Supposedly the 'edited for television' version replaces the line "See what happens when you fuck a stranger in the ass" with "See what happens when you feed a stranger scrambled eggs" or "See what happens when you meet a stranger in the Alps?". It's always nice when some effort goes into the edited version so it doesnt just sound like the character has a speech impediment.

This films sucks. Ordinarily I would just ignore it but because everyone and their auntie sucks this films dick I kind of hate it.

Yes, I'm quite sure I just don't get it. I'm not the sharpest bulb in the oven and most (all) of the jokes are probably over my head.

Explain it to me.


"This isn't 'nam, this is bowling, there are rules."

Why is this funny? Break it down for me. He's stating that there weren't rules in Vietnam and that he takes the sport of bowling more seriously. This is like a throwaway joke on a bad American sitcom. Possibly King of Queens.

If this amuses you then whatever, you and I have a different sense of humour. If you think this is the funniest shit ever written then there has to be something to it that I'm missing. Something big. Something that you should be able to explain to me.

Is it because I'm not American and don't know any bowling enthusiasts?

And isn't the ashes joke stolen directly from a Mel Brooks flick? The one where he pretends to be poor or something?


Again, the amount that people drool all over this film makes me hate it more than I really do. It's just a below average comedy (to me) when all's said and done.

You're out of your element, Rotten Tanx!

Seen it hundreds of times. Fucking great movie. NC.

I would also like to mention that the Coens use great music. They got middle-aged women to listen to Ralph Stanley. They used fantastic and not over-used 70's rock and made me like a song from an oft-maligned Bob Dylan album. Using "sonata pathetique" as a theme was great. And the huge sweeping strings that played over the shot of a single car driving through endless snow in Fargo were very very great.

Carter Burwell uses folk tunes and melodies to fantastic effect with the Coens, such as the one in Fargo of which you speak. I get weepy at many places in that film, especially the last bit with Marge and Norm in bed, and the music is a huge part.

England has no Vietnam Veterans. I would expect a man ruled by a woman to say such things. Go watch Monty Python, pussy.

The event that sets the movie into motion is the dude trying to get reimbursed for his piece of shit rug that brought his piece of shit apartment together. A lot of the characters felt like family members to me so I see where you are coming from if your whole family is made up of cheese-eating, tea-drinking, crumpet stuffing asslickers.

why are you being such a bigoted, rotten little bitch about him not liking some movie?

oh yeah, aren't you only 17 or some shit like that? don't you have some chores to do you little twat? maybe if you finish them on time, mommy and daddy can get you a nintendo so you can get some of your pointless aggression out somewhere else. stop being a dumb little child. seriously.

I doubt your bullshit anonymous internet persona makes it's way into the real world, because then you'd most likely get the beatings you'd so richly deserve.



you boring, bigoted child.

I was only kidding. It was the American Vietnam veteran persona that is displayed in the movie. Get it? Maybe it wasn't funny, but it definitely wasn't vindictive and didn't warrant such a harsh response.

I am eighteen. Normally I wouldn't split hairs about something like this but I wanted to let you know that you have no excuse not to stand behind that sentence about the real world. If I ever see you, your attempt at buffeting me would be welcome and returned toward you.

Or we could just write it off as a misunderstanding and leave it at that.
