Netflix pick for 1/20/14 – ‘Fargo’

Here’s another one for the kids, you know, the people who were little children when “Fargo” came out in 1996, the people who are just discovering the joys of cinema beyond their own nose, know what I mean? Sure you and I know that “Fargo” is awesome. But someone has to tell the kids!

So “Fargo” is awesome, kids. It is a Coen Brothers movie, the same guys who made “The Big Lebowski” (you know about that one, right? With the Dude? Oh kids these days…). It’s got that ugly guy from “Boardwalk Empire” back when people only knew him as that ugly guy, and it has that long haired dude from “Shameless.” Do kids even watch these shows? Who watches this shit anyway?

Just watch this weird, awesome little crime flick about a guy who gets his own wife kidnapped so he can get ransom money from his father-in-law, and dig the wonderful cinematography, the snowy setting, the perversion of the “Minnesota nice” mentality that is so prevalent in that part of the country and which the Coen Brothers seemingly know all too well, the great acting, the tense story, the general strangeness of the whole thing, sit back, relax and get into this fantastic film which people talk about reverently because well it deserves such praise.

Check it out right here on the Netflix Instant, kiddos!
