@Grant Le Bon really? I thought she was a Scott. My accent recognition is bad. I binge watch 'That Chapter' ... is he Canadian or Irish? I seriously don't know.
Great reaction!!! Two of my favorite comedies are What's Up, Doc (1972), starring Barbra Streisand and Ryan O'Neal; and Move Over, Darling (1963), starring Doris Day and James Garner.
One of the Coen brothers' best comedies! I particularly adore Holly Hunter in this. She's adorable. I love her so mu-uu-uch! 😭😭😭 The entirety of the 'yodeling chase' is comedic perfection from start to finish, and every time John Goodman starts screaming i can't stop laughing 🤣🤣🤣
Indeed, Holly Hunter is magnificent in this movie. Ever since I first watched this movie - DECADES ago lol - I still say, "Turn to tha RAGHT" when the situation arises haha. And Nic Cage has the best bedhead in any movie ever made. Should have won an award just for that!
Tex Cobb/Leonard Smalls (Warthog from Hell) used to be my neighbor in Nashville in the '90's. I met him when he did "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective" & episode of "Married With Children", around '93. I already knew who he was from the many classic movies he'd appeared in throughout my youth, including this, my personal favorite Nick Cage, as well as Coen Brothers movie. He was also a professional kick-boxer/boxer. I'd see him jog by my window every morning, stopping to punch trees along the way. Poor trees!😅 I'd also see him a lot at our local store on beer runs. We "knew" each other & he'd always take a minute to shoot the shit, but I never brought up Hollywood or his boxing career because I knew people bugged him all the time about it. Then heard he died, but later found out it was his son & he'd moved back to Philadelphia afterwards. Hope he's doing well. Hope you & yours are too, Dawn Marie! Best Wishes for 2023!🙏 ✌🌎❤
Too Kool! Been a fan of Randy's since he won the Heavyweight World KB Title! I remember he was on the Tonight Show w/Johnny Carson, and Johnny said it must be hard work to become world champion; Tex just came back "I'm the laziest person I know - I'll fight anybody just to keep from workin' a regular job." and Johnny just fell out laughin'!
We must have been neighbors because Tex Cobb shopped at the same grocery store I did back then. It was the Compton's Food Market on 21st, across from Brown's Dinner.
@@michaelbuhl4250 Yeah, I lived on Belmont on opposite corner of block that had the International Market, & was referring to the Circle K. He lived by Circle K still when I first met him, then he later moved down Belmont close to Wedgewood, but still got his beer at Circle K unless grocery shopping at Compton's. Belmont was real nice back then. I remember you could drive around with $75-$100 in your pocket & be able to find a place & move in on the spot! Was a whole nother world back then, as you know, old neighbor! ✌😎❤
@@satyadasgumbyji8956 I lived on Blair a couple of doors down from Brown's Dinner for a couple of years, and then I moved to Portland Ave. and lived in an apartment there for around 10 years or so. My rent on Portland was under $900 when I moved out. I can't imagine what it would be now. The people who owned the International Market were old family friends, and my college graduation present was a trip with my dad around Southeast Asia organized by them. I spent a lot of time at Bongo Java and at the Iguana when it was still around. I went to that Circle K quite often.
Took a date to this movie way back. It wasn't heavily promoted, so I figured the theater would be relatively empty should any hanky panky happen. But from the opening seconds we were both enthralled. My plan of romance in a dark empty theater quickly evaporated. Walking home, all we talked about was the movie. We went again the next night with all our friends in tow. My date and I are still good friends to this day. I am going to share this reaction with her. Top 5 movie in my favourites.
What a beautiful memory, thanks so much for sharing that. You make us feel like we were there with you. Definitely love this movie since it came out (I saw it pretty quickly after it was released, on cable). When I think Coen Brothers, THIS is the movie I think of, first and forever. And "Blood Simple" and "Fargo" are my other two favorites. And all three are similar: they're about crime gone wrong, and they're cartoonishly regional. Anyways, thanks for the great remembrance!
It makes me happy that you liked, this movie. It's in my top 5 favorite movies of all time. It makes me even happier that this movie helped lift your spirits during your holiday blues. Thanks for this reaction and take care. ❤
Haven’t seen this in a long time but it’s without doubt the funniest movie I’ve ever seen - can’t think of anything that comes close. Lots of rollicking laughter watching this multiple times with different groups of people long ago. There’s some funny movies like “Anchorman” or “Home Alone” but this is just an entirely different level.
The Coen bros have a delightfully dark sense of humor and I really enjoy their work. For more of their comedies - The Big Lebowski, Fargo, O Brother Where Art Though, Burn After Reading, and Hail Ceasar.
I grew up in Arizona. The state was filled up with people from the rest of the country, so doesn't have a regional accent. Doctors commonly sent their patients there because they thought the climate was very healthy.
I liked the people I met in Arizona very very much, but the climate was far to severe for me. I found limited amusement in being able to ACTUALLY fry an egg on the sidewalks.
I lived in Arizona for a few years, and I found that some people from rural areas had a "southern accent" (actually I'm thinking of one guy in particular from Wilcox, AZ, but not just him), but for the most part you're right.
@@michaelbuhl4250 Two L's in Willcox, my home town!(Live far away now) And yes, a bit of Texas/Tennessee accent influence particularly in the southeastern region of the great state of Arizona.
This was one of my favorite films of the '80s - and though I've recommended it to other reactors, you're the first to do it - Thanks so much, and glad you enjoyed! They made this on a shoestring budget and had to teach the SW speech colloquialisms to some of the actors (which worked their way into my everyday lexicon). H.I. said "her fiance' had left her", but dropped the accent at the end, so it came out "fiance". Former Heavyweight Kickbox Champion of The World, Randy "Tex" Cobb, played the Warthog from Hell, and needed no diction coaching (and wouldn't respond well to directions anyway).
actually SHE said her fiance had left her - Hi said "Edwina's insides were a rocky place where my seed could find no purchase" - which is sad, but so quaint and oddly put.
I was going to school in Phoenix when this movie came out. The Safeway grocery where Hi steals the Huggies was down the street from where I worked and the Short Stop he went to rob was by the school. I believe both are gone now - the whole Valley has changed so much since then. When my ex and I watched the movie, we kept saying - I know where that is, we've been there before. Great fun..
Just watched the trailer for "Renfield" and I personally can't wait! And yeah, he's either hit or miss, but when he's good he is REALLY GOOD. Couldn't begin to picture anyone else playing H.I. in this movie. Classic.
Definitely my favorite Cohen brothers movie amiga!!!!it’s also the first I saw in the theater. I laughed my arse off the whole time. I gotta watch it once a week ever since I saw it. Favorite quote: “WE GOT A CHILD IN HERE, EVERYTHING’S CHAAAAAAANGED”, and it was beautiful how Holly Hunter did that Elvis/Billy Idol lip curl 😍😍😍😍😍
Agreed: as a sometime stage actor, it's great to see Holly Hunter a serious actor who can pull real drama, set free to play a character pretty much as broadly as she liked.
Out West in Arizona, just as in Texas, it is almost the law that everyone has a gun. This was such a good movie. The scenes where he is on the lamb were great. The yodeling, the sound track, the dogs joining in the chase and everything running through stranger's houses. Great cadence. Those Coen brother sumbitches are great! Love your laugh!
whoever said 80's movies are crap had a concussion. There are some sinkers like all generations o films but more had better stories and dialogue than just super hero stories you get now. Really enjoyed this reaction of yours and Ground Hog day.
This is my absolute favorite movie! Every time I watch it, it’s just as funny and enjoyable as the last. It’s one of the best-written comedies I’ve ever seen- I love the combination of redneck dialect and highly-refined, almost poetic English and the subtly brilliant humor. That combined with the cartoonish but well-placed slapstick makes for something very enjoyable.
The Coen Brothers have made so many great off-beat comedy movies, this being one of them. I think this was the first Coen Bro movie I remember seeing. As for your favorite word - the first movie I remember hearing that repeated often was in a comedy action adventure movie "Smokey and the Bandit" (1977).
Ahhhhh! I love this movie like no other. That opening theme song makes me cry laughing even after all this time. May well be the best Nick Cage movie of all time.
I lived in Tempe AZ for 15 years. They filmed a lot of it there. The grocery store scene was filmed Osco near my apartment. I think the bank was in Apache Junction but it sure does look like Tortilla Flats. One scene looked like Papago Buttes but it's hard to tell. I loved this movie. A friend of mine named his dog... H.I.
Love this! SUCH a quotable movie 👍😁 For YEARS after this movie came out my family would use "Nathan needs some Huggies!" as a way of saying "I'm headed to the shop do you need anything?
Very glad you saw this film. It's my favorite comedy and I try to tell everyone about it, since it came out in the '80's and doesn't get enough attention these days. The Coens really captured lightning in a bottle with this film.
Hi Dawn, I’m glad to hear you’re feeling better after watching Raising Arizona. It’s one of my very favorites too. Another feel good romantic comedy is, What’s Up Doc. It’s a homage to the screwball comedies from the 40’s. It’s from the 70’s. That sumbitch is a fine movie, if you get my drift. 😊
Raising Arizona is one of my all-time favorites. Have you done other Coen Bros. movies? I recommend Fargo, Big Lebowski, True Grit, No /Country for Old Men, Miller's Crossing. Pretty much any of theirs.
Nicholas Cage is one of those quirky actors who can make any role come alive. There’s lots of movies with him that are great to enjoy. These smaller budget movies can really be just as good and entertaining. Thanks Dawn. Your laugh is infectious. SMILE. it’s a great thing.
Dawn, hope you decide to keep watching the Coen brother films. I highly recommend Miller's Crossing (interesting take on gangster films), Oh Brother Where Art Thou (their version of The Odyssey) and The Big Lebowski (probably their best film ever).
I remember seeing this in 1987 and you knew immediately that Cage and Hunter would have long successful careers. Hard to believe the Coen Brothers that made this are also made No Country For Old Men and Fargo. They are very good filmmakers.
Thank you Dawn for reacting to this one! I had forgotten how much fun this movie is, I am glad you enjoyed it, will keep an eye out for your voting polls, take care!!..👍👍👍
Nice to see you react to a Coen Bros film. They’ve done so many good ones… Fargo, No Country For Old Men, The Big Lebowski, Intolerable Cruelty, True Grit, The Hudsucker Proxy, O’ Brother, Where Art Thou… all great… and completely different from each other. Great job, Dawn Marie… go forth and react!
@@Wungolioth Barton Fink is one of my favorites. I’ve seen it many times, but never seen it reacted to. I wonder if it’s a film for more hardcore cinephiles… open to much interpretation and analysis that might bewilder most first-time viewers. All the ones I listed are a little easier for mass digestion, IMO… as are Blood Simple, Hail Caesar, Burn After Reading, Ladykillers, Buster Scruggs, Inside Llewyn Davis, etc. And yes, Miller’s Crossing, absolutely would be a good one to react to.
@@flerbus I did, but I wouldn't classify it as one of my favorites, it's good, but it's also pretty dead serious, I might have to give it a rewatch, but I recall it being devoid of humor altogether, and I was trying to focus on one I feel often gets overlooked in their filmography, and has humor, but in this case very dark.
hhaha Ive seen dozens of people react to comedies BUT Dawn Marie has some of the best one off lines- "hes got HUman hair in his boots" and he could "pass for half dog" ahahha
I'm so happy you enjoyed it!! This is one of my favorite movies! The reaction was amazing 😁. Hopefully you'll add phrases like "sumbitch" and "ok then" to your everyday vocabulary like i did since i watched it the first time 😂😂
John Goodman is the Coen brothers' muse, I guess. He's in a lot of their movies. They have a unique style of filmmaking in story and look. I'm always impressed with their camera work. Glad you liked it. They are one of the best American filmmakers, IMO.
Joel Cohen & Sam Raimi were friends. Both brilliant directors. And were in a competition to get the weirdest shots / camera angles. Always poking each other to do something different.
The Lone Biker of the Apocalypse was played by Randall "Tex" Cobb, a heavyweight boxer who fought the champion, Larry Holmes, in 1982. (He lost.) He's a blue-collar intellectual. Interesting man. Holmes whacked him around for 15 rounds, and he wasn't tired and he didn't lose his comedic touch. When they asked him if he wanted to fight Holmes again, he said, "Hell, yes. Tonight. Now. The sumbitch might get tired." "Sumbitch," a thing you hear all the time in the Southwest, is featured in an action-comedy called Smokey and the Bandit (1977). Quintessentially '70s and quintessentially American. Hilarious.
Really never expected this, so glad you liked it! It's such a great movie. You absolutely, definitely need to check out other Cohen Brothers movies. Like all of them? They're pretty much all gold, TBH.
One of my all time favourites. I cherish my VHS version. Holly Hunter is simply awesome. One of the funniest bits for me is when he strips his knuckles on the ceiling. Don't know what that coating is called, but I've seen it before, most abrasive. Also, I don't have any tattoos, but if I were to get one, I have just decided what It'll be.
@@honkoff99 yeah I've worked with Stucco for gables, I don't think it's that. I remember seeing it as a kid in the eighties, thought it was like a type of paint with the pebble type stuff through it. Popcorn is a good descriptor. Could be preformed asbestos. Asbestos was supposedly banned here in Australia in '87/'88.
@@arconeagain It's called Artex in the UK. My wife's old house had it on the walls down the stairway and it's definitely good for skin removal! Little details like that show the imagination and flair of the Coens, I love this film.
As a new year pick-me-up I recommend *Captain Ron (1992)* which is a New Years Day tradition in my house It's about a family who leave the Chicago winter for an extended Caribbean Vacation
If you need another heartwarming movie that will make you emotional... this movie reminded me of "Gifted" from 2017 starring Chris Evans! It is a very good movie... in my opinion.
I’m from Arizona. Got no accents here. There are a lot of transplants from other parts of America (like Chicago, New York, and many other places from the east coast) because it’s warm here. Good for the older folks with arthritis and breathing issues.
This is my favorite movie in the entire world. The dialogue is flawless. Three other movies that always make me laugh are This is Spinal Tap, UHF and Tank Girl.
One o my favorites " You got your health H I, what you want with a job ? ". If you want o get back to black & white comedy, I have the solution for you. My Dad turned me onto W.C. Fields. A comedic genius. One thing he did was figuring a way to curse when it wasn't allowed. Listen to what he says in that respect. Funny as Hell ! - The Bank Dick, my personal favorite. My Little Chickadee with Mae West. The list goes on . . ... Take care Dawn, Have a good 2023!
The word Ed used at the beginning when she was crying was fiancé not finance, it was just pronounced funny to emphasise her strong accent, she was crying because her mister dumped her. That's why Hide started cursing and yelling that any man that would leave her was an idiot. When I was about 15 I watched this movie at least once a week on VHS (it was the 90's) because the humour always cracked me up the same every watch - "Son, you got a panty on your head.." and "Well, unless you think round is funny" had me in stitches every time.
Love this movie. Love the Coen Brothers. Love Holly Hunter and Nicholas Cage. You should check out the Coen Brothers first feature film: Blood Simple. When you see P.O.E., E.O.P. on the door the biker rides through it is referring to the classic comedy Dr. Strangelove: Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying And Love The Bomb, directed by the great Stanley Kubrick.
Great quirky classic you can always go back to for even more laughs! Such strong characters and acting--some even seem quite Norman Rockwell-ish LOL...Ed for one is simply hilarious!!! And "Sowm-Bitch" fits you very well!...accent and all!!😜 Knew this would be up your alley, but never dreamed you'd actually be reacting to it!! Welp, I guess its next onto 'National Treasure' (2005) & 'National Treasure 2' (2008) for more of Nicholas Cage's best movies...they are actually very good, fun, family movies and were done by Disney (with very high budgets), before they started to get woke and suck. They are a cross between 'The Da Vinci Code', 'Indiana Jones', and 'Pirates Of The Caribbean', if you will. And hence the name(s), they are "treasure hunting" movies, with lots of action and (historical) puzzle-solving. 'Lord of War' is Nicholas Cage's 4th best movie though, which I also highly recommend and is certainly worth bringing up--now and at all times, due to war always possibly being around the corner--as it has a great message behind it which makes it a MUST SEE--it is very very deep, troubling &/or interesting, and eye-opening, 👉👁👁👈 to say the least. But 'RAISING ARIZONA' is his best and I just love that theme song! All 4 movies are widely loved by most. He obviously has many other films but these 4 were the greatest contributions to cinema, imo. 🙏🙏🙏 And you are being too adorable👌...plz stop. Lol.
I wouldn't call the way they talk an Arizona accent but the rest is Arizona to a T. We use to have *Short Stop* Corner stores which was like a *Circle K*
Lol! She said that her fiancé left her, but she pronounced it "fi eye ance," like what we here in the Mid-Atlantic Northeast would call a hillbilly when I was a kid, and this movie came out.
Dawn Marie, you may have known who the "Tracker" Leonard Smalls was, his name is Randall "Tex" Cobb,and he was a Professional Boxer, before this movie was made. But that was before your time, so maybe not. Edwina was played by Holly Hunter, who had a brief but excellent career, haven't seen her in a movie this century, but she could still be active and I don't know about it. Very possible these days. Enjoyed your reaction a lot, you figured out the plot really quick.
Holly Hunter ♥ACADEMY AWARD WINNER Holly Hunter, but how funny she is in this movie! She's been nominated and won almost every award in existence. Probably best known to modern audiences as the voice of Helen Parr/Elastigirl in The Incredibles. The Coen Brothers have made some other great movies with heavy accents that you'd enjoy--the more serious but still off-kilter Fargo (not a true story) and Oh Brother Where Art Thou? They exaggerate everything for comic effect, but that's fine. As a citizen of the United States southwest, this certainly does capture a lot of the feel of the region, even if it is mostly ridiculous. The constant appearance of shotguns in convenience and grocery stores is particularly ridiculous--as "gun crazy" as we may seem to be, even back then employees weren't allowed to carry firearms and blast away. We overlook that because for the story it increases the chaos level.

Yep. I grew up in the 80's and we just got used to the idea that every movie that came out was great.
The Coen Brothers humor is always unique, and John Goodman is in a lot of their movies.

I visited Scotland in 1987 when this went out. I was 24. I’m now 61.
This is my absolute favorite movie! Every time I watch it, it’s just as funny and enjoyable as the last. It’s one of the best-written comedies I’ve ever seen- I love the combination of redneck dialect and highly-refined, almost poetic English and the subtly brilliant humor. That combined with the cartoonish but well-placed slapstick makes for something very enjoyable.
The Coen Brothers have made so many great off-beat comedy movies, this being one of them. I think this was the first Coen Bro movie I remember seeing.
As for your favorite word - the first movie I remember hearing that repeated often was in a comedy action adventure movie "Smokey and the Bandit" (1977).
Ahhhhh! I love this movie like no other. That opening theme song makes me cry laughing even after all this time. May well be the best Nick Cage movie of all time.
I lived in Tempe AZ for 15 years. They filmed a lot of it there. The grocery store scene was filmed Osco near my apartment. I think the bank was in Apache Junction but it sure does look like Tortilla Flats. One scene looked like Papago Buttes but it's hard to tell. I loved this movie. A friend of mine named his dog... H.I.
I saw this when it first came out with my boss. We were quoting it for YEARS.
One of the greatest comedies of all time. Thanks for your fun reaction.
Love this! SUCH a quotable movie 👍😁
For YEARS after this movie came out my family would use "Nathan needs some Huggies!" as a way of saying "I'm headed to the shop do you need anything?
It's always uplifting to see one of my favorite reactors watch one of my favorite movies! Thanks!
Five words: O BROTHER WHERE ART THOU.
That's the year 1987 when I was born and I'm from Arizona when that movie was filming
Very glad you saw this film. It's my favorite comedy and I try to tell everyone about it, since it came out in the '80's and doesn't get enough attention these days. The Coens really captured lightning in a bottle with this film.
Congratulations - you’ve watched one of my favourite films.
I’m also adopted…u never forget that trivia: the Bounty Hunter has a tiny role in Back / Future (homeless man)
Hi Dawn,
I’m glad to hear you’re feeling better after watching Raising Arizona. It’s one of my very favorites too.
Another feel good romantic comedy is, What’s Up Doc. It’s a homage to the screwball comedies from the 40’s. It’s from the 70’s. That sumbitch is a fine movie, if you get my drift. 😊
Raising Arizona is one of my all-time favorites. Have you done other Coen Bros. movies? I recommend Fargo, Big Lebowski, True Grit, No /Country for Old Men, Miller's Crossing. Pretty much any of theirs.
@te.le.gramMrsdawnMarie Sorry. I don't know what this is or to do what you're asking.
You are my new favorite reactor. I'm so glad I happened upon one of your videos! Keep up the great work.
I forgot how much I loved this, thanks Dawn!
Nicholas Cage is one of those quirky actors who can make any role come alive. There’s lots of movies with him that are great to enjoy. These smaller budget movies can really be just as good and entertaining. Thanks Dawn. Your laugh is infectious. SMILE. it’s a great thing.
Dawn, hope you decide to keep watching the Coen brother films. I highly recommend Miller's Crossing (interesting take on gangster films), Oh Brother Where Art Thou (their version of The Odyssey) and The Big Lebowski (probably their best film ever).
I love Miller's Crossing!
Another great reaction, Dawn. This is one of my favourite films of all time.
I remember seeing this in 1987 and you knew immediately that Cage and Hunter would have long successful careers. Hard to believe the Coen Brothers that made this are also made No Country For Old Men and Fargo. They are very good filmmakers.
Nothing like a good comedy to raise one's spirits. Thank you so much for the enjoyable reactions you do. I know they make my day much better. 😀
Thank you Dawn for reacting to this one! I had forgotten how much fun this movie is, I am glad you enjoyed it, will keep an eye out for your voting polls, take care!!..👍👍👍
Nice to see you react to a Coen Bros film. They’ve done so many good ones… Fargo, No Country For Old Men, The Big Lebowski, Intolerable Cruelty, True Grit, The Hudsucker Proxy, O’ Brother, Where Art Thou… all great… and completely different from each other. Great job, Dawn Marie… go forth and react!
You missed Barton Fink, which is one of my personal favorites, but is a bit darker than this one.
@@Wungolioth you missed miller's crossing
@@Wungolioth Barton Fink is one of my favorites. I’ve seen it many times, but never seen it reacted to. I wonder if it’s a film for more hardcore cinephiles… open to much interpretation and analysis that might bewilder most first-time viewers. All the ones I listed are a little easier for mass digestion, IMO… as are Blood Simple, Hail Caesar, Burn After Reading, Ladykillers, Buster Scruggs, Inside Llewyn Davis, etc. And yes, Miller’s Crossing, absolutely would be a good one to react to.
@@flerbus I did, but I wouldn't classify it as one of my favorites, it's good, but it's also pretty dead serious, I might have to give it a rewatch, but I recall it being devoid of humor altogether, and I was trying to focus on one I feel often gets overlooked in their filmography, and has humor, but in this case very dark.
hhaha Ive seen dozens of people react to comedies BUT Dawn Marie has some of the best one off lines- "hes got HUman hair in his boots" and he could "pass for half dog" ahahha
My great grandmother's name was Arizona though she was born in Texas haha. They called her Zona.
I'm so happy you enjoyed it!! This is one of my favorite movies! The reaction was amazing 😁. Hopefully you'll add phrases like "sumbitch" and "ok then" to your everyday vocabulary like i did since i watched it the first time 😂😂
John Goodman is the Coen brothers' muse, I guess. He's in a lot of their movies. They have a unique style of filmmaking in story and look. I'm always impressed with their camera work. Glad you liked it. They are one of the best American filmmakers, IMO.
10:32. Wonderful land yacht, the 1972 Chevrolet Impala. My first car was one of those. But the one at 14:12 is a later model based on the bumper.
Joel Cohen & Sam Raimi were friends. Both brilliant directors. And were in a competition to get the weirdest shots / camera angles. Always poking each other to do something different.
The Lone Biker of the Apocalypse was played by Randall "Tex" Cobb, a heavyweight boxer who fought the champion, Larry Holmes, in 1982. (He lost.) He's a blue-collar intellectual. Interesting man. Holmes whacked him around for 15 rounds, and he wasn't tired and he didn't lose his comedic touch. When they asked him if he wanted to fight Holmes again, he said, "Hell, yes. Tonight. Now. The sumbitch might get tired."
"Sumbitch," a thing you hear all the time in the Southwest, is featured in an action-comedy called Smokey and the Bandit (1977). Quintessentially '70s and quintessentially American. Hilarious.
No matter what, I always give you Dawn a thumbs up.
Really never expected this, so glad you liked it! It's such a great movie. You absolutely, definitely need to check out other Cohen Brothers movies. Like all of them? They're pretty much all gold, TBH.
One of my all time favourites. I cherish my VHS version. Holly Hunter is simply awesome. One of the funniest bits for me is when he strips his knuckles on the ceiling. Don't know what that coating is called, but I've seen it before, most abrasive. Also, I don't have any tattoos, but if I were to get one, I have just decided what It'll be.
I remember them as stucco ceilings, but I see they're also called popcorn, stipple or acoustic and were often made of asbestos fibers until the 1970s.
@@honkoff99 yeah I've worked with Stucco for gables, I don't think it's that. I remember seeing it as a kid in the eighties, thought it was like a type of paint with the pebble type stuff through it. Popcorn is a good descriptor. Could be preformed asbestos. Asbestos was supposedly banned here in Australia in '87/'88.
@@arconeagain It's called Artex in the UK. My wife's old house had it on the walls down the stairway and it's definitely good for skin removal! Little details like that show the imagination and flair of the Coens, I love this film.
@@paulstroud2647 thanks for that. I agree.
Randall "Tex" Cobb - professional boxer and kickboxer.
Been waiting FOREVER for you to watch this! Lol. Glad you enjoyed!
As a new year pick-me-up I recommend *Captain Ron (1992)* which is a New Years Day tradition in my house
It's about a family who leave the Chicago winter for an extended Caribbean Vacation
I'm glad you liked it. This is one of my favorites.
One of the funniest frickin movies ever made, and I still refer to the Lonebiker of the Apocalypse often.
14:30 He got one pack of Huggies, the other pack he threw at that cop back in the store.
If you need another heartwarming movie that will make you emotional... this movie reminded me of "Gifted" from 2017 starring Chris Evans! It is a very good movie... in my opinion.
I’m from Arizona. Got no accents here. There are a lot of transplants from other parts of America (like Chicago, New York, and many other places from the east coast) because it’s warm here. Good for the older folks with arthritis and breathing issues.
I think you would love "The Wedding Crashers" with Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson
Sweet Dawn
It was a joy watching this movie with you
This is my favorite movie in the entire world. The dialogue is flawless. Three other movies that always make me laugh are This is Spinal Tap, UHF and Tank Girl.
Awesome movie 😂I was so high when I first saw this on the big screen in Hawaii 🤙🏽
“Bloody hell, all this over a pack of Huggies.” Dawn, you are adorable!
I haven't even watched the reaction yet and know Dawn is gonna love this one.
ALWAYS a great time watching your channel ✌️
Those sliding camera shots are epic!
@te.le.gramMrsdawnMarie Bite me scammer.
". . . where my seed could find no purchase."
One o my favorites " You got your health H I, what you want with a job ? ". If you want o get back to black & white comedy, I have the solution for you. My Dad turned me onto W.C. Fields. A comedic genius. One thing he did was figuring a way to curse when it wasn't allowed. Listen to what he says in that respect. Funny as Hell ! - The Bank Dick, my personal favorite. My Little Chickadee with Mae West. The list goes on . . ... Take care Dawn, Have a good 2023!
The word Ed used at the beginning when she was crying was fiancé not finance, it was just pronounced funny to emphasise her strong accent, she was crying because her mister dumped her. That's why Hide started cursing and yelling that any man that would leave her was an idiot. When I was about 15 I watched this movie at least once a week on VHS (it was the 90's) because the humour always cracked me up the same every watch - "Son, you got a panty on your head.." and "Well, unless you think round is funny" had me in stitches every time.
Coen Brothers: The Great Lebowski, Fargo, No Country For Old Men, Barton Fink, etc. Great comedies and great dark thrillers.
@16:39 This guy loves horses.
Love this movie. Love the Coen Brothers. Love Holly Hunter and Nicholas Cage. You should check out the Coen Brothers first feature film: Blood Simple. When you see P.O.E., E.O.P. on the door the biker rides through it is referring to the classic comedy Dr. Strangelove: Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying And Love The Bomb, directed by the great Stanley Kubrick.
Great quirky classic you can always go back to for even more laughs! Such strong characters and acting--some even seem quite Norman Rockwell-ish LOL...Ed for one is simply hilarious!!! And "Sowm-Bitch" fits you very well!...accent and all!!😜 Knew this would be up your alley, but never dreamed you'd actually be reacting to it!! Welp, I guess its next onto 'National Treasure' (2005) &
'National Treasure 2' (2008)
for more of Nicholas Cage's best movies...they are actually very good, fun, family movies and were done by Disney (with very high budgets), before they started to get woke and suck. They are a cross between 'The Da Vinci Code', 'Indiana Jones', and 'Pirates Of The Caribbean', if you will. And hence the name(s), they are "treasure hunting" movies, with lots of action and (historical) puzzle-solving. 'Lord of War' is Nicholas Cage's 4th best movie though, which I also highly recommend and is certainly worth bringing up--now and at all times, due to war always possibly being around the corner--as it has a great message behind it which makes it a MUST SEE--it is very very deep,
troubling &/or interesting,
and eye-opening,
👉👁👁👈 to say the least.
But 'RAISING ARIZONA' is his best and I just love that theme song! All 4 movies are widely loved by most. He obviously has many other films but these 4 were the greatest contributions to cinema, imo. 🙏🙏🙏
And you are being too adorable👌...plz stop.
Lol.
G'day Morning that was a mighty fine and dandy video thank you 🙏
This is way up there in the top movies of all time for me. Nic Cage is adorable in it. You are not wrong.
I wouldn't call the way they talk an Arizona accent but the rest is Arizona to a T. We use to have *Short Stop* Corner stores which was like a *Circle K*
"Leonard Smalls" was heavyweight boxer Randall Tex Cobb.
Lol! She said that her fiancé left her, but she pronounced it "fi eye ance," like what we here in the Mid-Atlantic Northeast would call a hillbilly when I was a kid, and this movie came out.
I’m from tx and ed had a southern accent. Ann’ it was her fiancé who broke up with her, but she said it in a southern accent
1:55 Her fiancé, or as she said it "fi-anse".
Dawn Marie, you may have known who the "Tracker" Leonard Smalls was, his name is Randall "Tex" Cobb,and he was a Professional Boxer, before this movie was made. But that was before your time, so maybe not. Edwina was played by Holly Hunter, who had a brief but excellent career, haven't seen her in a movie this century, but she could still be active and I don't know about it. Very possible these days. Enjoyed your reaction a lot, you figured out the plot really quick.
Holly was recently in the short-lived sitcom "Mr. Mayor" on NBC.
Holly has been in a few odds and ends from time to time. She played Elastagirl's voice in "The Incredibles" movies.
@@dan_hitchman007 Now I remember, thanks.
@@Madbandit77 Thank you, I needed that info.
Holly Hunter ♥ACADEMY AWARD WINNER Holly Hunter, but how funny she is in this movie! She's been nominated and won almost every award in existence. Probably best known to modern audiences as the voice of Helen Parr/Elastigirl in The Incredibles.
The Coen Brothers have made some other great movies with heavy accents that you'd enjoy--the more serious but still off-kilter Fargo (not a true story) and Oh Brother Where Art Thou? They exaggerate everything for comic effect, but that's fine.
As a citizen of the United States southwest, this certainly does capture a lot of the feel of the region, even if it is mostly ridiculous. The constant appearance of shotguns in convenience and grocery stores is particularly ridiculous--as "gun crazy" as we may seem to be, even back then employees weren't allowed to carry firearms and blast away. We overlook that because for the story it increases the chaos level.
Perhaps one of the most American movies ever made.
