Did anbody tune into the first episode of HBO's Deadwood last night (which followed, imo, the latest in this VERY slow moving season of The Sopranos)?
Deadwood, in less than one hour, just has to have set the record for the most foul language ever on television...I'm not complaining, I thought it was very funny, especially in light of what is happening to Howard Stern and radio standards in genreal (thanks, Janet Jackson). Last week, a NPR (National Public Radio) reviewer consulted a western historian on the use of some of "current' curse words, and if they were used in Deadwood, circa 1865...especially the "CS" word (used surprisingly repeatedly)...turns out, many are historically inaccurate in the extreme, but still very effective (and somehow funny).
It's to early for me to venture an opinion on Deadwood, but I did enjoy this first episode...violent in the extreme, and laced with black humor worthy of the Coen brothers.
Any opinions? I know this isn't technically a film/dvd, but it will be, I'm sure, a dvd one day...sorry if off-topic/subject.
Regards,
Gary
