Basically a nerd, basically a film blog.

INTJ

Catharsis is my favorite feeling.

Fargo (1996) Joel and Ethan Coen

The film - excellent, of course. I don’t know how many times I’ve seen it, and it never gets old.

The audio commentary with DP Roger Deakins - just alright. Deakins tells some interesting stories, explains some of the joys and difficulties of shooting, but towards the end sort of gives up and just watches the movie in silence. I don’t blame him =)

William H. Macy begged the directors for the role of Jerry Lundegaard. He did two readings for the part, and became convinced he was the best man for the role. When the Coens didn’t get back to him, he flew to New York (where they were starting production) and said, “I’m very, very worried that you are going to screw up this movie by giving this role to somebody else. It’s my role, and I’ll shoot your dogs if you don’t give it to me.” He was joking, of course.
