Concerning GWTW, I showed the DVD at my home to my daughters (13 and 10) recently, since we're considering a move to the Carolinas.
My wife is a decendent of General Sherman, so when the party scenes at the big plantation houses were on, I told them, "Your great-great-great grand-uncle burned that house down."
Certainly got their attention!
Sounds like "Fargo" got some rises too from up about Frostbite Falls. I didn't say "accurate" - I said "more accurate." I did find that the Sheriff's accent was familar to my ear from my travels to Minnesota.
I think my point is that the Coen Brothers stoop to cheap shots against everyone. They seem to insult people in the South, the North, and the West. What next? A comedy about Puritans?
Shouldn't we, the audience, be embarressed to share those cheap, demeaning, negative shots? Can't we find more wholesome, constructive entertainment?
