The Nice Guys (2016) vs Fargo (1996)
Watched these 2 back-to-back and cannot fucken believe their respective RT scores. The Nice Guys, which seemed like a clunky 15% tryhard piece of shit to me, gets 92% from RT. Fargo, which I was goddamn SURE would get a perfect fucken 100%, and couldve been the best fucken film I've ever seen, is a paltry one, fucking ONE, percentage point better at 93%. THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU. The Nice Guys gets man spooge shot up its clacka by the critics but iHomo the "buddy comedy" chemistry between Ryan Gosling as a dippy detective and fat guts Russ Crowe was just clanger after clanger after flop after flop. It just wasn't working. Time after time. Plus the entire thing was a blatantly transparent steal of everything from The Big Lebowski minus ANY of the charm, guile, wit or fucken anything. Copied the elusive LA starlet hunt, the bowling, the nasty rich moneybags who fucked them around, even the dropping a smoke in the crotch while driving bit. Fuck me, I half expected them to shoehorn Jackie bloody Treehorn in there and just be done with the whole charade. Why fucken 92%? Fargo was in a different goddamn class right across the board compared to that "Nice Guys" tryhard spermranch of gelding afterbirth.

The weirdest compliment I ever got from a woman is that she imagined in a relationship that I'd be like the husband in Fargo, referring to the lady cop's relationship. Though honestly, I feel like I'd likelier be more like the wood-chipper in the relationship between Steve Buscemea's character and the wood-chipper.

I'd take it. Slow and easy wins the race. Unless they call you "slow" and "easy". Then they go in the wood chipper.

I never won that race, unfortunately. But knowing this person inadvertently helped me win several other probably more important races, if you get my drift.

RT is shite. Fargo is genius. 93 percent is low considering the film is one that my three ex-wives and I enjoyed the most over the years. Perhaps I should have put Fargo on more often in those marriages. Slow to learn. Easy to please. That seems to be my film experience over and over.

I have had a relationship or twelve end like that. That's a nice compliment to receive. One of my ex-wives was watching "Goodfellas" and told me that I was "exactly like those guys" and that I talked "exactly like them" all the while pointing at me like she had discovered some secret about me. Perhaps she had. I did grow up working for a mafioso family. Yeah, it ended pretty soon after that.

Found "The Nice Guys" to be hilarious. But comparing it with "Fargo" is just dumb.

RT rewards acceptable mediocrity more than polarising brilliance. Fargo has probably got a higher average score, but just a few more negative scores because some critics are idiots.
