My boxset finally arrived, but unless I forego all sleep, social interaction and work responsibilities there is no way possible I'll be able to watch it all in time for the film.

Astroman posted:I've been rewatching the entire show with my dad in anticipation of the movie, and while I don't think we'll be quite up to the end by Friday, we did just finish Season 2. Watching that finale, it blew me away how much plot happened in that one episode: I finished my rewatch today and I feel like most episodes are pretty dense; not quite this dense, but so much happens in each one. On my first watch I feel like my mind was all AL SWEARENGEN!! but this rewatch I appreciated much more other characters like Trixie, Doc Cochran, and Farnum. Also watching/reading interviews of the show I learned that the actor who played Farnum's sidekick Richardson was only there as an extra, but was noticed on the set and became a character on the show. Pretty cool! The ending to the series bothered me a lot like it did many others but not so much this go around, and I don't know if that's because the movie is just about out to give more of a conclusion or knowing what was coming and feeling that the tone of the season 3 ending isn't out of line. But I wanted Hearst to get hosed, I hated him so goddamn much, loving cocksucker.

The whole point of Hearst, as a guilded age robber-baron, is that he's so wealthy he is untouchable and can do anything. It's not at all fair, but that's the reality of it.

Gilded-age cocksucking piece of poo poo, loving cocksucker. I knew poo poo wouldn't happen to him, but I still hoped. This interview with Timothy Olyphant https://www.vulture.com/2019/05/timothy-olyphant-deadwood-the-movie-seth-bullock.html about the actor Garret Dillahunt that played two characters, Jack McCall and Francis Wolcott has a part in the movie: quote:I heard Dillahunt was in this. He was the only actor to play two roles on Deadwood, and now he’s got the trifecta.

Pretty cool! It was the actor's first speaking role in his career too. I remember reading somewhere that apparently some characters like Richardson got speaking roles because Milch would make on the fly decisions like 'I think this scene would flow more naturally if someone else asked that'. He was such a cool minor character. When I watched the whole series, I thought his scenes with Aunt Lou were really great little tidbits, like when she finds out her son is dead, or when she ties his tie for him before he goes to vote.

I loved the whole subtle thing where he was crushing on Alma, and his antler/deer/forest spirit worship. The evolution of her picking up random antlers from a guy selling them as she walked by, distractedly handing them to him and Richardson keeping them, to him carrying them, hiding them from her, and worshiping the deer trophy with them was hilarious but also strangely deep. It's sad he died IRL and won't be in the movie. Powers Booth was also so great as Cy. It'll be nagging at me the whole time I watch the movie wondering what his part in it would have been.

I like to imagine that Cy would have fully given himself over to The Good Lord Jesus in some evangelistic way as a method to scam people. I could see him getting into the preaching business and passing around the basket and making a living off of that corruptly. Actually, if Andy Cramed is coming back (and I don't know if he is) that would probably be a better way for him to wind up... I also wanted to add that I also *truly* love the Finale of Season 2 - "Boy the Earth Speaks To." Arguably the single greatest hour of television ever produced, in my opinion. It's right up there with Episode 8 of Lynch's reboot of Twin Peaks "Gotta Light?", or the episode "Ozymandias" from Breaking Bad, or the season 3 finale of Battlestar Galactica. or the Season 3 finale of Lost.... And so on. Off the top of my head those are probably the top 5 best hours of television I've had the pleasure to watch in the last twenty years. Which I think is best changes on the season or the year or my mood, but usually I'd probably say it's the Deadwood episode. It's the only one that has no reliance on surprise plot twists, or enticing mythology that's been painstakingly set up over dozens of prior episodes. No special effects, no "tricks", no big surprises that could be spoiled. Almost every other episode would have reduced enjoyment if you knew what was going to happen ahead of time, but not so with "Boy the Earth Speaks to". Nearly everything that happens is... inevitable, basically. From Deadwood becoming going from a lawless camp to an actual town with "goddamn laws and everything" officially, to the wedding, to Hearst's arrival and Wu's rivalry coming to a head, to Wolcott's suicide... There's something just extremely satisfying about seeing all the threads of the episode coming together and being woven up and finished. It's like... the first two seasons of Deadwood are slowly going about methodically weaving together this complex tapestry, and all the way to the end of Season 2 it's a tight-wire act that could collapse into a pile of thread or look all screwed up at the end. But instead it just all comes together and fits perfectly. It's funny, though, every time I realize how utterly amazing the finale is I get more annoyed at HBO for renewing it for two more seasons and then reneging on the second one. It's just like, we got this really perfect and totally complete story being told through the first 2 seasons, and that finale would have easily been the best *series* finale ever. And I do like the end of season 3, but... The "end" of season 3 is more like a scene and a line and was meant to continue onwards from there, whereas Season 2 spent an entire episode wrapping things up in the neatest and prettiest bow ever. Season's 3's ending just acknowledges that we *should've* gotten something pretty...

davidspackage posted:I always thought it was weird that Ellsworth tells Swearengen "that limey accent of yours" in episode 1, because he sounds 100% American to me. I know I'm necro'ing this post a bit but I've always wondered about the remark about his accent in the show too and McShane just explained it in a recent interview: quote:Yeah, Jimmy! The first scene I shot was Jimmy Beaver and I talking, when we hear the noise as Trixie shoots a trick. We had some talk about the English aristocracy, which Mr. Milch put in there as a kind of insurance. He said, “We’ll give him a little English in his background. just in case anybody wants to moan about your accent.” Which was the funniest thing!

Rupert Buttermilk posted:What are your thoughts on the last two episodes of The Shield? Oh man, you know, The Shield is like the one show out of the trifecta of series exploring the pride of, as well as the boiling inner depression/rage - two sides of the same coin - of white heterosexual American men- Sopranos/Shield/Breaking Bad is the trifecta of those shows from that era, and I feel pretty confident saying that even though I've yet to see The Shield. Back then, I avoided it because it seemed at the outset to be something more like pulp exploitation with copious gore and no substance. Of course, that's not what the show ever was even from the very start, it's just how they initially advertised it. My thinking at the time was, "dirty cops make my loving blood boil" having recently watched the Paradise Lost trilogy on the West Memphis kids - this was WAY back like 15 years ago. I was one of few fans of The Wire while it was actually airing, too (well starting with season 2, anyway) and at the time I felt like... The Shield must somehow be diametrically opposed to a show like The Wire, since it's main character was an openly corrupt cop, and I felt very political about stupidly uninformed yet opinionated... I know I ought to give it a chance, the Shield, but... I dunno, it's a tough show for me to go out of my way to watch, I don't even know where to stream it. OK! To get back to Deadwood, I really want to echo the comments about how good Farnum is. I know it's been said before on these forums, but Farnum (and Richardson) have always struck me as extremely Shakespearean-style characters, in the most wonderful way. Their scenes remind me a great deal of the blisteringly funny scenes Shakespeare would write for minor characters - even in tragedies and histories. Not even minor characters necessarily - take someone like John Falstaff in Henry IV part 1, it always seemed to me like Farnum had some of that character's insolence and wit, perhaps? Its the utterly amazing, the way he does those soliloquies (often with Richardson as a prop) while cleaning up bloodstains or reflecting upon some particular future or past perceived slight or humiliation. It is... very tough to create a character like Farnum, who is both beloved and utterly repugnant to both the fictional town and the viewers alike, no doubt. And yet, it is almost extremely appropriate and fitting that all the hard work Sanderson went into perfecting and playing that character would never get any real significant or special attention, and despite having a major role and about as much screentime as any other character, he knows he will never, ever make it to being third billed, forget about second billed, in a major film or TV show... And that probably most of the reasonably intelligent and media-savvy people watching Deadwood likely didn't even remember the actor's name, if they made note of it in the first place. It's gotta be VERY tough being a character actor. I honestly believe that Brad Dourif has been the greatest character actor in American film/television over the past *35-40 years*. I really defy anyone to name anyone else who has had such a prolific and memorable amount of roles from about ~1980 through to today, without EVER really being the lead actor except maybe in a select few incidences I don't know about or cannot remember. I'm very glad he's coming back, because frankly I think the relationship and characters that I really emotionally responded to from the start were Doc Cochran and Jane - both essentially decent and moral humans who could never really have it in them to harm others, barely hanging on in a world where they have to constantly be something they're not, hiding it behind irrational anger and drug addiction (jane's a 'fuckin drunk' and god only knows how many monkeys Cochran had on his back; my guess is 'a loving lot'. He definitely had *plenty* of bottles of Laudanum for Alma, no matter how many times she consumed or subsequently destroyed them. kaworu fucked around with this message at 17:46 on May 31, 2019 |
