WWAWD Brad Dourif?

[guest]

Deadwood's Doc Cochran is one of the finest characters I've ever seen portrayed. He's never done any bad acting that I'm aware of. He doesn't get mentioned very much for the caliber of actor he is. IMO Brad Dourif > Daniel Day Lewis. He works 20x as much also. I love the guy and I hope he not a file trader.

Just starting out and he get's to fuck around with Jack Nicholson.

Actually every character in Deadwood is a little masterpiece. For acting it's my favorite series.

 

[Former Prez Gerald Ford]

Every actor they cast on that show was perfect except wooden-faced Timothy Olyphant whose emotional range starts with with angry/annoyed and ends with slightly constipated. Doc Cochran was great but was probably my third favorite character after Swedgin and the guy that was always saying nigger and tried to jizz on Hoffstetlers horse for da bit

Gets my ribs when he tells Trixie to "milk his prick' when Al is trying to pass his kidney stones. Agreed, he's a great character actor.

On the subject of Deadwood and underrated actors, got to mention Garrett Dillahunt. Plays One-eyed Jack McCall in season 1 and Francis Walcott in season 2, two completely different performances; the loser drunkard who stumbles into history as the man Buffalo Bill Cody "lets" murder him and as George Hurst's fastidious geologist, a man simultaneously awed and appalled by his own psychopathy and murderous rage. Great actor.

He played Piter De Vries. Nuff said.

Steve the drunk. A gentleman and scholar.

I actually just recently found that out about the Dillahunt thing when I rewatched the series and noticed his name reappearing with the rest of the cast in season 2. I love how Walcotts character arc ends with him plunging off the balcony in the background of a scene with a noose around his neck and then no one ever mentions him again.

The fight to the death between Dan and Hurst's bodyguard was fawkin brutal first time I saw it. No"fair" fighting bullshit. If I don't gouge your eye out and bash your brains in with a log, you're going to drown me in a puddle of mud.

Holy shit! All this time I never realized it was the same guy. I remember thinking at the time "Wow that guy looks a lot like Jack McCall." Fucking retarded, I am. But not a coward. Nor braggart.

Is that show worth watching

Well the capt finds him and presumably retrieves his suicide note which Hearst uses to clom on Tolliver in season 3. AUtIsM!

It’s good but kind of annoying how they talk like they’re in a shakesphere play sometimes

I thought the entire concept was Shakespearian vulgarity in the wild west.

 

[Dummy Gaynuts]

All in. Dude was awesome in Exorcist III and Wise Blood

 

[JoeBrotheChildSpitGuzzler]

Frequent collaborator with David Lynch. Says it all

Milch apparently made an effort to copy the syntax and vocabulary of the time, but changed the vulgarity from the blasphemous cursing of the time to the scatalogical/sexual swearing we use today, as the old timey stuff sounds silly to modern ears

Yeah, I said Shakespeare but it's more like Civil War era southern/western drawl. But that had a bit of Shakespeare in it as well being the most familiar plays at that time.

They should have kept the original period swearing, all the cursing in deadwood felt so affected and strange to me. That first episode is a hard watch IMO

 

[Turk February]

How has no one mentioned his absolutely legendary performance as Gemini in Exorcist 3?



"NO IM NOT, IM ALIVE! I GO ON! I BREATHE! LOOK AT MEEEEEEE!"

edit : sorry @Dummy Gaynuts , you did mention him

 

[Carl Winslow]

Just came here to say Exorcist 3. This might be the most underrated movie of all time.
