Haven't seen Deadwood yet
Good episode, and it was written by W. Earl Brown.
Lydia: Its removal from Burma is a felony and when triggered it has the power to melt human eyeballs.
Giles: In that case I've severely underpriced it.

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.

Now tagless for your comfort.
This may be a stupid question, but why is Deadwood discussed here instead of Boxed Set? (Just curious, not complaining or anything.)

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Cashmere, I have been wondering the same thing for weeks. I think maybe because discussion of the show keeps coming up in the context of Westerns, so it's just remained here.

Mainly because there's a disclaimer on Boxed Set that it is not a general TV thread but a sci-fi/fantasy/horror thread, and the DEADWOOD posts were getting lost in natter for some who don't keep up there.
eta At least that's why I've been posting about it here. Plus what Polter said - it's come up a few times independent of new episodes due to discussion of westerns.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Gene Wilder as Willy Wonka freaked me out as a kid. Still does. There was this underlying menace that scared me.

Dude. That menace is totally overlying.
When I watched the movie again in college, I saw it for what it was, which is a slasher movie.
I've been afraid to check out the remake because I love the original so much.

Thank you. I haven't actually seen it in years. Decades even. See above re: freaked out.

Oh. Makes sense.

He's gone on records saying he did that deliberately - that he wanted the audience to wonder what he was really up to, that you weren't sure what he was capable of, and that anything might happen once they were in the factory.

He's totally grabbing children and admonishing them sternly and lacing his every comment with malevolent subtext and not caring in the slightest when children are in peril simply because they brought it on themselves. I love his apathetic "No, stop, don't."
