Think it was early 00s, but you're right, it's extremely underrated.

I really like Fargo, but frankly I remain a little mystified that that's held up by so many people as the height of the Coens' art, or even their 90s art. If given the choice to pop in any 90s Coens on an impulse, I would honestly go for Millers Crossing (one of the best movies ever), Barton Fink, Lebowski and, hell,…

I just don't get the whole idea of Singles embodying the decade. But I was (roughly) the age of the characters in the movie when it came out, so maybe that's precisely why I wouldn't.

I Still Know What You Breathed Last Summer

Or the Staple Singers version.

Yeah…there should be a list of songs whose power comes almost entirely from their association with moments in tv or movies. (Woke Up This Morning, Stuck In The Middle, Everybody's Got To Learn Sometime).

Le Bel Age! Reconnected with that one kinda recently, was so glad it was as good as I had remembered. Good choice.
