn’t’ve broken the plate. So to summarize. If an actors character is a healthy energetic music icon, or any other kind of upbeat talented person, they deserve an award for best actor, but if their character is ugly, obese, repulsive, or masturbates to gay porn, or is disgusting in other ways, no acting awards for them! Check! Guess you missed the part where Elvis died of a drug overdose and became obese, and Fraser’s character wasn’t the whale from the title. Real perceptive review there. We watched this for the first time the day after the oscars aired and both of us thought it was the best movie we’d seen from last year, and it wasn’t even nominated. Okay then, so why wasn’t it even nominated for best adapted screenplay? It was clearly adapted from a play. They nominate several movies, like “Top Gun: Maverick” because they were based upon pre-existing characters! WTF? The adaptation for this movie deserved a nomination. When I experience something like this I try to give it the benefit of the doubt as obviously the filmmakers didn’t set out to bore or piss off the folks seeing their movie. As it progressed to me it went from tedium to a keen interest in what was going to happen next. After it was over I thought about it quite a bit, whic means it was still entertaining me. I admit, though, if you can’t get into its particular headspace you’ll probably hate it. Definitely not for everyone. As I watched it the sense of tedium from the outset gave way to an interest in what was going to happen next. I’ve found myself thinking about it several times after viewing it. When a movie does this that means it’s still providing entertainment, so I give it credit for that too… LOL! You mistake me for someone that thinks there is any point in arguing with an asshole on the internet.
