Fargo: 1 line industry ×1

  1. industry (studio patience): Fargo → Bottle Rocket. Alex Ross Perry's point: studios once kept investing in talented directors after a commercial flop like Bottle Rocket, as with the Coens.
    “Wes Anderson makes bottle rocket for like $5000000 at Colombia and it bombs, but it gets good reviews.”

Luke Wilson: 1 line theme ×1

    “He's very good in bottle rocket because he plays this kind of doe eye, innocent type”

Walking and Talking: 1 line contrast ×1

  1. contrast (contrast): Walking and Talking → Bottle Rocket. Nicole's debut had romance in it and Wes's was about goofy teens; Brian wonders why she is not grouped with PTA and Wes.
