Buffista Movies 5: Development Hell
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Some good guesses here: [link]
Why did this happen? A complicated set of issues that revolve around money, it would seem. The bottom line is that "Deadwood" is expensive to make, cannot possibly be cut for use elsewhere (even on ad-supported cable), would not be co-financed by any other production company in Season 4 (unlike the very expensive historical drama "Rome," where costs are offset by foreign producers other than HBO) and would require HBO to pay the "Deadwood" actors to sit around while notorious clock-killer Milch works on a different HBO series, "John From Cincinnati." Nothing dramatically new in all of that except, and this a big exception, HBO balked at paying the tab.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Sopranos are done until 2007. Deadwood over. Now I'll have no problem whatsoever cancelling HBO until next year.

Sopranos are done until 2007.
What? There's more? I thought this last season was...the last season.
I've never watched the show, but I hear things.

Deadwood is airing season 3 this summer, AFAIK.

There are eight more episodes left of "this season" which will air NEXT year. Pretty silly, mind you. But there it is. When Rome and the Sopranos return, I'll re-up for HBO. And hopefully get it at an introductory rate again.

We do this every season for HBO (Sopranos) and Showtime (The L Word).

What the crap? That's a hell of a fucking long midseason hiatus. And the episodes are already in the can, aren't they?

I dropped HBO and Showtime like hot potatoes when Dead Like Me and Carnivále were cancelled within a few months of each other.
Haven't really regretted the decisions, either.
