what Western films should I investigate with the new interest from Deadwood?
You're talking to Serenity. And, Early... Serenity is very unhappy.
River ,'Objects In Space'
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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Not why should I watch it, but why do you, personally, want me to watch it?
Well, I was mostly joking because, like you said, I'm sure we've had this conversation before, but I like sharing the things I love with my friends. But you don't have to watch it if you're not interested.

For all you Deadwood fans (never seen it myself), the origin of the word hooplehead. I got to thinking about old comics and a Major Hoople from "Our Boarding House" and I wondered if there was a connection.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.
As a set/costume/prop geek, Titanic was amazing for me to watch (up until people started drowning). A friend gave me the "Making Of Titanic" book, which is verra pretty.
Yep, this. Which is why we actually own the DVD. I have been known to have it playing as background eye candy, which promptly gets turned off when the iceberg happens.

Which makes me wonder, has there ever been someone Al's been dismissive about by the name of "Mott"? 'Cause there really oughta be.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Since this is slowly evolving into the Movies+Westerns thread, may I interrupt to say that I can't believe Hec went and got me hooked on Lonesome Dove? He's off writing and I'm watching it alone, 20 minutes into the fourth episode and getting more and more wrought up. It's all literate and heartfelt and horribly dark and full of Reavers and Larry McMurtry is showing a positively Jossian propensity for killing off absolutely anyone, anyone at all, if they happen to be in just the wrong (or right) place when the narrative calls for it. Hec wanted me to turn it off and watch something else or nap until he gets home, but I don't think I can stop. If Deadwood is even darker and deathier than this, I don't think I could bear it.
