Wow ,
I just logged into hbo for the first time in about a yr to see whats going on with the 2 promised movies and to see if curb is gonna have another season.
I dumped my hbo rite after the last curb season do to the fact no more sopranos, deadwood,carnivale and rome.I really gave up on the chanel after realizing that they just do not complete series very often and its basically a big downer for me since I get very into the few shows I watch.
I figure if there is ever a big buz around a show and it runs a long time I could just rent the dvd's like I did with lost.
There really is to many shows and to many chanels on to sit around and wait for hbo like we did 10 yrs ago!
well I Guess I will see whats going on at showtime since a few posters mentioned that they been having a run of good show,I guess the deadwood movies were just a smoke screen to quiet us down when the news first broke of the shows cancelation.

perhaps because in his day Hearst was known as a very powerful and unscrupulous business man, scandel, gossip and mayhem did tend to follow him....Manuevering the camp into a town would have considered much thought, it was on Indian territory and was in a delicate position, and many stood to win or loose from its movement from camp into town. The whole political process showed much thought and planning for these actors to work through this point of the series, well done, Milch had his brilliant moments for sure.....

Episode 25.
Al: "Pain-in-the-balls Heast. Running his holdings like a despot, I grant you, has a fucking logic. It's the way I'd fucking run mine. It's the way I'd run my home if I fucking had one. But there's no practical need for him to run the fucking camp. That's out of scale. It's out of proportion, and it's a warped unnatural impulse ..."
I've never completely understood why David Milch's version of George Hearst was given to this impulse. There was nothing stopping him from making all the money he wanted to make out of his mining operations in Deadwood. And yet, it seemed as if he saw the independent attitudes of the camp's residents as some sort of personal affront.
Anyways ... Al's words to Bullock set up what turns out to be the central conflict in Season Three when the question becomes not who will run what in Deadwood, but whether the camp itself would survive. That Al has this conversation with Bullock at Bullock's home gives us a glimpse of the sort of unity and cooperation necessary for that survival.
Deadwood taught me much and I'll always be grateful.

Al: What are you doing here?
Richardson: Too afraid.
Al: If you were too afraid, you wouldn?t be here.
Richardson: Too afraid to explain.
Johnny: He?s got a note pinned to him Al.
Al: Take it off him. Then stick him in the eye with the fuckin? pin.
Johnny: He don?t mean it.
Al: Tell him, ?nothing?.
Richardson: I?ll just keep quiet.
Al: No. Tell E.B., ?Nothing's going on? And then tell him, ? If I wanted to tell you anything, I?d have told you. Don?t send the imbecile over with no more notes.?
Richardson: I can?t remember all that.
Al: Can you remember, ?Nothin?s going on??
Richardson: Yes.
Al: Tell him that then.
Richardson: Thank you.
Tom: Mrs Ellsworth was shot at?
Al: Got her upstairs. I figured we?d hunker down till matters clarify.
Tom: Lovely.
Al: (to Davey) What?d the geek say walking past you?
Davey: ?The girls in here are pretty?

Not so odd! It sounds like a great working environment. I'm awesomely jealous.

My favorite Jane line was (am I'm paraphrasing): Do not interfere with me in any way. This is an invention of own devising which has temporarily malfunctioned . . . (there's probably more I can't remember, but which was followed by Doc's unforgettable line
You are one entangled fucking inebriate!
(Still makes me howl!)
I invested in the boxed set a month or so ago because these boards had me so homesick for it (I'm usually one of those lurker types). I've since lent it out to my employees and I've fielded more than one phone call in the morning from one chef or the other asking to calling in "Deadwood". We're slow right now, so all requests have been honored, I'm happy to say. Makes for some great kitchen conversation when they come back. For those leaving on a Saturday night with a season clutched under their arm, the whole kitchen calls out "Have a very Deadwood weekend!".
Guess you'd have to be there.
OTOH, the profanity in our kitchen (never a particularly family-oriented dialogue) has been ramped up to a degree that was previously only aspired to.
It's odd, the things that make me happy.

Just saw the clip on a video website that shall go nameless (but rhymes with huge boob) that has the rapport where Al is trying to tell Wu that he needs to meet the San Francisco cocksucker. No doubt one of the funniest moments ever shown on HBO.

?You geek-looking fuck. Get away from me before I cut your fucking heart out.?
You just don't get dialog of that caliber anymore.

I watched the ep last night where Hearst didn't care for Alma's offer. I can't believe that we filmed that two years ago!! Time has flown so fast, and still how I miss that show.

Huzzah ... we have a winner. Artie sold his place on the sly to Cy so it could become The Bella Union.
