This is a great thing. Especially the scene where Spongebob is Don Vito Corleone.

Fargo: The TV Show
I don’t even know what to say. Why are so many fucking films being turned into TV shows? Like there isn’t enough shows on television, they have to go and put every decent film on the small screen. And Fargo is one of those films.
That being said, Fargo was given to us by the wonderful Coen brothers who also gave us such crazy characters as the Dude, Anton Chigurh, Barton Fink and John Goodman, in some truly great movies.
Fargo was released in 1996 and focused on the misadventures of some inept criminals who are being pursued by a pregnant police woman. While I watched the film at a young age, those ridiculous Scandinavian accents tend to stick in your head. It seems like it’s hard to sound depressed with that accent. All the “oh yah”, “dontcha know” and “you betchya” always sounded so damn jolly.
I also recall something about a woodchipper. Or am I thinking about a new lumberjack reality TV series?
Anyway, this show is being made into a TV series, dontcha know? It will be a 10 part series on FX and will feature the expertly-named, Billy Bob Thornton (who’s full name could well be William Robert Thornton), as a “rootless, manipulative man who meets a small town insurance salesman and sets him on a path of destruction”.
It has been made clear that the TV show will not crossover with the original, but will stay “remarkable true to the film”.
The Coen brothers will, regrettably, not be directing it, instead passing it off to the director of Bones. Which is…you know…good for him. Ethan and Joel Cohen will be the executive producers on the series, and no more.
I for one would like to see a TV series involving John Turturro as Jesus, as he works through the bowling regionals and nationals and sectionals and all the stuff from Glee, but with less singing and more balls.
Are there any particular films that you people think would translate well on TV? If so, let me know! Or keep the comments to yourself, which is what usually happens when I try to engage my readers. You guys are dicks. I try to involve you and I get diddly squat back. ABSO-DIDDLY SQUAT.
I will now proceed to go and cry into a pillow shaped like a dedicated bobloblawslawbomblowblowblog visitor.
SIDE NOTE: Remember that little “Lumberjack reality TV series” joke I made earlier in this post? Well…out of curiosity, I Googled to see if there actually was a show like this and, presented by the History channel’s confusion as to the definition of “history”, lo and behold Ax Men.
Heisenberg
Here’s a quick post because I can do whatever the fuck I want and I’m sure my views will stay at a steady two.
Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad, Malcolm in the Middle) hid at the San Diego Comic-Con, being noticed by no one, for the majority of a day, before he revealed himself. Wait though, you haven’t even heard the best part, are you ready? Were you born that way? I mean born ready, not…
Anyways, Bryan Cranston stayed incognito by wearing a realistic and creepy as fuck Heisenberg mask. That is, he was wearing a mask of himself as if he’d murdered himself, skinned (skun?) his own face and wore it Texas Chainsaw Massacre style. I was going to make a joke about Wrinkleface instead of Leatherface, then I remembered this blog is supposed to be funny. Here’s the face that will see every time you close your eyes:
It’s fucking huge. Scrolling down fast through this would be like a screamer video for the deaf. After seeing what it’s like in his own skin, Bryan Cranston ripped off Bryan Craston’s Heisenberg face to dramatically reveal that Bryan Cranston’s lovable face was underneath. Like a twist within a twist.
Or Bryan Cranston within Bryan Cranston. Eww.
