Well...not quite. There will be two, two hour HBO movies next year, I
guess, though I haven't heard any details when.

David was working on the script for JOHN FROM CINCINNATI before we ever even
shot the pilot to DEADWOOD. And if your description is correct (it isn't,
btw), why was David so furious when HBO cancelled DEADWOOD? Why did he
spend weeks trying to raise a supplemental production budget from outside
sources in order to do a fourth season?
And calling JOHN FROM CINCINNATI "some program about a surfer" is sort of
like calling IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE "some movie about a banker." Especially
when you haven't seen it. ;-)

I'm interested Jim...can you tell us a bit about the project? When will we
get to see it? Are you going to make any appearances in it? Feel free to
enlighten us, but the only descriptions I've read are along the same
lines..."a surfer from the midwest"...may not be fair, but whose fault is
that? I am looking forward to checking out any Milch production as a fan of
his stuff. Even if it is about a landlocked surfer...<g>

I'm actually going to be part of the show, as is Dayton Callie (Charlie
Utter). I've recently finished the pilot.
It's a difficult show to describe, certainly more difficult than Deadwood.
It's dark but funny, with Milch's customary flair for language and intricate
dialog. It concerns, in part, a dysfunctional family of professional
surfers, the Yost family, and their circle of acquaintances. Some of them
(acquaintances AND family members) are involved in drug dealing, smuggling
illegal aliens, shady real estate deals, but there's nice folks as well.
The catalyst in the story is an innocent young man named John who shows up
out of nowhere and seems like a completely blank slate, picking up traits
and personal history from what he hears and sees around him, i.e., he's
"John from Cincinnati" because he heard someone say that name and place.
He's sort of a human lint roller, whatever he rolls past sticks to him. And
he has an angelic quality, but that may be simply because he doesn't have
any apparent history. But when he shows up, strange things begin to happen.
Very strange things.
I play a slightly twisted veteran named Vietnam Joe, who helps smuggle
Mexican immigrants across the border. He's a little like Ellsworth, but
with a nastier edge.
Where it's going, I don't know. Since it's not a genre piece (even a
reexamination of a genre, like Deadwood), it's not easily evaluated before
the fact. But though there's a good deal of surfing in it, it's about eight
zillion Milch-years away from Gidget.

Joining this conversation late (first day in this newsgroup), how many
seasons then does that make? Three?

*movies*. At least that's the last plan I heard. Holding out hope for
more. I heard the Soprano's are doing an extra episode or two because they
couldn't fit everything into their final productions. Perhaps the
cocksuckers (a little newsgroup attitude there) :) could give Milch & Co.
the same leeway...

Yup. Three GREAT seasons of Deadwood. Go buy the DVDs. They are the best DVD
purchases you can possibly make.

FWIW, I'm not holding my breath waiting for those two 2 hour shows. Was
a great show. Deserved better treatment in the end. R.I.P.

So you won't be watching?

Let me say it a different way. I don't expect there will be anything
else to watch. It's over. Done. If I'm wrong, terrific, and yes I'll
watch. Don't see it happening.

of a resurrection, but it was a damned good run. Nothing lasts forever and
at least we didn't have to watch while it went to life-support as a network
cash cow like the Sopranos.

I stand corrected.
Still pissed, though, even after all this time that we didn't get that 4th
season of DW....(at least you've gotten to do some kickass work on SPN!).
