Wrong Side of the Red Posted July 19, 2007 Posted July 19, 2007 Ah Oh, The Star Trib is reporting that there is a new movie set in North Dakota and it doesn't sound good. The movie, which Pankratz tells me is being edited now, is about a reality show based on a North Dakota school and hockey team, which went from bad to good with the help of a star hockey player whose arrival coincides with a series of murders. One element of the movie, in these early stages, involves depicting "how backwards the people in North Dakota were," Pankratz said. This is not going to go over well in the Roughrider State, where some are still smarting from "Fargo." http://www.startribune.com/464/story/1306504.html Has North Dakota ever been viewed in a positive light in a Hollywood movie? Even though Fargo was almost entirely set in Minnesota, we still bore the brunt of the bad press, then Jesus Camp, and now this, Yikes. I think the state needs a better PR department. Quote

I am not too worried...doesn't exactly sound like a blockbuster hit. Quote
Goon Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 I think your right it's not going to be a block buster hit in ND, you might not even hear much about it as well... Quote
U2Bad1 Posted July 21, 2007 Posted July 21, 2007 If we're backwards in any way .. it's usually because we on average DON'T murder people. Quote
MrLeisure Posted July 21, 2007 Posted July 21, 2007 I heard that all you Minnesotans and North Dakotans put people in wood chippers... Quote
82SiouxGuy Posted July 22, 2007 Posted July 22, 2007 I heard that all you Minnesotans and North Dakotans put people in wood chippers... Only if they annoy us. Quote
Big A HG Posted July 22, 2007 Posted July 22, 2007 I heard that all you Minnesotans and North Dakotans put people in wood chippers... Why would someone in North Dakota have a wood chipper? Quote
Diggler Posted July 22, 2007 Posted July 22, 2007 Why would someone in North Dakota have a wood chipper? Ummm, to put people in maybe? Quote
HockeyMom Posted July 22, 2007 Posted July 22, 2007 Ummm, to put people in maybe? Duh! *looks around at all the red snow in the middle of summer* Quote
Big A HG Posted July 22, 2007 Posted July 22, 2007 Ummm, to put people in maybe? I guess that IS the only option being that there aren't any trees. Quote
