Die van Clueless Dork vind ik een mooie. Het is trouwens wel degelijk een pelikaan, die duiken zo als ze op een visje uit zijn;
klik. Lijkt me trouwens erg moeilijk om te regisseren, die beesten.

Maar als je eenmaal weet waar ze uithangen, dan kan je de acteur in het plaatje zetten en geduld gaan oefenen. De Coens hebben trouwens vaker vogels in beeld gehad, zo ook een vogeltje wanneer Lundegaard door de sneeuw op weg is aan het begin van Fargo en zie je een zwerm vogels voorbij komen wanneer Ray terugkomt van
de moord op Marty. Gelukjes of engelengeduld of wat? Ik vind het erg leuke details. In BF is het zeker opvallend en past het perfect in het plaatje.

Ik kwam zojuist nog de volgende
docu tegen over ene Madman Muntz:
Earl "Madman" Muntz was a well-known TV ad pitchman in the 1940s and 1950s^, appearing in oddball commercials for his various electronics and car businesses just after the Ed Sullivan show. He pioneered the same persona later used in the 1980s by Crazy Eddie, was friends with Bert Lahr and Dick Clark, married actress Joan Barton and model Patricia Stevens, and in his later years dated Phyllis Diller. This film is a documentary about the man and the legend, and includes interviews with those who knew him best as well as home movie footage filmed by Muntz himself.
^ BF speelt in 1941. Ik vind echter nergens dat er echt een (bedoeld) verband is...

Een paar leuke weetjes over het ontstaan van BF:
In 1989, filmmakers Joel and Ethan Coen began writing the script for a movie eventually released as Miller's Crossing. The many threads of the story became complicated, and after four months they found themselves lost in the process.[5] Although biographers and critics later referred to it as writer's block,[6] the Coen brothers rejected this description.
"It's not really the case that we were suffering from writer's block," Joel said in a 1991 interview,
"but our working speed had slowed, and we were eager to get a certain distance from Miller's Crossing."[7] They went from Los Angeles to New York and began work on a different project.
While filming their 1984 film Blood Simple in Austin, Texas, the Coens had seen a hotel which made a significant impression:
"We thought, 'Wow, Motel Hell.' You know, being condemned to live in the weirdest hotel in the world."
"Certain films come entirely in one's head; we just sort of burped out Barton Fink."
"Barton Fink sort of washed out our brain and we were able to go back and finish Miller's Crossing."

The Coens, however, have denied any intent to create a systematic unity from symbols in the film.
"We never, ever go into our films with anything like that in mind," Joel said in a 1998 interview.
"There's never anything approaching that kind of specific intellectual breakdown. It's always a bunch of instinctive things that feel right, for whatever reason."

The wrestling scene between Barton and Charlie is also cited as an example of homoerotic affection.
"We consider that a sex scene," Joel Coen said in 2001.
