Deadwood

i think a deadwood drinking game would be pretty easy to create.

i'm only up to S01.E03 but there better be some suggestions here when i get back

So is the mini-movies thing just dead? It ended Season 3 and no more?

The complete series box had a featurette with David Milch supposedly explaining how it would have ended. Though I haven't seen it, I imagine that is the end of that.

Also, I did the "everytime a person takes a shot, you take a shot" game once with whiskey.

Yeah, that shit is rough. The second game up there looks pretty fun though.

Someone who has seen the featurette needs to spoil this.

i think the ending was good as was. would have preferred more seasons obviously.

same here. just watched the last episode last night and was prepared for a letdown but i kinda liked the low key, poignant way they wrapped it up. was v disappointed that we didn't get to meet this supposed badass knife-wielding midget though.

There is nothing wrong with the ending of Season 3. The movie wrap-up sounded really cool to me.

Do we want a Kings thread?

no.

lol @ valentines

we have one: Butterflies have crowned Ian McShane: NBC's WTF Drama KINGS

and it deserves it.

halfway through season 1 now. it's amazing how ricky jay can make anything he says sound like a mamet line.

reading 'warlock' makes me want to get back into deadwood

deadwood is good but my roommates watched big chunks of the first & second seasons without me, so now i'm kinda lost :\

"Well, a lot of fellas, you know, are outpaced by white pussy's price."

this show is the best. got the complete box set for christmas and just watched through the whole thing. simply stellar work on every level imo

what did bother me though was the dvd packaging, the first dvd had great looking menus but then it got worse with each season. and no commentary or behind the scenes stuff is just downright offensive

? i got discs thru netflix and there was commentary on every episode

Yeah, there was a lot of extra stuff! Did they cut all all the bonus material that was always on the last disc?

okay this is the version i got, must be some budget edition then. the only bonus material was a couple of photos on one disc.

sounds like the americans get a better deal. i rented mine on lovefilm and got nada.

idk why the f they drop features for the region 2 version. does it cost more to burn the extra content or something? sounds unlikely.

Yeah, I'm noticing the Complete Series Box for the US has 19 discs, vs. your 12. There was a good amount of extras, come to think of it.

UGH. I always get my hopes up when threads like this pop up randomly. WTF is Milch doing these days? I know it'd probably be a logistical nightmare to get the cast together for that wrap-up movie, but I'm willing to bet most of them would be willing to fit it into their schedules if it were to happen. Right?

maybe UK distributor didn't want to pony up for licensing bonus features

this show is pretty great but has some incredibly slack moments. i think the overall pretentiousness would bother me more on second viewing once i knew the plot mechanics.

milch was working on at least two pilots for HBO last i read.

iirc s.thing to do with horse racing w. michael mann?

Oh, I see: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1174038/

"A veteran New York cop takes a young detective in under his wing." Way to journey into throroughly unexplored territory there, Milch...

horse racing w. michael mann

would be great if this were the title of the show.

followed by

foosball with kathryn bigelow

Well, tbf, it's not like John from Cincinnati set the world on fire.

should i bring myself to watch that one?

I loved JFC but everyone else hated it.

Last of the Ninth is Dead (not the capital d). This new one, "Luck," seems like it has a good chance, with Michael Mann on it. Dennis Farina and John Ortiz were just cast (neither is the lead, though, supporting roles).

I loved John from Cincinnati a lot.

horse racing show gonna star... dustin hoffman!?

i must have prosopagnosia or something cuz i didn't realize until tonight that the guy who played jack mccall (punk who shoots hickok) in season one is the same guy who played francis walcott (hearst geologist/whore killer) in season two.

They look fairly different.

they're very different characters also (although both are cowards and cocksuckers), but now that i know it just seems so apparent. the type of thing that makes me think superman's clark kent gambit could totally work.

Francis Walcott was one of my five favorite characters on the show, I think.

I would make a point to watch anything with Garrett Dillahunt (until that Raising Hope show) because of Walcott.

The confrontation between Wolcott and Ellsworth outside the mines is among my faves.

and he is the only watchable thing in that raising hope show imo xp

so many amazing characters on this show - Joanie, Silas Adams, Ellsworth, Charlie Utter, Ricky Jay's character

seven episodes in, the joys. mcshane doing magnificent work with swearengen.

I want to start it over again. I love Wild Bill so much

gf and I rewatched the whole thing this summer. Still my favorite show ever.
