DEADWOOD The Movie May 31 2019 (1 Viewer)

[Tino]

As I said in the Deadwood cancelled thread, I just binged the entire series over the last 10 days. I was obsessed.

It was brilliant. One of my favorite TV series I have ever seen.

Although the series ended more or less complete, there were plenty of storylines not finished and I’m delighted that HBO has allowed David Milch to make this film.

Almost the entire cast is back except for those that have passed on like Powers Boothe who was terrific.

I can’t wait to see these fucking cocksuckers again!

I'm really looking forward to this as well! Watching Ian McShane reprise his role as Al Swearengen alone will be worth the price of admission IMO, cocksucker.

I posted this dialogue in the other thread but just because I like it, I'm reposting it here too.

"You ever think, Bullock, of not going straight at a thing." <pause> "No."

"Hearst won't take long before he honors the rigors of his putrid fucking nature." I've longed to hear dialogue like that for the last 13 years. Welcome back, David Milch.

Just saw the preview before GOT, I can not wait!

I watched this whole show more than ten years ago, but I haven't seen it since. I'm going to do a rewatch before the new movie. Looking forward to it!

 

[TravisR]

I'm going to do a rewatch before the new movie.

I still don't know if I'm going to finish before May 31 but I'm up to episode 9 of the first season.

I feel bad that you guys had to wait 13 years for a resolution. Having just binged the entire Series and have the movie in a month is a great treat.

Kinda like when I showed my wife the original Twin Peaks a week before the new series premiered. 25 years vs two weeks.

Now we if can just get HBO to bring on the Rome revival!

Now we if can just get HBO to bring on the Rome revival!

Which was David Milch's original pitch to HBO which eventually became Deadwood!

There's a really great interview with David Milch talking about his Alzheimer's diagnosis. It's horrible but the man is facing it with bravery.

Milch: Sure. When you know that you could have done something with a fuller heart, with a more open spirit, that’s an occasion for regret, and the regrets do tend to pile up. But there’s nothing to be done. That’s the predicate of regret. And so you kind of build around it, and do the best you can to learn some useful way to proceed.

Singer: Do you think about the future?

Milch: In a very constricted way. I have disabused myself of any thought of a normal future, but I allow myself a provisional optimism about the possibilities of what time I will be allowed. And I’m determined to experience what life will allow me. I know I have a short while possible to me, but I don’t want to constrict or profane that with recrimination or a distorting bitterness. And I permit myself a belief that there is possible for me a genuine happiness and fulfillment in my family and the work I do.

 

[Tino]

Yeah. Lots of great interviews around. Ian McShane and Timothy Olyphant gave recent great ones. Gotta go find em.

Friday night!

There's a really great interview with David Milch talking about his Alzheimer's diagnosis. It's horrible but the man is facing it with bravery.

He described his Alzheimer's as "an accumulation of indignities [and] an accretion of irrevocable truths", which is as concise and accurate a description of the disease as I've yet encountered.

Geri Jewell on getting cast on "Deadwood":

 

[Tino]

Tomorrow night. Can’t wait!

 

[Hollywoodaholic]

I wonder why HBO is premiering Deadwood: The Movie on a Friday night, the second lowest audience viewing night of the week? I see they're repeating it on Sunday at 9, which makes more sense. I will probably watch it on HBO Go on Saturday night because I'm seeing Rocketman Friday night (hey, Friday night people go out). Oh well, I've waited 13 years; I can wait another day. And I've waited about 10 years since I heard the Elton biopic was first announced. A great weekend!

*But I won't check this thread again until I've been to Deadwood again.

Woah! Hadn't realized a movie was coming... and I even just yesterday suggested to my son to check out the series after watching John Wick 3 w/ him (as we briefly talked about Ian McShane's Winston character)...

Too bad I don't have HBO... but maybe I should subscribe just for this month and also catch the final season of GoT -- assuming I can do that on my own time/pace -- instead of waiting for the discs...

_Man_

Holy crap, just spotted Jeffrey Jones in the crowd during Hearst's arrival-speech. Didn't think that guy'd be allowed within a thousand feet of children ever again.

Also, digging all the ten-years-later upgrades to the town, here.
