    True Blood season 1 (HBO)

    As I understand it and remember from Earl Brown's posts on the deadwood forum on the HBO boards HBO needed 'band of brothers' type of viewership and DVD sales out of Rome for it to be a success. When it didn't they canceled their show with the second biggest budget in deadwood and kept Rome...

    True Blood season 1 (HBO)

    I don't get how you can put John From Cincinnati and Deadwood in the same sentence. Other than the fact they are both Milch projects they really share nothing in common. Deadwood was a critical hit that had a huge following that left on a high. It got canceled due to the outright stupidity of...

    From Pixar in 2007: Ratatouille

    I completely and totally agree. The Pixar crew deserves to have care and attention lavished upon them. 12 years of absolute excellence. From Toy Story all the way up to Ratatouille, nothing but charming, heartwarming, unforgetable cinematic experiences. Has one group of creative talents ever...

    Deadwood: Season Three

    I'm usually wrong on a daily basis (and sometimes twice on sundays) so this could be one of those times.

    Mabye some good news for Hobbits!!

    Well for the record Jackson stated on the FOTR commentary that Glamdring not glowing was in fact an error. Considering the release of all three films was a race against the clock I think it's very believable that someone forgot to mention to the cgi people that both Glamdring and Sting glow when...

    Deadwood: Season Three

    Well sir, different strokes for different folks. If you have the time and the desire I'd suggest running through some of the episodes a second time. Personally, I find the dialog to be so thick that sometimes many of the episodes don't start to click with me until the second viewing. On the...

    Deadwood: Season Three

    I haven't posted because I was pretty much 'in mourning' over the 'death' of what might be my favourite TV show of all time. This season was tremendous, and I can't for the life of me understand why HBO would want to cancel something this good. Like many others, I would be canceling my...

    Deadwood: Season Three

    Or it's just a scene with the dead Ellsworth lying there while Sophia touches his beard one last time. That seems more likely because we've never seen a flashback of any kind on the show as of yet. I have been hoping that maybe we'll get some kind of huge cliffhanger after the last episode...

    I thought for sure that meant Ellsworth lived through this season. Poor Ellsworth, I'll miss him.

    Deadwood: Season Three

    Pretty much every 'spoiler' post is just speculation based on the preview for this week's episode. Not even really a spoiler. The only post that really would qualify as a spoiler is my last. And that is from one of Jim Beaver's posts at the HBO boards, and it would not be a spoiler under regular...

    Deadwood: Season Three

    Although this is already in a spoiler tag, I think that most of us who are clicking the spoiler button are pretty much expecting speculation based on the next episode's preview. I was just on the HBO boards catching up on Earl Brown's and Jim Beaver's posts and I did read something that would...

    Worst use of CGI in a movie?

    I found the CGI in The Mummy Returns pretty distracting.

    Kevin Smith announces "Clerks 2"

    Not all movies, but certainly some movies. There are directors like Smith, Jackson and others who always do much anticipated commentary tracks. Whenever a Kevin Smith project is announced I'm always just as excited to hear the commentary track as I am to see the feature. All of the commentaries...

    Kevin Smith announces "Clerks 2"

    In a Kevin Smith feature it would happen alot. For example, in the Moiser/Smith commentary on Jersey Girl they were talking about how they wanted to do a 'special edition' of JG where Castro's character had supernatural powers and was plotting to kill everyone. They were saying some pretty funny...

    Kevin Smith announces "Clerks 2"

    Oh I agree and you make a good point, but seperate 'commentary showings' would take care of that problem. I just don't get how the industry isn't getting behind this. I think it's one of the more inovative ways to encourage repeat viewings that I've heard of in a long time. Sure, for Clerks 2...

    Kevin Smith announces "Clerks 2"

    I don't know if I agree. I think the theatre chains are wrong in doing this. This is probably the most clever way to drum up repeat business I've heard of in a long time. The ipod is a person device, I don't see what difference it makes if the guy five rows in front or behind you is wearing a...

    Deadwood: Season Three

    I think he said 'What's going on Charlie?' but that's it. And yeah, it's nice as usual to see him boil over like that. It also shows how close a call they had that episode. Had Bullock been in town Hearst's plan would have probably suceeded.

    Deadwood: Season Three

    Shaw is my cable provider, I live in southeastern Alberta Canada, and I will live. I went to my parent's place and they have Bell express view satalite and were uneffected. However instead of viewing deadwood in high-def on a 50 inch widescreen I had to endure it on a 27 inch poorly calibrated...

    Deadwood: Season Three

    A couple of hours before deadwood starts and shaw has to crap the bed and screw up all the digital/high def channels throughout the whole city. Nice.

    Rome back in 2007!!

    I also feel that the bob/Winters comparison is the most apt one. I also sort of feel that it proves my point. On it's own, Rome is a success in every way shape and form. But these HBO series have such a pedigree to live up to. In my mind there is no way that Ceasar is anywhere near as...

    Deadwood: Season Three

    I just finished rewatching the second season. When Adams and Swearengen were discussing the upcoming elections after Al signed the deal that made the camp part of the Dakota territories they made it clear that in order to prevent ballet stuffing to vote you had to have lived in Deadwood for 2 weeks.

    Rome back in 2007!!

    I don't think I've been clear enough. When it comes to alpha male type characters, especially in an HBO series I think there is alot to live up to. HBO has set the bar so high with characters such as these with what we've seen in Deadwood with Swearengen and The Sopranos with characters like...

    Rome back in 2007!!

    He was my third favourite character so I hope he is around for at least an episode. It will be jarring especially if the show picks up 15 minutes after episode 12 to see him being played by someone new. As for my verdict on the show... I thought it was ok. It's not in the Sopranos or...

    Deadwood: Season Three

    I thought it was a pretty good episode. Bullock arresting the pinkerton cocksucker alone made the episode worth watching. With the pinkertons in town one has to wonder if Al's murder warrent won't surface again. The magistrate that Adams killed in the first season may be the only official in...

    Deadwood: Season Three

    I knew they had to be going somewhere with Cox's character. You don't go and get a guy of Cox's caliber and devote that much screentime to him without him being crucial in some way shape of form. It's interesting that he might be heavily involved with taking down Hearst. I didn't really see that...
