Rewatching Deadwood now that I'm done my True Detective rewatch. What a wild change, going from Season 2 of TD where the lines are often bizarre to DW where each line is perfect

I’d never heard of it before and it was surprisingly good, even if describing it to someone would make it sound like Pulp Fiction Jr. * so the idea was we had no idea what any of them would be until they started. the other four were After Hours, The Odd Couple (dude had just died), Rollerball, and Rumble in the Bronx

I saw it when it first came out and while the Tarantino influence was pretty clear, unlike a lot of stuff that came out trying to ape his style at the time you could tell the movie could stand on its own two feet. Probably helped by having Doug Liman directing. Edit: I haven't been to a mystery movie marathon in years but God we used to have the best time - the movies were almost always deliberately chosen to be terrible or weird but you'd get the odd gem in there as well. That's how I first saw The Story of Ricky which is a life-changing experience

There's a terrific Ricky Jay documentary called Deceptive Practice that you can stream on Amazon Prime. RIP. He was one of my favorite celebrities -- a magician par excellence, character actor, writer, historian, raconteur. Fascinating guy. I always wished I could have seen him perform live.

"Should've said something pretty" is still a great ending line to me even though things were abrupt. It is a really important and warm character development for Al

Speaking of endings, I just finished the Season 1 finale. It's insanely good, and I think the best finale to a season I've ever seen. I think I watched this show for the first time too young. I wanted blood and back-stabbing, the show appeals to me more now.

Toxic Fart Syndrome posted:I think this may be TV’s Don Quixote for how well the rewatches hold up. I really, really need to echo these statements.... I've still barely begun to watch the second season of Deadwood yet, in part because the entirety of season 1, and the ending especially, was just honestly so much better and deeper and more complete and more meaningful. Threads in the story that seemed a little bit "scattershot" to me the first couple times I watched the show like 10+ years ago are now revealed as being utterly precise and integral to the story as a whole. And you also notice certain quiet moments of beauty that break your heart on this show. Watching Jewel fall in the thoroughfare, and then pick herself back up again.. Or the moment that passes late in the season in the morning sun betweem Al, swigging whiskey to hide his eyes going red-rimmed, on the balcony and a severely dilapidated Reverend Smith halfway between a fit and some sort of religious terror/bliss. Tons of little amazing moments like that. There's also the fact that when I first saw this show I was in my early twenties and was a lot more ignorant about 19th century American politics, and significantly I did not remotely understand just what a shattering, traumatizing, horrifying thing The Civil War actually was for America. I didn't truly understand a whole lot beyond the basic facts, which is like nothing. Since then I've seen documentaries and read books and listened to lectures (not that it was a passion of mine but I just hadn't quite 'gotten there' before in terms of having a solid grasp on the gravity of the events). Even though there's almost no direct mention of the Civil War in all of Season 1, it definitely looms over the characters and the events the entire time. Kinda like Al's picture of Lincoln, it's always there and yet everyone very pointedly has no loving interest in talking about it. And I do think the reference to the picture of Lincoln which before was only shot in the background a bit blurrily before that scene (and almost forever after that scene) is Milch making a direct reference to the way the show handles the Civil War - as in the background and always there (Al can't take it down even if it does make the sale of oval office go down). There's a lot of other cool stuff I noticed about season 1, but this post is too long already. I will say that I've been watching Westworld for the first time since I finished Season 1 of Deadwood, and boy does that vision of the west seem totally antiseptic and bizarrely clean compared to Deadwood; but then I guess that's the point, and what they were going for. Leastways I hope it was.

Mu Zeta posted:I'm still waiting for the Terry Gilliam movie But uh, The Fisher King came out like... at least 25 years ago, right? I really thought that was about as perfect as a Terry Gilliam take on Don Quixote could be, and Williams had the perfect combo of manic/frightening comedic energy that keeps him moving forward always, combined with the sort of unspeakable sadness and sense of trauma and lost dreams that belie the character. Anyway I mean, I couldn't really think of a more perfect Quixote than Williams and it's kind of a relief that he already made a Quixote-ish film with Gilliam already. I doubt this new Gilliam Quixote flick will be like, better than The Fisher King - either as a rough Quixote adaptation or a film in general. Which is honestly a bit sad. edit: Quick pronunciation question: I know that Quixote is pronounced "Key-Ho-Tay" (more or less, anyway) but what about the word 'quixotic'? I always pronounced it as "Quick-Sot-Ick" (again more or less) but now I am wondering whether the odd (for English) pronunciation holds true; maybe it's "Key-Hot-Ick" or something.. kaworu fucked around with this message at 13:41 on Nov 29, 2018 |

Basically, the difference the Quixote (key-HO-tay) and quixotic (QUICKS-ah-tick) is mostly down to English being a silly language that steals words from other languages because it’s too lazy to make its own!

Quixote is Spanish, so it's "key ho tey." Quixotic is an English word created by mashing the Spanish word and an English suffix so you can pronounce it however the hell you want because it will never make sense because both parts come from different languages.

I just did a rewatch a couple months ago and I was amazed at how many cool moments I remember were packed into that first season, but I don't get much of the Civil War context aside from Racist Steve and Hostetler. I don't think I've ever noticed Al's picture of Lincoln, or thought about where the characters are supposed to hail from. I guess people from Montana fought for the union? What was so utterly horrifying about the Civil War, anyway?
