Oh man, the Deadwood white font is KILLING me. Must get this season somehow.
Pretty cool except for the part where I was really terrified and now my knees are all dizzy.

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.

I stopped reading up on the real history of Deadwood because I don't want to be spoiled for the end of the series!
Speaking of I'm pretty sure Joanie talking about how the kids needed to know what happened to the man who built the house around the tree because they would want to have the whole story was a dig at HBO.

I think possibly Alec Baldwin has all of the body hair in Hollywood. Oh, and Robin Williams. There's none left for anyone else!
I watched Roger Rabbit over the weekend--add Bob Hoskins to that list (he has a ton of back hair, too!).

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
And, of course, Steve Carrell....

Oh yeah. It was also an eloquent defense of what seems to be a major theme for Milch this season: the ability of art - theater and words (such as in Bullock's letter) - to lift every person out of the muck of their lives and become better people and a real community. Not white-fonted because that's no spoiler.

Cool. And Swearingen bitched about the entertainments but in the end, he'd thought about what he would do. He had a good voice, considering.

I thought the song to moose was showstopping, myself.

Deadwood: Al's song at teh edn was interesting. He said early on that he'd never been to one of John's performances. DH noticed that none of the power players were at Amateur Night: Bullock, Swearingen, Hearst and Tolliver were all tucked away alone in their lairs.
E.B. making Richardson stop juggling was such a bummer.

More Deadwood: Alma wasn't there, either. Amateur Night was really about the non-power players and hooples. Did Erika mention the board-balancer earlier? He'd been popping up in quite a few scenes, and I half-expected a scuffle between him and Al when he went into the empty Gem. Instead, Al just throws him out and goes back to drinking alone and singing his little song. (an early version of "Streets of Laredo" according to some of my sources). Also, I loved Langrishe telling Farnum that envy was the vilest of the deadly sins when he grabbed Richardson.

Yeah, I thought that was interesting too. Why is Richardson so weird? Do we ever find out? Although it's true...Farnum does use him to feel better about himself.
