Potential good news for Deadwood fans related to John From Cincinnati

[Jaimoe]

I really liked John From Cincinnati, so it's a little bittersweet that the premature ending of that crazy "Deadwood on a surfboard" show could force HBO to finish David Milch's other program (and one of the best motherfucking, cocksucking shows ever): Deadwood.

HBO is getting roasted by subscribers and critics for the cancellation of many quality shows recently, including Six Feet Under, Deadwood and John From Cincinnati. All this means is that the odds of making two fucking Deadwood movies more likely than it was last year. Someone sober-up Calamity Jane. I can't wait.

I just finished downloading all of Deadwood after hearing you guys rave about it. Gotta start watching them soon.

Anyone else want a copy?

KK, get ready for a different styling of the English language than you are used to. One really has to push through a few episodes to figure it all out. Heck, we are on Season 3 and I might be more lost than ever!

Great fucking show.

Al Swearengen: God rest the souls of that poor family... and pussy's half price for the next 15 minutes.

[Davey Boy 2.0]

Al Swearengen: You want a blow job while I talk to you?

Judge: No.

Al Swearengen: I wasn't offering personally.

Wu, the "Chinaman" as Al calls him (as does everyone else in the Deadwood camp) knows only these words:

"Swidgen" - which is his name for Al Swearengen

"Cocksucker"

"San Francisco cocksucker"

Calamity Jane:

"I woke up in a cemetary".

[Davey Boy 2.0]

Calamity Jane: Maybe I will have a fuckin' drink, for sociability's sake and 'cause I'm a fuckin' drunk.

Joanie Stubbs: What's your preference?

Calamity Jane: That it ain't been previously swallowed.

One of the best things about Deadwood is that most of the characters are based on the people that resided in Deadwood at the time. Calamity Jane was a famous resident and Al Swearengen did indeed own a saloon and was even more ruthless in real life. George Hearst (William Randolph's father and Patty's great-grandfather also did prospecting there). Gerald McRaney makes one hell of a Hearst. Seth Bullock was from Etobicoke and was the sheriff and was friends with Sol. Wild Bill Hickock, Morgan and Wyatt Earp were all actual residents of Deadwood. Even the weasel hotel manager EB Farnum actually worked in Deadwood. The language is accurate for the times too - which makes for an often difficult night of TV - but some of the cuss words have been updated. Creator David Milch had to use substitutes since the Old West swear words don't have the same impact in the 21st century.

Anyone else want a copy?

I do! I caught one episode once and loved it.

FACK I loved this show... I just started watching season 1 again a week ago... finished season 2 a couple of days ago... AWESOME!

Al: "They are afloat in a fairy bubble. Him, Her snatch and his stupid fucking badge."

I think either History or Showcase is carrying the complete series in September, unedited. Keep in mind each episode ran around 50 minutes with some episodes well over an hour - all without commercial breaks, thus watching the show with commercials on History could be frustrating since the breaks will be easily 4 minutes long or longer depending if they want packaged episodes to run 90 minutes.

And I think that anyone that liked Deadwood will probably have a lot of fun with John From Cincinnati. Half the cast are Deadwood alums including Charlie Utter, Morgan Earp, Trixie, that Yankton fucker, Ellesworth, Wu, Wolcott and some others.
