I still rewatch Rome like once a year and even in 2019 it still looks incredible in HD

Just like Deadwood - everything about the production of that show was ahead of it's time

The only complaint I have about Rome is that with the exception of Pullo's arena battle, the fight scenes suck rear end and are awkwardly shot. The worst is when Mark Antony and Octavian have a fist fight and it looks like two geriatric men pretending to pummel each other. The big battle in season 2 looks super cheap with obvious cut and and paste of the same 40 dudes over and over again

Yeah they had no budget left for the battle scenes and it's really sad. There's a good series on youtube called History Buffs that goes into detail about Rome and talks about the budget issues:

Was not expecting Colter Wall to show up in the background of the Trailer but that's awesome

I've seen multiple trailers now that have actual footage and I still can't believe this movie exists and is releasing soon

Calamity Jane: [drawing over Shaughnessy's biblical quote placard] "gently caress yourself, with a fist-punch up your rear end, today at the present moment!" [punches Shaughnessy in the gut]

My favorite Jane quote - well the top one of many

Ian McShane's talents have been wasted most of his career. Remember his one episode of Game Of Thrones? Him trying his best to make American Gods watchable? That pirates movie? It goes on and on. At least the John Wick series is pretty good.

I'm thankful that Deadwood exists for many reasons but letting McShane shine in something that is actually quality is definitely among the top of them.

The day they take Deadwood, Rome and The Wire off of Prime is the day I stop paying for prime

The movie was amazing and I'm so glad it exists.

One of the two Hearst guys pull off the murder made me pause and say "What the gently caress.. Patrick Swayze is dead!" Turns out, to my surprise, that Patrick Swayze has a brother named Don that when you put him in makeup and facial hair looks crazy close to how his brother looked right before he got really sick. That was a weird discovery.

I thought Sam Fields' dying words to Bullock was one of my favorite scenes in the whole series.

Yeah that was an amazing scene. I also loved that after years and years of being more or less a complete drunken fuckup Jane finally got her hero moment, and she got her girl. I was very happy to see her story turn out that way.

There are no truly happy endings in Deadwood - we've known this for over a decade
