Shut the fuck up! Or I’ll throw you back in the trunk, you know? Jesus, that’s more than I’ve heard you say all week. ---

[From memory:] Well, he’s never done _this_ before. > [@astorian](#): > > But when things get dangerous, and a cold, heartless, psycho killer is on the loose in a previously safe, idyllic small town… Marge comes through with flying colors and Tommy Lee turns out to be a weak, cowardly old man. And that’s one of the things that makes this movie what it is; the Cohens treat Marge with humor, affection, and _respect_. Ebert, I think, called _Fargo_ “a little masterpiece.” As time goes by, I think we can remove the qualifier. ---

I can’t think of another movie in which a major, pregnant character did not give birth by the end of the film. Marge is still pregnant at the end of _ **Fargo** _, right? “I always liked you, Margie.” “Well, I always-” “I LIKE YOU SO MUCH!” ---

I don’t know if I’d call Tommy Lee Jones’ character “weak” or “cowardly;” I simply think he realized he’d reached the limit of his capabilities. He was dealing with a criminal that was beyond his comprehension and thought it best to get out of the game. I’d love to see how Margie would’ve handled Anton, though. ---

Yes she was. My favorite Margie quote: Ooh, I think I’m gonna barf! Well, that passed. And now I’m hungry again. ---

I’m carrying quite a load here.” There was quite a bit of debate about that scene when it came out. From what I remember, two of the conclusions were: [ol] [li]It was just a cool scene. Why is there a cowboy narrator in the Big Lebowski, for instance?[/li][li]This scene gives the rationale for Marge going back to interview Jerry again. She was fooled once, she could have been fooled again, by Jerry this time.[/li][/ol] ---
