yeah the real premier is Jan. 29 (which I assume will be the pilot showing again, with a new ep on Feb 5)
― dmr, Tuesday, 3 January 2012 19:50 (twelve years ago) link
The pilot for this was insanely good.

I just love Milch's writing. It's like otherworldly Shakespeare, in that it takes you a bit to get into the rhythms, etc., but once you do, you feel much more connected to it. You have to PAY. ATTENTION. I like that he doesn't seem concerned with realism in his dialog at all, but it also seems like whatever the style becomes, it will have its own consistency, and therefore will become more comfortable/decipherable for the viewer over time.

so this pilot ain't on HBO Go?
― walking liquidity crisis (forksclovetofu), Wednesday, 4 January 2012 01:54 (twelve years ago) link
no shockingly!
― Mordy, Wednesday, 4 January 2012 01:59 (twelve years ago) link
probably cos it was a sneak preview deal

mordy i can't seem to reply to you on facebook, but i'm okay waiting

holy cow that horse run very good.

Pilot is Michael Mann, though, right? I wonder who they got to direct the other eps. Probably called Walter Hill off the bench again, I hope.

that horse run very good
― caek, Monday, 9 January 2012 12:46 (twelve years ago) link
from the sound of things Mann was heavily involved throughout
― Number None, Monday, 9 January 2012 15:01 (twelve years ago) link
Since it's an HBO drama, the rest are probably directed by Tim van Patten, Allen Coulter, and company.
― Cheap desert locations (Eazy), Monday, 9 January 2012 15:01 (twelve years ago) link
And a quick look at IMDB gives the directors of the subsequent episodes as Terry George, Allen Coulter, Philip Noyce, Brian Kirk, Henry Bronchtein and Mimi Leder

I found the incessant use of music on the pilot incredibly annoying and the starry casting a bit distracting. Didn't really feel any real Milchian zing in the dialogue. A little underwhelmed all round.
― Stevie T, Monday, 9 January 2012 15:19 (twelve years ago) link
possibly just me but i found a couple of the accents incomprehensible
dustin hoffman was amazing i thought
looked fantastic of course
― caek, Monday, 9 January 2012 15:25 (twelve years ago) link
not much of a starry cast, i thought? just nolte + hoffman and both had really subtle performances imo
― Mordy, Monday, 9 January 2012 15:28 (twelve years ago) link
Jose Yero's accent takes some close listening.
― Cheap desert locations (Eazy), Monday, 9 January 2012 15:30 (twelve years ago) link
Was pretta hypes to see Richard Kind show up. He could be in every show and movie and i probably wouldn't complain. But yeah, somewhat underwhelmed by this. Deadwood came out swinging, it announced itself. So many memorable moments all these years later from that pilot. I'm not at all sure what this is going to be after the first episode.

i just rewatched this, it is amazing
― caek, Sunday, 15 January 2012 03:20 (twelve years ago) link
finally watched this, I think I liked it, kinda felt like a high end csi miami, i thought he speed and power of the horses way portrayed really well
― lag∞n, Friday, 20 January 2012 01:55 (twelve years ago) link
didnt feel that mannish tho
or that milchish either now that I think abt it, tho the degraded milieu as single organism will prob reveal itself as the show goes on
― lag∞n, Friday, 20 January 2012 01:57 (twelve years ago) link
jockey girl is cute
horse execution was sad
― lag∞n, Friday, 20 January 2012 02:00 (twelve years ago) link
hoffman provoked the suspicion of the boss guy via dictaphone in order to lay a guilt trip on him, p deft, looks like hes out for revenge
― lag∞n, Friday, 20 January 2012 02:02 (twelve years ago) link
yeah this looks like it's gonna be p sweet
― lag∞n, Friday, 20 January 2012 02:03 (twelve years ago) link
yeah I didn't think there was that much of a Mann feel to it either. and I think the pilot is the only one he actually directed in the first season
― dmr, Friday, 20 January 2012 03:33 (twelve years ago) link
I'm willing to bet the visual palette he established, esp. w/ regards to the horse-racing scenes, will be stuck to pretty closely.

― caek, Friday, 20 January 2012 13:45 (twelve years ago) link

no i'm right. had a moment of total panic then when i thought i'd misremembered who she had sex with.

lol

i like the ridiculous camera movement and big sound when hoffmann throws his chair back, and then his confused old man thing when he realises he's torn his buttons
― caek, Friday, 20 January 2012 13:49 (twelve years ago) link
yeah the whole tone of the show was v unusual
― lag∞n, Friday, 20 January 2012 14:10 (twelve years ago) link
a curious cable drama, if you will.
― ⚓ (gr8080), Friday, 20 January 2012 15:31 (twelve years ago) link
is it actually on HBO yet?
― this is funny u bitter dork (forksclovetofu), Friday, 20 January 2012 16:59 (twelve years ago) link

the pilot is on on-demand now tho (at least on nyc cablevision)
― dmr, Friday, 20 January 2012 17:00 (twelve years ago) link
Just noticing that not only is the pilot on three times in a row on Sunday night, it is on ever HBO channel except for HBO Family on Monday night at the same time.

Wish HBO Family had an alternate version, with just the horses.
