KWalrad Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Looks like it debuts on HBO tonight. Anyone (besides me) planning on watching it? Not sure what to expect, it's been quite a few years since they left off. Cross your fingers for a great finale. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Eric Posted June 1, 2019 Administrators Share Posted June 1, 2019 It was good being back in Deadwood, but the movie disappointed me. It was cool seeing everyone again though and seeing how the place had grown. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll ask my mom if it's okay. I haven't made it all of the way through it yet, but my initial thoughts are that it's cool to see the characters once again. Some of them are looking really old. Timothy Oliphant still looks like he needs someone to buy him a burger. Dang that dude is scrawny. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved it and found it a fitting tribute to the show and characters! Spoilers: Spoiler To each his own. I thought it just plodded through, without ever reaching a climax and it felt disjointed to me. Like I said, it was good seeing the characters again, but that is all the movie did for me. Notice too how they managed to bring the Calamity Jane lesbian angle to the forefront? Thank you HBO. Do they really have to work that **** into every show they do? I would have thought better of the movie if it had delivered any plot twists worthy of the original series. Personally, I think it would have been great if Swearengen, knowing he is dying anyway, had managed to park a bullet in Hearst. Or more fittingly, a knife. One last noble deed in a largely ignoble life. I know he was sick, but he could have had one last burst of energy and done everyone a favor. Anyway, I hoped for better. I still enjoyed watching it well enough though. It was like a visit with old friends. Those can be enjoyable, even when they are a little boring. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since most of the characters were historical figures I guess the producers felt some obligation not to randomly kill nor promote them. I must say, though, that I was hoping/expecting Swearengen to do as you proposed. I also agree with you that the highlighting of the lesbian angle was typically (lately) over the top. Enough, already. I just discovered that Hearst was the father of William Randolph Hearst. Who knew?!? haha 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KWalrad Posted June 2, 2019 Author Share Posted June 2, 2019 After finally making it all of the way through, I have to say that Eric pretty much hit the nail on the head in his spoilers. Color me disappointed. Almost like they were leaving themselves open to yet another episode in order to put a final bow on everything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NPTim Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 I enjoyed it, but left a little unfulfilled. I was hoping Al would whack Hearst. Of course I knew this would fly in the face of history, but I was still hoping. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, Tarantino would wave his private parts in the general direction of historical accuracy and then given us an utterly barbaric, thoroughly satisfying ending. I remember the first time I watched Inglorious Basterds. Near the end, I kept waiting for the American plot to fall apart and then as they opened up on Hitler, I smacked myself in the forehead and reminded myself that it was a Tarantino movie. Then I sat back and enjoyed the carnage. I also thoroughly enjoyed David Bowie’s Putting Out Fire With Gasoline as a musical choice for a WWII movie. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the 1880s on the American frontier. Those would not have been choices open to him. Anyway, I don’t think anyone could replace the actors playing the doc or the mayor, especially the doc. He played the hell out of that role. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valmet Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 I haven’t seen it yet but it is certainly on my list. I loved the original series and am always cautious whenever anything is “rebooted,” but it looks like the full cast is back (sans Cy, R.I.P. Mr Booth).
