  This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

  i wanted to give this a 3.5 but i just read somewhere that when steve buscemi calls up william h. macy so they can finish the deal, he says "thirty minutes and we'll wrap this up" and fukin guess what at that moment there were exactly thirty minutes left before the movie ends. what the fuck kind of ridiculous attention to detail is that? i have no choice but to bump it up half a star now. the coen brothers can call me up right at this moment and ask for a million dollars and i wouldnt even ask for context. i'll do it

  "I don't have to talk to you either, man. See how you like it. Just total fucking silence. Two can play at that game, smart guy. We'll just see how you like it. Total silence."

  having just watched los angeles plays itself, i’ve gained a whole lot of respect for movies that pay extra close attention to the cities they take place in. and as a minnesotan, i seriously cannot express how giddy i get watching this. i’m laughing at parts that aren’t even funny! i love my unbearably cold and uncool home. a perfect movie

  "How was Fargo?"
  "Ya, real good."

  Fargo is basically a perfect movie.

  Watched with commentary from Roger Deakins. Here are my notes (converted to full sentences):

  - Ironically, Fargo was shot during one of the warmest winters on record, and as a result the crew had to work around when and where there would be snow (shooting scenes that required snow first and saving interiors for later).

  - The style is very simple, restrained, and minimalist. Deakins describes the camera as "observational": most of the shots are simple one- or two-shots with few overs (i.e. shot reverse-shot) and almost no tracks, cranes, zooms, or perspective shots. There is an abundance of oners (i.e. long takes), but they're never flashy and…
