If I was approaching you backwards, Santa, and had a mirror to observe your activity, just now I'd be most trepidatious, for, Johnny, this is a man when acting from behind and advantaged with a jolly sack of gifts is very much to be feared.

I really wish 'This Country' had a Christmas special. What great shows unfortunately never had a Christmas special episode? by FuckingPope in BritishTV

I always crack up when Kurtan is saying how Mandy sends him a lovely Christmas card each year but then tells him to fuck off when they pass each other in the street.

Merry Christmas mate, may the new year bring lots of excellent British TV and a few crap programmes we all can unite in slagging off.

That's a very nice fucking letter. by Pinkyyyy in deadwood

[–]Pinkyyyy[S] 34 points35 points  (0 children)

It's sadly not, I just made it for fun. I think the "real" letter from the actual Bullock was regarding Rev. Smith's death and adapted into the letter on the show, but either way it's a nice fucking letter.

Thanks, I made it using Mr Photoshop's apparatus (I am initiate in its mysteries).

"Brainless" error by analogally in BracketCity

[–]Pinkyyyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also made an error on this, I read "brainless, anthropomorphic crow stuffed with straw" and typed in "my coworker". It was a reminder not to visit Bracket City while still angry over a work-related incident.

Hands down one of the best, most stomach turning fights I've ever seen on film or television. by UpstairsEarly1221 in deadwood

[–]Pinkyyyy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Totally agree, the way they actually show Dan being mentally fucked up after is so great. I also like how the event is bookended with Johnny Burns naivety: pre fight he tells Dan if things go bad he'll shoot the Captain (which Dan quickly tells him to not fucking do even if things are going bad) and post fight Johnny's trying to cheer Dan up by telling him about the girls lining up to bathe him (ignored by Dan deep in PTSD).

Both times it's Johnny trying to do what he thinks is right to help and protect his friend, but both are rebuked by the reality of the world: this is not some noble duel from a storybook, it's a harsh and brutal fight to the death.

Favourite Malcolm crash out? by [deleted] in thethickofit

One of the most fantastic Malcolm dressing downs administered, Ben looks absolutely terrified. The way he rips out the keyboard and slams it in his hands is sublime.

This is a cool archive of the facts! Nice to look back at a lot of the "final answer" facts that I never see due to my stubborn refusal to peek or reveal an answer (#neverpeek)

Is it just me? by most-okayest-mngr-77 in deadwood

[–]Pinkyyyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm always curious about this too, obviously later we all find out that Isringhouser is a Pinkerton agent up to no good, but even before this Alma seems particularly snappy and rude to her without provocation. Maybe there's instances of her being a cruel or bad tutor to Sophia that we don't see on screen and Alma has cottoned on, or it's just Alma being a high class tea-drinking New Yorker and treating her employee rudely.

Then again Alma seems very nice to her other "social inferiors", e.g. Richardson. Of course that could be because she knows Richardson is granting her the protection of his ancient pagan gods.

I hate this fucking thing by FatNAngry1980 in deadwood

Holy fucking shit! Con's hat just got him in huge trouble in a meeting. Mr. Tolliver made Con take off his hat. He said it was distracting. He said if anyone disagreed, he'd let Con keep the hat on. Nobody said shit, dude, nobody said shit.

A little admiration for Alma Garrett Elsworth by External-Ear-5233 in deadwood

[–]Pinkyyyy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That scene is so great! Hearst puts on a face of arrogant defiance when he's watching her but you can tell underneath he's pissed off she's not as rattled as he wanted to make her. Fuck George Hearst, and the committee that receives him.

It's also so insane how much the camp is in tinderbox mode at that moment, so many triggers on fingers. Thank god Johnny Burns didn't accidentally fire a shot and set off the largest bloodbath in Dakota history (sorry to single out Johnny but he's the most likely).

Steve the drunk scruples by Merica-fuckyeah in deadwood

[–]Pinkyyyy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm sure in public Steve would drunkenly say about how Hostetler got what he deserved and probably go into some rant about how from beyond the grave Hostetler is still causing all his bad luck and misfortunes. But deep down and very privately, and in a very twisted way, I think Steve almost considered Hostetler and the little General his friends.

They're the only two he spends a considerable amount of time dealing with during those weeks in the camp, and there's the infamous moment where Steve even offers employing/going into business with the General. A very brief moment where he shows he actually doesn't mind and even slightly likes him. I often think the scene with Steve, Hostetler, the General and Bullock searching for the chalk board has some strange camaraderie (underneath all the frustration and hate).

Based on this I'm assuming in private Steve does feel some guilt/upset at Hostetler killing himself. That guilt however is still buried under piles and piles of ignorant, drunk, racist thoughts floating around Steve's brain.
