His actions were those of a postal worker ; )

BTW, Malvo offed at least 2, and possibly 3 more people in the final episode, bringing his personal bodycount up to 33 confirmed / 3 probables. (Plus the dog.) Added to the list are Federal Agents Budge & Pepper, and (probably) the car salesman/librarian. (The same guy told Lester he worked a...

I couldn't agree more. I see no value whatsoever in blaming others for Malvo's murders. Might as well blame the gun lobby, or the manufacturers of the knife Malvo used on Numbers and the belt (I think it was a belt) he used on Wrench's police guard.

By that logic you could argue that Gus allowing Malvo to go free in the pilot episode led to the subsequent deaths of everyone! After every front page homicide, someone will invariably point fingers elsewhere and blame everyone but the murderer. It gets a little silly after a while, though. Gus...

Glad you asked; I've been keeping score. I make it 31 definites and 2 probables, (not including King, Milos Stavros' beautiful dog.) Here's the breakdown: The frozen accountant, Sam Hess, Chief Thurman, Don Chump(h), Mr. Numbers, Fargo Crime Syndicate (22), the unnamed policeman guarding...

I didn't think anything could depress me more than Shirley Temple's death; but losing Sid Caesar the very next day was the proverbial "double whammy." The Golden Age is slipping away from us, and there's not a damn thing anyone can do about it. This one really hurt because, as with Jonathan...

Gawd, I love this movie! Just got the set in January and I've watched it 3 times already! Favorite extended sequence: the "recap" cross-cutting at the end of Act I, which gathers up all the story threads into one exhilarating montage, sort of like D.W. Griffith on laughing gas. Favorite single...

Lena Horne singing our song, (from "Lena in Hollywood" UA 1965):

Brian, I tried it myself already and it didn't work out. The slots in the Essential L&H set are smaller and the space is much, much tighter. The L&H set is absolutely essential, of course -- I couldn't imagine owning a film library without it -- but I keep the discs in separate storage cases...

For anyone who dislikes the slide-in cardboard slots used in this release, especially if (like me) you're worried about scratched discs -- I found a nice solution! Sleeve City (sleevecityusa.com) sells a product called Diskeeper Anti-Static Round Bottom CD/DVD Sleeves, which come 100 to the...

Just screened the extended version and I still can't find Allen Jenkins. (I know he plays a cop, like Tom Kennedy. I've seen a still of it somewhere.) Can someone help? Where's "Officer Dibble"??

No wonder they were irritable -- you must've interrupted GLEE.

"Chicken pot pie... glazed ham... ...chocolate-covered RAISINS!!" --Ren Hoek, SPACE MADNESS (1991)

Delivered! I guess I'll be calling in "sick" tomorrow. Ha! There IS one disappointing note, and it's a minor one. It breaks my heart to say it, because he's such a hero of mine, but 89 year-old Jack Davis needs to hang up the gloves. There's absolutely no shame in it. Like Mickey Rooney he's...

Click on the "Track Package" icon anyway. My Amazon order page still says "Pre-ordered" (as opposed to "Shipped"), but the Tracking History says it's not only in transit, but currently at a USPS carrier facility that's less than an hour away.
