And see I absolutely love O Brother, so I get that some people will like things that others don't... but that's why they make both chocolate and vanilla, 'cause everyone has their own taste

My (now-ex) wife usually couldn't see the most obvious and predictable things coming in movies, and she had this one figured out almost immediately. I enjoyed it well enough one time, but it doesn't have any re-watch appeal to me

I just couldn't get into Fargo, and I count most of the Coen brothers' other movies among my favorites. I am old enough that I was already grown when it came out, and it was all anyone could talk about at the time.
Another one is Lost in Translation... I'm a big Bill Murray fan, and I generally enjoy Scarlett Johanasson's work, but I just couldn't get into that one either

I saw the first one, but never saw what the big deal was... I didn't care for it - basically giant Smurfs in space.

That would be cool, so that's the story I'd go with! LOL
It could be as simple as an air bubble in the concrete that eventually spalled (fancy concrete term) the top off of it

I can't say with any certainty what it WAS, but my opinion is it's pretty unlikely that it was a bullet, particularly on a horizontal surface. Unless it hit perfectly head-on, a bullet would have very likely ricocheted and left an oblong mark or divot

Admittedly, I have not seen Fargo since back when it first came out, so it may deserve a rewatch see if my opinion has changed, but at the time it just did not do anything for me.
