So many jokes wasted in Armaggedon....Sigh...

With the re-teaming of Buscemi and Stormare in Armaggedon, I was hoping for an inside joke or two tying to Fargo. Alas, there were none. But back to Fargo itself now. One of those movies that critics loved but audiences didn't. All those comments up there of people that said they loved it, they're just jumping on the bandwagon. They want to be kewl and/or popular. I like Fargo, now, too, but it took practice. I originally saw Fargo at my local videostore for halfprice. I liked the acting in the movie, but didn't really see that much substance in it. But it came with that snowglobe. I don't know if you've seen it, but it's cool. Suddenly I had to have it. So I bought it, stored the movie somewhere, forgot about it. Then my friends came-a-callin'. They wanted to see it. So I pulled it out, dusted it off, watched it. Then some other friends wanted to see it, and I watched it again. And so on and so on until I realized....I kinda actually maybe sorta liked it....It hurt me, but I had to admit, Fargo was geek chic. Everyone is so corny and old fashioned and dull, and I realized that's what makes them so cool. I too, am addicted to Fargo.
SIDENOTE: This drives me crazy. If the action, the important, uh, thing, takes place in Brainerd ("Babe The Big Blue Ox!"), then why is it called Fargo???
