Yes, HBO became dead to me when Carnivale disappeared. People tell me I do need to see Deadwood one of these days.

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.

From what I hear it's a bunch of people in cowboy boots swearing and shooting at each other. If I want to see that, I can get it for free here.

I thought that, too. But, really, not the same. And it's killing my genre snob to say so, but she's a snotty bitch and I'd be better off without her anyway.

Deadwood is one of the best shows HBO - no, TV - has ever created, featuring a flat-out brilliant ensemble cast centered around the greatest anti-hero since Richard III. No hyperbole there, just simple statement of fact. Shakespeare invoked on purpose.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I love Richard III. Thanks for making me want to watch the show EVEN MORE. Geez.
I was skeptical of how great the HBO dramas were supposed to be, especially because none of them seemed like My Kind of Thing, and then I watched Oz.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Deadwood's really fantastic.

It's a fucking thing, you know. The head of our local vocational rehabilitation department is a Swearingen. Which actually explains a lot. I don't even know the guy, but I've been so tempted to call him a cocksucker and hang up, it's unbelievable. I wonder if I would be the first.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
This write-up on Salon about Deadwood is awesome.

Punishingly Intricate
Echoing all the Deadwood supporters in saying

does not even begin to describe Deadwood. Although there is a lot of swearing. There really aren't even any cowboys on the show, strictly speaking.

Also? Deadwood has Molly Parker.
Some day, when I have more time, I'll watch the rest of it. Sadly, Paul didn't take to it.
