About Chocolate Parfaits

Yesterday, I have finished reading the second Kino no Tabi novel. (I skipped all the stories that have already appeared in the anime though; except for the story of episode 13 which was again so horribly tragic and touching in the book *snif*.) There was a land with lots and lots of books, but the inhabitants only read and didn’t write any. That reminded me a lot of myself who is not creative enough to write or make a film. It makes me feel pretentious and question my ability and rights to criticize and review the works of others who can ^^; But oh well, most of the times I’m just ranting anyways.

Fargo

I realized that even though I have heard about Fargo quite a long time ago, I don’t remember who recommended it to me and I knew absolutely nothing about the story before. I didn’t even know that it was a comedy so the funny characters basically fell onto me.

Luckily, even though it was not a Ha-ha-comedy (you know, films such as “Some like it hot” that make you laugh out loud), I found the film thoroughly enjoyable and I loved the character of Marge – this woman just has the greatest facial expressions *ahaha*

I have to admit that I find myself a little bit unable to rant about the film, because it does not raise any deep questions, it was funny without having any really strong in-your-face-funny scenes and no really noticeable details except for the way they talked: They have a nice way to abbreviate everything they can (“hon”, “jeez” – haha). And if I had to play a drinking game with having to take one sip every time they say “yeah”, I would probably die of alcoholic intoxication.
