I don't know what a better actor would have done with Shaun's role.
Not sounding like he was reading (slowly) off of cue-cards would have been a big help.
Everybody plays each other. That's all anybody ever does. We play parts.

I guess if I can't see/hear it, I just can't.

Okay, so maybe no Deadwood movies after all:
HBO and David Milch are prepping what could be the scribe's next project, and it's a return to familiar territory: the realm of New York City cops.
Sources said the creator will develop the project about a Vietnam veteran who returns to the U.S. in the early 1970s and joins the New York City police force. Story is loosely based on the experience of longtime Milch collaborator and fellow "NYPD Blue" exec producer Bill Clark, who is developing the show with Milch.
Full story here.

Sounds awesome. In a different way than Deadwood, though. And I know all y'all don't share my mad procedural love, for which I'm a contrite partial dirt-worshipper.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
If this happens, it sounds really Milch-y. And if it means no Deadwood movies... no more Deadwood sucks, but I have a deep and abiding distrust of reunion specials. coughSerenitycough

Hm. Much as I love procedurals in general, I never liked NYPD Blue. And the 70s is not a period I'm dying to see onscreen. But I'll probably watch it.

I'll definitely watch. The 70s in the NYPD is a very interesting time period. (I keep waiting for my stepdad to finish writing his book so I can turn it into a teevee show.) I just hope I like it more than JFC.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Hey, Flight of the Conchords was renewed! My love for that show has grown and grown to an unhealthy obsession of watching at least an episode a night. But I am thinking writing another season's worth of songs means the show will be on a Sopranos-esque torture schedule of reappearances, i.e., every 24 months or something like that.

Oh yay!! You're probably right about the schedule, though. Maybe they haven't used up their entire catlog of songs this go around.
