There’s also a pun on whore’s feathers, referencing dancers who stripped using large feather fans to hide and reveal. The “college widow” is thus being subtly referenced in the title, although I agree, it has little to do with the movie.
Babe. I watched the movie. Note a single babe in it.
2001: A Space Odyssey – no mention of Ulysses at all.
I don’t think Ulysses mentions him, either.
How do you know?
I used to think that until I actually visited Brainerd. The accents were dead on.
I was born and raised in Fargo, though. I see it as something like British people seeing through what we’d think was a good English accent done by an American. Where are you from originally?
Well, to be fair, unless you’re being whooshy, Watership Down was the name of the, um, landscape feature; the geological formation; the “spot” where most of the story takes place. Kind of like dumping on *Washington Square *for not being about George Washington.
Blazing Saddles didn’t have any saddles on fire.
Monty Python and the Holy Grail didn’t have any snakes in it. And it had no full Monty either. Tho Life of Brian did.
As I remember, Hearts in Atlantis was the title of a book of short stories but the actual story on which the movie was based had a different name.
Yeah, sorry. It was a lame attempt at whooshiness (but not the first in this thread, I don’t think).
Actually there was a small rowboat in the movie though.
[Homer Simpson]…although it did teach me not to judge a person by the color of his skin- although what good will that do me?[/HS]
The scene that you refer to in your spoiler was actually filmed in Minneapolis. The exterior was a bar on Central Avenue in Nordeast Minneapolis. I’m 95% sure that the interior scenes were filmed in that bar.
Your rationale for calling the movie “Fargo” is spot on. The Coen brothers said as much themselves. However, the accents, while a bit over the top at times, are not that far from the truth.
Imagine how I felt when I watched XXX. They should sue for false advertising.
