If you haven’t seen the finale of Fargo yet, come back later. After what happens in Vegas fails to stay in Vegas, Malvo’s coming for Lester and that’s just for starters. Will there be no end to the number of bodies Malvo leaves lying in […]
Fox, fish, rabbit, wolf, dog, bear… There was no shortage of animal references in episode 9 of Fargo. It was full of tension and bloodshed, and made for a drinking game. I don’t think I’ve ever been more mystified over a series’ impending wrap up. […]
With whip smart twists and turns, this was the best episode of Fargo yet. I know I said that before, but that was before. How the fuck is this thing gonna wrap up? With wife dead and bro in jail, Lester gives zero fucks. He’s […]
Good morning! Chaz’s son Gordo finishes breakfast and goes to school where he gets in a scuffle with a kid in the cafeteria and the gun, planted by his Uncle Lester, comes tumbling out of his backpack. Set-up part one, complete. Deputy Bill flashes a […]
Another parable: a hungry, thirsty donkey finds food to his far left and water to the far right, but he can only have one. He dies from a paralyzing inability to choose. The arrival of the massive snowstorm in the most recent episode of Fargo […]
There’s no snow in the opening flashback to Episode 5 of Fargo, just a wheat field. Nobody’s dead yet, as far as we know. Lester passively haggles with a shop owner over a 3-pack of socks, but somehow walks out with a 12-gauge shotgun (plus […]
Episode #4 of Fargo opens where #3 closed. With god. It’s 20 years earlier and an old car chugging along that signature snowy highway carries a young Stavros Milos and his wife and small kids, on the run and in the red. When the car […]
FARGO EPISODE 3: A MUDDY ROAD Yes! Flashback! Fargo’s third episode opens with the mysterious “nude fella” in Malvo’s trunk from the premiere! I interpret that this way: shit is getting good. By the end of the hour, we get a chance to better understand […]
After Chase Bank’s discriminative move to close numerous accounts held by porn workers, financial giant Wells Fargo offered the enraged adult entertainment industry a warm welcome. “We recently reviewed your account and determined that we will be closing it on May 11, 2014.” This is […]
Let me start by saying I love Adam Goldberg. He shows up in the first scene of Fargo’s second episode. Also, I said this when I wrote about the premier, is there not a ‘Twin Peaks’ vibe or is it just me? Take the sign […]
‘Fargo,’ the TV show based on the widely beloved 1996 Coen Brothers movie of the same name, premiered last Tuesday. Created by Noah Hawley, it seems like the 10-episode series on FX will ultimately feel like a mini-movie, not unlike HBO’s ‘True Detective,’ and with […]
After seeing the first episode of the Wilfred, not the original Australian comedy, but the American version starring Elijah Wood and Jason Gann, I was perplexed and hooked. Four seasons later, I’m mourning the loss of one of the strangest and most original television shows […]
Mm… smell that. It’s the smell of the New Year! This means a whole bunch of new TV shows are launching. After the success of Fargo last year, it seems that the big wigs are feeling more at ease about adapting movies into TV shows. […]
Probably nothing pisses off bosses more than having to pay overtime to an in-house accountant to sort through a morass of telephone bills. Or worse, having to hire an accounting consultant from outside the company. Yet nothing pleases them more than the way that, mutually […]
You know, every time I see a movie come out that was inspired by a book and I get into a conversation about it with someone, I’m sort of dreading the moment I hear something like, “Well, it was okay, I guess, but I’m a […]
