    This. 

    That Mike Yanagita scene? Beyond fucking brilliant! That's how you show don't tell!

    Whereas The Big Lebowski employs a narrator.

    Fargo is great but Lebowski?  Hard to top that!

    Variously credited to Mark Twain or Edward Abbey.

    This was my inner monologue trying to choose between the two.  Both movies are sooooo damn good.

    .

    I wish I was a sacrifice, but somehow still lived on.

    I always felt like the nihilists' trip to the pancake spot, where we meet the unfortunate Ms. Mann, in The Big Lebowski was a reference to their last film's nihilist's penchant for pancakes. 



    I mean, it's can't just be a coincidence that it's also the same actor!

    Pretty sure that the aforementioned unfortunate Ms. Mann needed unguent, too.

    My favourite Coen Bros. movies by far are O Bro and Lebowski so this was an easy choice.
