Another revisit.
I don't watch as much stuff as some of yoo guyz, so my opinion may not be as informed, but I think Hunter is rangier and capable of reaching more powerful dramatic heights (even if she also stumbles harder and more often). McDormand's forte is expressing a lot without any visible strain and is a pro at underplaying the nuances of a character, but the results aren't always that interesting, IMO.
ETA:
Franny talks about living with Holly back when they first moved to NYC in the 80s, and how it was initially the latter who was up for the role in Blood Simple. I had no idea they knew each other!

No, I still haven't gotten around to covering that part of the decade. Still find myself too busy getting through newer releases.
