I really hope it’s building up to something soon. I love Deadwood from David Milch and I even enjoyed John from Cincinnati, as strange and confusing as that was. LUCK however isn’t grabbing me the way I had hoped.
The cast is amazing but the show just isn’t as entertaining as his other works. Deadwood was intense and hilarious at the same time. LUCK just feels uncomfortable as you watch it. His shows can take an entire season to get going so I’m going to stick with it and see how it goes.
Watching the new David Milch show LUCK!
I totally missed it last night. I’ll have to catch it today. If David Milch is involved I have to watch it!
If you know who David Milch is… This should look amazing to you! I CANT WAIT!
My very favorite David Milch quote came from that day. He was talking to Powers about playing a scene from the pilot where Swearengen is about to kill Trixie, and he was trying to get something going in the eye-contact communication between the two characters, and he said, I swear, “You know when you strangle a dog….” And he proceeded to talk about the look in the dog’s eyes of supplication and terror, yet also love, and how that’s what Swearengen should be seeing in Trixie’s eyes. And he went on, but I think everyone on the set was still stuck back there at “You know when you strangle a dog?” I think it was the matter-of-fact “You know”, the acknowledgment of shared experience, that kind of arrested our attention. Great moment, one I have no doubt was manufactured just for the effect it had.
Deadwood, NYPD Blue Producer to Work on Heavy Rain Movie Adaptation
David Milch, whose credits include some of my personal television favorites like Deadwood, NYPD Blue and Hill Street Blues, will be adapting Playstation 3 exclusive Heavy Rain into a feature film with Warner Bros., Variety reports.
Milch will be working with Bob Shaye and Michael Lynne to turn Heavy Rain the movie into Rain the movie once he’s finished the first season of HBO’s Luck.
“David Milch’s incredible ability to transform intense and complex storylines into gripping, popular drama makes him the perfect partner for us to have on ‘Heavy Rain,’ ” Shaye told Variety.
I’M POSTING THIS BECAUSE I’M A HHHUUUGGGEEEE FAN OF DEADWOOD, WHICH DAVID MILCH CREATED. SO I’LL CHECK THIS OUT EVEN THOUGH I HAVEN’T PLAYED THE GAME.
Got John from Cincinnati on DVD from my girlfriend. I think Im going to start it back up again. Loved it when I saw it on HBO. I think Im gonna go back and watch with creator David Milch’s commentary.
Where do I go from here? Do I just shut down the Tumblr before it’s hardly even begun? How can I top this? David Milch, the insane genius creator of HBO’s Deadwood and John From Cincinnati (give it a second chance), spoke to The House Next Door in 2006 about Altman, and, more specifically, …
