Am I the only one who found Fargo mean, violent,  and not very funny?  It 
could be I disagreed with what people were laughing at in the 
audience--the kidnap victim being thrown down the stairs, the japanese 
guy who's wife died. and those accents, ok the first couple of times it's 
funny but it got tiresome.  



Also, with all the talk of Roger/Jessica anyone notice that this is 
pretty much a one-sided relationship, in that Roger needs her but bot 
vice-versa.  I mean Roger probably is not the easiest guy to get along 
with, whining, complaining, day to day stuff. Not great hubby material. 
Granted is shown sympathetically but let us not forget Jessica's side of 
things.  I think most of the posts regarding their tryst is dominated by 
Roger's side or am I wrong?



Diane--Sorry, thought White Noise dull, lacking that smell of the street 
so to speak which Libra has in spades.  Am looking forward to 
Underworld...sounds intriguing.
