I love that accent. I also associate it with niceness, as opposed to a New York accent (rude asshole) or a southern accent (dumb). <br /><br />As for the Coen brothers, I was ok with Fargo, but loved Oh Brother Where Art Thou and The Big Lebowski. Their films feature an absurdism which I appreciate.A Farmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11536475234970506497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8584393706491130969.post-45478305823111300412014-06-21T20:36:59.981-04:002014-06-21T20:36:59.981-04:00Minnesota and the movie "Fargo.?" Perso...Minnesota and the movie "Fargo.?" Personally, I found the movie disgusting, ridiculous, and highly insulting but apparently, I am middle of the road on this. Not long after it came out, I was with a friend in a medium-priced eatery near the freeway. A cute little waitress came over to get us going, give us menus, etc. As she was leaving, I said in a low voice to me friend, "maybe Fargo isn't so goofy. She could have made the cast without an accent coach."<br /><br />Well, she heard me. Long story short, we next met with the manager who determined such an insult warranted our removal from his establishment. We left and as we exited, we could see the poor girl was crying. We apologized profusely and left a tip.<br /><br />Screw the Coen brothers. Their movies are shit and they hurt people. I know people in this state who takes movies so seriously, they consider Ingmar Bergman "frivolous and superficial." Notice, there are no well-read intellectuals in the Coen brother's version of Minnesota. That's because those two wouldn't recognize one if they spent all day together.Jonathan Larsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05217670446743983955noreply@blogger.com
