Really?
Remember the movies that all came out after Fargo?
Most of America is not into the “Lets see how much we can shock you” movies. And I loved Fargo.
And as for Juno, I’m not talking about what America likes, it’s what the Hollywood elitists like. If it were up to what America liked, many differnt movies would have been up.
What America — and the rest of the world — likes is what determines what gets made and who gets to work in the business of show. It is a business, afterall.
Since you haven’t seen the films you aren’t talking about their merits of lack thereof. What do the imitators of Fago have to do with the quality of the original? Which was about more then being shocking. Popular doesn’t equal good. Otherwise Pirates of the Carribean 13 would win.
