This is a great movie. It's by the Coen brothers who apparently have some sort of cult following but I havn't seen any of their other movies yet. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, what are you waiting for? go see them all. the bros are excellent!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
fargo is good. DONT WATCH THE LADYKILLERS!!! It is awful! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
One of the characters has a genuine criminal mentality. He stuffed someone into a wood chipper. It's just about as evil as the movie "seven", only they're just normal killers instead of "serial" killers. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
dunno...it looked pretty serial to me... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oh really? hmm. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i dont like the police woman, i want to cave her skull in |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
one of the brothers fancies her though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm pretty sure there's like an official definition among criminologist or something which involves the criminal laying low for long periods in between killings. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i see. in that case i can't see why there would be a difference between killings in fargo and 7. ahh. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ha ha, I like her and the whole bizarreness of the characters accents and way they talk... like that one guy that stood there with the shovel and talked about moose lake etc to the cop. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hello |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
This is a good film indeed. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh yaaar? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
she goes to over the top with her voice! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
fargo --> the scene where they saw of that man,mmmhhmm,royale with cheeze!¨ it's brilliant |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
great great film "big lebowski" wails as well |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes I would kill her in the most violent way after feeding her her baby. I would also watch "The Big Lebowski" and "The man who wasn't there" another 1000 times if my neighbourhood video club owners weren't complete dipshits. |
||||||||
|
|

You can buy such movies on ebay for a mere 1.99 or so (vhs). It's maybe cheaper than renting plus you get to keep it. Most of them are in pretty good condition. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No it's a little more expensive than buying them... plus I don't have an account nor a vhs playback device. I usually get the movies I wanna see but some bastard customers wrecked both these dvds and the dipshit supervisor didn't replace them. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nice movie. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"than renting them". |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

Millers Crossing is brilliant, Raising Arizona is good, Blood Simple is cool, Big Labowski is awesome, The Man Who Wasn't There is good, Fargo is cool, O' Brother Where Art Thou is brilliant, Intolleratble Cruelty is OK, haven't saw The Lady Killers yet. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

Fargo is a great movie, probably the most accessable from the Coens. Barton Fink is great and completely original, I've never seen another film remotely like it. Big Lebowski is true genius (mixing the 2 best things in the world, film noir and marijuana) and I love all their other films, even Intolerable Cruelty and The Ladykillers which are both clever, colourful and memorable movies despite lacking in the originality and weirdness of many of their earlier films. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

O Brother Where Art Thou brilliant? I wouldn't say that. I think it's okay, but doesn't.. um.. cling. Fargo I would call brilliant. very simple storyline (simple as in: not contrived, which is one of the pitfalls the Coens seem to fall into regularly), great characters, incredible camerawork, great soundtrack. (and you didn't mention the Hudsucker Proxy..) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Barton Fink and Hudsucker Proxy are both quality too, I was listing them off the top of my head and me and films don't really mix. The first time I saw o'brother I wasn't too impressed but as time has one on I love it more and more, I love the dialog and the way the shots are framed, the music is cool and the way they altered the colour of the film just added to the atmosphere. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Nor Barton Fink smartass :P |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
never seen this, i'll hire it as soon as possible |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
never seen any other of the coen brothers' movies? you're missing out.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I've seen two wich are great : O Brother, Where Art Thou and the Big Lebowski I'll hire fargo for sure now |
||||||||

What are the names of some similar directors. To avoid a massive list that merely reflects a wide range of subjectivity, I'll be more specific... how about directors that fall into (or make movies that fall into) any or all of these categories: eccentric profound insane deep... And probably ones of a approximate semi-obscurity as fargo would be best since I might not have heard of those. These are your instructions, now MOVE, MOVE, MOVE! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The Oscar winning Fargo isn't really that obscure. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hmm... a tidbit of reasoning that seems to have eluded me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Just because you don't know something doesn't make it semi obscure. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you could try Terry Gilliam's work. not all of it falls into those categories, but quite a lot does. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

Blood Simple, so so Raising Arisona, one of their best. Miller's Crossing, very nice Barton Fink, pretty interesting. good. The Hudsucker Proxy, is good. Fargo, their most boring movie ever. i'll never watch it again. (i thought it was a travesty that this is the one that got an award) The Big Lebowski, their best by far a thousand times over. O Brother, Where Art Thou?, fantastic movie. The Man Who Wasn't There, along with the quality that wasn't there, the interest that wasn't there and the dialog that wasn't there. Intolorable Cruelty, a decen't movie, w/ a few to many turnarounds, but all in all likable. The Ladykillers, Tom Hanks is good, why do a remake? its funny at best. its ok. ........Lebowski is definatly their masterwork |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i didnt really like o brother where are though, i do want to watch ladykillers, it got kinda good reviews, one said that this was a rare movie in which tom hanks was standable |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes sir, it won't happen again... I promise... I have written down terry gilliam (I havn't seen any of the movies in his filmography either except the tv advertisement for monty python's flying circus which looked awful). Thankoo. |
||||||||

|
|
you might like "Brazil", by Gilliam. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"Time bandits" (it's got midgets), "The adventures of Baron Munchausen" and "Twelve Monkeys". Brazil will probably bore you. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
brazil was pretty boring yes...what's wrong with fear and loathing in las vegas? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"Brazil" is, quite obviously, his best work. even Gilliam himself thinks so OMG! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
groovy, more suggestions. I never used to watch movies, but now I have a vcr, access to ebay and tons of spare time. They seem quite a linear medium sometimes, but an advantage is you get to be really lazy. You don't even have to hold a controller or make decisions or something... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Did you quit your job or something? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nO, i STILL WORK AT THE SNAGGLEPUS FACTORY, UNFORTUNATELY. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I really like this movie, I love the sense of ''environment''... or something. The movie really makes me feel like I'm there, or makes me imagine what it would be like to be there. And I find Frances McDormand cute for some reason. |

Richard Linklater has almost always impressed me. School of Rock was the most un-him movie he ever did, but then again he didn't write it. i just took a trip into the big city to watch Before Sunset, which is the sequal to his genius love story Before Sunrise, from the mid 90's. Before Sunset was brillant, but then again i'm going to love anything he does w/ those two characters. they were even in Waking Life which is another brillant movie. Linklater to lookout for is: Slacker Dazed & Confused Before Sunrise Waking Life School of Rock Before Sunset try to avoid The Bakers Boys (think that was the name) funny how Linklater basically invented Mathew McConehey and Ben Affleck. Richard is also who Kevin Smith basically patterns after. he's notorious for having no plots, where characters just run around and do stuff. |
