"Deadwood"

[Junior1942]

I just finished watching the last of the "Deadwood" series via Netflix. I can't believe HBO ended it like chopping it short with an axe, like BOOM it's over and left us waiting for more. Did you guys like it as much as I did?

The f-word was used to excess, but I believe it would have been used that much. I found the entire 12 episodes fascinating and believable. But I'm a fellow who's been in many cathouses both as a customer and as an observer, so I know that reality when I see it.

Did they charge you less money to observe? You never fail to surprise me. You'd make an interesting book, like "My Life and Loves' by Frank Harris. Did you know a very good movie,"Cowboy", starring Glenn Ford and Jack Lemmon, was taken from Frank Harris's autobiography? He was a man for all seasons, much like yourself.

Scrounger, I guess I've always been a cultural anthropologist even way back when I'd never even heard the term. A cathouse with a bar, like the ones in "Deadwood," is a FUN place to visit.

i really liked that series
imagine how i felt when i waited a week to see it.
then figured it would finish the next week okay maybe next week?

I couldn't get into it.

My sister in law lent us the dvd set, and I tried to sit through the first episode, and got tired of the swearing.

Considering that I am working with a bunch of guys that can swear a streak (military, not a lot of women around), and have been known to use that language (a lot!). To say that the swearing got on my nerves, was a bit of a surprise to me, but more so to my wife, who is constantly on me for my language.

Maybe I'll try the series again. Maybe not.

Cheers

Junior, did you ever meet a type of female who looked and acted like Calamity Jane...in one of those places like Big Al's nookie parlor. Shudder!

That was some terrific acting on her part.

I was hoping that R. Hearst bastardo would get his, but he skipped town on the Deadwood stage...but not before Al's bar house muscle killed Hearst bully hit man.
