Even today, when I'm hungry for breakfast, I tell my wife that we are headed to "pancakes house".
GO COHEN BROTHERS GO
Common sense, if they wrote and produced a film about the black experience they would be panned by the black community for not portraying it the way they would want it to be portrayed.
I will watch and buy any Fargo-like movie they make for as long as they make them.
OK then.
They already gave the complaint more time than it’s worth. This is one of those cutesy damned-if-you-do, damned-if-you-don’t games the race pimps love to play. If they wrote a film poking the sort of fun at black people that they did to North Dakotans in Fargo there’d be rioting by BLM and shrieking that it wasn’t “authentic”. Just ignore the whiners - you can never please them and it’s a mistake to try.
The Coen brothers are intelligent writers, but the populace today want cartoons, and so the film flopped.
Do you watch the TV series? The first season was fantastic!
why are people so sensitive?
I’m Italian American and I love The Godfather I and II and Goodfellas. And a Bronx Tale and The Sopranos.
If someone out there is STUPID enough to think that they make up more than a very small percent of a percent of Italian Americans, why should I care?
Besides, we all know there’s no such thing as the La Cosa Nostra :)
Can’t wait to see the TV series. It will hopefully be on Netflix or Amazon Prime soon.
Finally saw Blood Simple.
The Coen brothers have mastered the depiction of a slow motion train wreck.
Why do Blacks expect Whites to write about their experience? That’s what Spike Lee does. If you want better Black writers, have more Black students finish high school and college. That’s the job of Black fathers and mothers.
After spending $18 TRILLION of their tax dollars on worthless social spending for 50 years, Whites have given up trying to improve Black lives.
Spike Lee and the rest of the OscarsSoWhite crowd should STFU and make their own movies and see if anybody buys tickets to them.
Good observation.

“True Grit” was a great book, and the Coen Brothers served up a fantastic treatment of it. Just saying.
I did, and I thought it was superior to the movie. Probably because there was more time to flesh out the characters.
I was impressed by the second season, as well. However, it took me a little longer to get into it; but, I think that may have been because I was familiar with all of the characters from the first season; and, I needed to get to know the characters from the second season. Kirsten Dunst was absolutely brilliant in the second season. I was so disappointed when the Golden Globe award went to Lady GaGa.
