[quote=Austruck][quote=ynwtf]right there with you on all counts. I FORGOT there was a movie!!! I can't remember if I burned through them again before watching Deadwood (the movie) on release or not. But I am now and I'm excited to learn (again) that that closer isn't a closer anymore.

Cut the last 5 minutes from Carnivale and it's near perfect.[/quote]
YES on Carnivale! I said that at the time! Cut out that last weird five minutes and it would have at least felt like an ending with some closure!

And now I'm gonna have to do another Deadwood rewatch. It was definitely fun this last time to then watch the movie with its 10-years-later vibe. So glad they got the original cast back for that (except for Sofia, obviously).[/quote]

[quote=Torgo][quote=ynwtf]Can anyone confirm or deny if the same actor played Blasonov, the telegraph operator AND the hotel clerk that kept snubbing his nose at Joanie Stubbs when she rented from him?[/quote]Blasonov was played by Pasha D. Lychnikoff, who only played that part.  Not sure if it's the clerk you're talking about, but IMDB credits Zack Ward as the Hotel Desk Clerk, who is famous for playing Scut Farcus in A Christmas Story.[/quote]

[quote=Chypmunk]Sorry to read of your getting attacked with a pointed instrument earlier Yin, hopefully your shoulder will feel back to normal very soon.

At least you know your shoulder to leg connectivity is in perfect working order :up: Just as well you weren't getting both shoulders done though or you'd have not had a leg left to stand on :eek:[/quote]

[quote=John McClane]I love how my car's assessed value has gone up the last two years. I'm convinced they just trying to get more property tax than they deserve.[/quote]

[quote=ynwtf]Deadwood is a near perfect cast, I think. I did not care for the silliness of Commissioner Hugo Jarry as a character. Casting was probably fine, but as funny as he was I thought he was too high contrast with the rest of the show. Merrick did it better and more efficiently. From  technical and fan support perspectives, I liked that they were able to cast Garet Dillahunt twice for Wollcot and McCall, but from an immersive angle, that kind of threw me off slightly on first viewing given we never saw McCall's final demise. That's my ignorance, but I did stumble.

Oh, and that abrupt ending. That sucked, but luckily there's a movie follow-up now to properly ease out through.[/quote]

[quote=ynwtf]I had a steroid shot in my shoulder this morning. That was an interesting sensation. I don't like needles at all and warned the doc in a joking manner that I'll try not to freak out on him. He numbed the area then punctured my skin just to the side and behind my shoulder joint. I could feel the needle (and/or solution) prodding around. It was a dull pain similar to the feeling you get if you wedge your thumb tip into the inner soft flesh of your jaw bone. Right around where your glands might swell with a sinus infection. I was narrating the experience for him. I thought he needed it. I certainly did. "Oh, I feel that. Wow. that's an interesting sensation. OOOOh there it is again.... this is strange." At one point, I noticed my right foot rising as a dog might lift its one left while you scratch behind its ear. I would hope this is not the same sensation the dog feels. Anyway (Bullock reference!), my foot slowly lifted to about knee level when the doc asked, "Are you ok?" "Oh yes," I replied wedging in a Saul Star reference that I didn't realize until just now, "I am fine. Just observing this feeling."

As he left my room, he stopped before the door closed behind him, turned back to me and then asked with a confused look, "Are you ok?" I guess he thought I might pass out.

Nice guy. But my arm is crazy aching right now and I'm having a hard time manipulating my work mouse. Typing is rough too, but at least the shoulder is more stationary.[/quote]
