Excellent work! I do thin the writers(Cohens) would be a bit upset that you cleaned up the wording, after all, "goddammit" is said on TV & radio all the time. If it was done for religious reasons... that's ironic, sicne the movie has a Christian theme running thru it. Other than that, the fonts chosen, the sepia tone coloring, the timing... perfecto!

This is actually to everyone who’s brought up the issue of why this clip is edited. I created this video for a school project and my teacher told me that I should probably just take the one expression out just in case it got chosen to play in the animation gallery in the lobby of our school (which it was). The guidelines of the project also required the clip to be 30 seconds long so editing out those couple of lines made it perfect to work with what I really wanted to play off of in the clip.

I am a big stickler for staying accurate to pop culture references, especially when it’s to pay homage to something as incredible and brilliant as the Coen brothers’ dialog that is used to construct masterpieces that will never be rivaled in their perfection. I’m a pretty huge fan. I meant no disrespect by removing what I did. That one word alone is probably my favorite part of that entire movie. Perhaps when I get the chance, I will jump back in and create an unedited version.

Thanks for editing the "Goddammit" part. I'm extremely sensitive to profanity and you saved my prepubescent ears from hearing that horrible expression.

Why'd you clean it up? He says, "I don't want FOP, goddammit!"

Great Job, I'm doing a similar project and I was thinking of using this scene!

The best thing to do would be to include the censor's "BEEEEP" so people will know there is a curse word and you can still keep the shopkeep's response uncut. It will cause people to seek out the original, uneditied version.
