Deadwood - The MovieIt isn't the additional seasons of the show I wish we could have had, but considering the passage of time and the enormous challenges of just getting the thing made, it's pretty much everything a hooplehead cocksucker or loopy cunt could hope for.
It got me right in the feels.

So much to talk about, I don't know where to begin. I think my favorite surprise character moment, odd as this is, might be when E.B. warned Bullock about Hearst's plan to kill Samuel Fields in custody. I always hoped E.B. might somehow make good on his season 3 threat (that he said to himself) to "fuck Hearst up"'. Hearst getting the absolute shit beaten out of him in the street felt really good (to me, the viewer, not to Hearst).
More later, probably, after I ponder it some more, and maybe watch it again a time or two.

Those goddamn motherfucking cocksucking hoopleheads made me cry. A lot. I was not expecting that for either Charlie or Al, and I definitely wasn't expecting my reaction to Al. Thanks for ruining Waltzing Matilda, Milch.
I was unreasonably gleeful at Wu's grandson, and I don't know why. I was just tickled to see that little dude trailing Wu around and staring Al in the face like it was no big deal. I already really liked that Wu clearly has gotten to where he understands English perfectly well, but either doesn't speak it or doesn't care to. A nice realistic beat.
Alma taking up the bidding on Charlie's land is why I love her so much ugh you don't even know. I would like to have seen more of Sophia's reaction to the town, though, see what childhood memories leaked through. Or at least her and Alma visiting Elsworth's grave.
MIDWIFE AUNT LOU I love her too. Her and Richardson's friendship was one of my favourite things and man I do miss Richardson.
I'm sure I'll get more coherent later.

Just a quick note: I think I saw/heard Garret Dillahunt in the mob, wearing a big bushy beard. Am I wrong?

"“A lot of people did come back... Fucking Larry Cedar was out there today, playing background. [Garret] Dillahunt snuck in,” Olyphant says, referring to Deadwood’s Leon and Dillahunt’s double casting as both season 1's piece of shit, Jack McCall, and season 2's even bigger piece of shit, Francis Wolcott.
While two out of these three characters died during the show, Olyphant tells Seitz that Cedar showed up as an apparently unnamed extra and Dillahunt returned for a third time to play the no-doubt illustrious character of “Drunk Number Two” for the movie."
I missed Leon though ...

I missed Blasanov! Although he'll be out of a job pretty soon, I guess. |

He used to pop up on the old usenet group Alt.TV.Deadwood occasionally, and was always very personable, and provided the group with inside information and insight about the show. He even once posted a redacted copy of his driver's license to prove it was really him. He seems like a great guy as well as a fine actor. |

The condensed nature and the passage of time noted between the events of series and those of the movie was important not only for its effects on the main characters, but also in notable developments in some secondary characters. The superb way they worked several minor characters in, with what could have been clumsy and obvious fan service, instead made me ache for those missing seasons.
For example, I want to observe the spiritual journey Con Stapleton underwent to wind up a minister. In my mind, it probably had to do with some influences from his old acquaintance Andy Cramed, but we will forever wonder.

Watching this immediately after watching an episode of The Santa Clarita Diet was a trip. Olyphant is so damn great. Loved it all, wish it was more than a one time event.
The fact that Milch is currently suffering from early stages of Alzheimers made it even more poignant
