Favorite Film Moms: Marge Gunderson in Fargo
“So that was Mrs. Lundegaard on the floor in there. And I guess that was your accomplice in the wood chipper. And those three people in Brainerd. And for what? For a little bit of money. There’s more to life than a little money, you know. Don’tcha know that? And here ya are, and it’s a beautiful day. Well. I just don’t understand it.”
Bishop’s Countdown by James Horner for Aliens.
Imagine sitting in between baby boomers and other oldies while wearing fancy dress for the first time in months when the orchestra busts out this song during the entr’acte at Varèse Sarabande’s 35th Anniversary Show. I almost dropped my opera binoculars.

Here’s the opening scene from Breaking News, a 2004 Hong Kong action film. It’s a single tracking shot nearly seven minutes long.
It’s fun to watch even without subtitles, but here’s an explanation from the description on YouTube:
A special investigation team is observing a group of bank robbers who are about to pull a heist. When the robbers want to leave, some regular cops appear and start talking to the robbers about breaking some traffic law. The investigation team creates a diversion to get the attention of the cops, but one of the cops asks the robbers about a bag in their car and all hell breaks loose.
“Sometimes when you write something on the page, it can seem very funny, but when you act it out—and this happens to me a lot, actually—the melancholy of the situation becomes more front and center. I think it is a much more emotional show than a satirical romp. In the end, it’s kind of a mini-drama. There are a lot of comedic moments, but they’re not always laugh-out-loud funny.” - Mike White, writer/actor/producer for Enlightened.

Welp, new this day would come. Here is the final Character Update. So Peter Paul did a cool tribute and drew a couple of the generic Vikings I did voices for in the show. So I hereby present to you, Generic Outcast Soldier (Dumb guy who tried to take the Book of Dragons away from a Gronckle, tried to reason with a Nadder, got wacked in the head with Hiccup’s metal leg) and the Berserker Herald who announced the arrival of Dagur. Thanks again to Peter Paul for all these amazing drawings!! And thanks again to everyone who follows, likes, and reblogs. I always love interacting with you guys!
