Not the current season, I don't think.

You might remember him from his turns as Deadwood scene-stealers Jack McCall and Francis Wolcott. He's a genius, needless to say, and as funny in Raising Hope as he was riveting and disturbing in Deadwood.

Anyways, so this week's episode of Raising Hope has a bit where Dillahunt's character gets a colonoscopy. He gets full anesthesia for the procedure and when he wakes up he goes "Well that's one in a row for you, Wild Bill" doing the voice and everything!! He even had one drooped eye like the hood on a cunt!!!!!! God it was so great. I screamed like a bobby soxer.

You can watch the whole episode here but it requires you to sign in via your cable company or something weird like that. I couldn't even get it to load because Fox sucks.

I watched it last night. I might have missed it completely if I hadn't been made aware of it. Thanks.

The most recent episode had some dialogue that was obviously "Shakespearean", this is hard for me to notice as I was never good at Shakespeare. But, the exchange between hooplehead Steve and the shit-stirrer at Nutall's was very very Shakespearean. The use of language, the timing of the actors and some of the phrasing.

I'm not sure if this is good or bad. On the one hand, if you're gonna imitate someone, it might as well be Shakespeare. On the other hand, if it's so obvious that it pulls me out of the show for a little while to notice, then maybe you're overdoing it.

What do you all think?

I have a free one month trial of Amazon Prime, so what am I doing with it? Deadwood S1:E1 to rewatch it for the first time in quite a few years. I had forgotten that one of my favorite comedic actors right now, Timothy Omundson, played the ill-fated city-slicker Brom Garret, husband of the Bullock-wooed Alma.

I knew I'd seen him before. He was recently on Supernatural playing Cain:

RIP Richardson.

[Dingfod]

Get ready, hoopleheads, HBO confirms a Deadwood movie is in the works, and most of the original cast will be in it.

[BrotherMan]

[Dingfod]

I guess Richardson will not be able to be there. Maybe they can bring back Ellsworth from the dead. I was so mad when that motherfucking Hearst man killed him to death, or was so implied.

[livius drusus]

It was explicitly stated that Ellsworth was killed. His body was on the cart and everything.

As for the movie, I'm glad, of course, but I still think it should be a full fourth season. HBO has a lot to goddamn apologize for. Like Garret Dillahunt said, they make a fucking Entourage movie while Deadwood spends a decade swinging in the breeze? Assholes.

[Dingfod]

Ian McShane would fucking love to be in a Deadwood movie, says he has word that Milch is working on a script for just that.

[Dingfod]

Deadwood, the game.
