Corwood, I did, in fact, enjoy McCabe and Mrs. Miller and definitely see its influence over Deadwood. I was surprised to find myself enjoying Beatty less than McShane, being as how he is a legend and all. Unless he is more legendary for his...off-camera skills. But that McShane Swearingen performance is pretty amazing, of course.
I know, world in peril and we have to work together. This is my last office romance, I'll tell you that.

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.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Also, poor McCabe is pretty, well, dim. Mrs. Miller is more the Swearingen in that outfit. I always like the snarky better than the merely attractive.

Art Crawl!!!
Andre Braugher will be in the next Fantastic Four movie.
BTW, that piece has a casting spoiler for a NBC show. ( er, it would have been nice to see Andre Braugher in er -- but Forest Whitaker will be okay too. )

Heh, I was about to chime in that I thought McCabe was pretty much a hooplehead who got lucky for a spell.

True... he is kind of a...hayseed for a whoremonger "poetry" or not.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Excellent news! I fully agree with Robin and Frank about McCabe's hoopleness. I don't think Deadwood has an analogous character who similarly less smart than he thinks he is, except maybe E.B. And McCabe, for his faults, is no E.B.

Nuh uh. He would, at least, wipe the spit off his face.

McCabe toadies to no man! Which, as it turns out, is his problem.
