So the Coen brothers get this idea for a picture about real life, yah. It's about life in Minnesota where everybody speaks like this, yah. It's very cold, and people are a bit strange, yah. So this car sales man wants to get some money from his mean father-in-law. So he gets two bad men to kidnap his wife for money, yah. These bad men go crazy or something and start killing everyone, yah. Sounds like fun, yah, but it's real sick. We have a great female sheriff and she's having a baby, yah. Her husband loves her a lot, and makes her breakfast every morning, yah. She's having a baby so she likes to eat a lot. Anyway she is looking into these dead bodies, and she's real smart, yah. Smarter than them bad guys. Her name is Frances McDormand, yah and she gets chosen for one of these golden men things, and wins it yah. So I didn't like the picture because the story was real sick, yah. I felt like throwing up when the wood machine thing was used for something real bad and naughty, yah. But otherwise it's real smart looking and the people get to say smart things if they aren't being killed, yah.
Comment: Far out, Far off, Fargo, yah.
