Sup peeps?
Don't know if you know this, but I've been in the great state of Minnesota for a while now, but I'm coming back to LA! WOOT! So now instead of just reading my words, you'll see my pretty face (not) all over this site! Word!
But, alas, I am saddend by the fact that I'm leaving my once and future home state. So I decided to make a list of Minnesota movies that you should know about...
Number one, well that should be obvious. Fargo, written and directed by the Cohen Bros. Violent. Loaded with snow. Ya, sure. Ya betcha. And no, not everyone talks like that, but trust me there are a lot of us out here that'd suprise ya. Pick up the DVD with the special doc called "Minnesota Nice". Good times there...
Number two, well, this one ya'll should actually avoid. It's called Feeling Minnesota, starring Keanu Reeves and Cameron Diaz. Just...pretend like I didn't say this. I could have just as easily been called Feeling Nebraska or something. EW.
Number three, well, this is very art-y, but I love it. A Prarie Home Companion, directed by Robert Altman (his last film). Tells the half true story of a group of radio show performers and the fateful last night of their show. I say half true because the show does exist (I've been, it was amazing), but it hasn't been cancelled. Still going strong. The movie is pure Minnesota, check it out tonight!
K, so that's all I can think of for now, but check back later. I know I'll think of more as soon as I hit post...
