Did you ever watch Deadwood? That's the first thing I'd seen him in and I loved that show.
More recently, I've seen him in a few episodes of The Santa Clarita Diet, a comedy with Drew Berrymore. He's a lot better at comedy than he was playing a bad guy.
The first thing I would have seen him in was Steven King's Dreamcatcher, but it was only years later that I found out he was in it because at the time he was the only actor in the film I'd not already known. He didn't have a small roll in it either, but I just forgot he was in it until long after Deadwood was finished.
Justified and Deadwood were perfect roles for him though.

No, never saw "Deadwood". Didn't know he was in that. Only actor from the clips I recognized was Ian McShane, British guy and a good actor. I used to love "Lovejoy" which was a series he did back in England in the 1990s.
I haven't seen "Santa Clarita Diet", thought it sounded okay. Keep meaning to see if I can find it on YouTube. Some of these things don't make it on to DVD, so my library doesn't get them.

All things done for today. I will be so glad when they are finished repairing the elevator that goes down to the parking lot where the garbage and recycling is.

Yeah, I know. I think I've seen it a couple of times over the years. I've seen all of them but the best are the first and the 3rd which has Graham Greene in it. Tried watching the last one and it sucked.
I only saw the 4th one after that and didn't care for it at all. I don't know how many there were after the 4th one, but I never saw any of them.
Those last 2 had little Lucy grow up to be Mary Elizabeth Winstead.
Were the last two Box Office releases or straight to RedBox like most of Bruce's stuff these days?
I watched each one in cinema, as original release. I like that even tho MEW had become more in demand, she still reprised her role as Lucy.

Have you thought of salt for the ice? I've heard there's some sort of urea formula that doesn't burn your grass.
Salt is for old people, or those too lazy.
Not sure how many recent days 6ix has had above 20F. I have not seen many.

Yeah. When he did Justified, I think he just brought the same character over from Deadwood and modernized him a bit. No complaints from me since I loved both shows.
Ian McShane was arguably the most dynamic character on the show with the largest arc of growth. I loved his character by the end of the run. I believe it's the final season where an episode completely surrounding an issue he's got is one of the most intense things I remember ever seeing in a TV show. Phenominal actor, although the only other thing I've ever seen him in was the terrible remake of Death Race in 2008. (He's the only thing I even remember about it).
I would HIGHLY recommend Deadwood to you considering the cast, but that comes with a warning too. It ain't PC, like at all. And most of the characters of Deadwood outside of Timothy and the Doctor use cuss words as punctuation marks. YouTube probably took it down by now, but I remember a 5 minute long video where somebody took every single instance of the word C*%#sucker and just played them all one after the other without any repeats.

I think you'd like it. It is one of the few shows my old man and step-mom can watch together. He showed me a few episodes while we were visiting my brother on several occasions, but I watch so little these days and it didn't totally grab my attention enough to make me watch the whole thing. I didn't find anything objectionable or bad about it though. I'm sure if I were dating somebody who wanted to watch it with me I wouldn't mind.

Since I know that Deadwood is set in the old west, I don't expect PC. And cussing in a show like that wouldn't bother me. I might hit my library on Monday. I know I have seen the DVDs there.
I'm not sure if I have seen the remake of "Death Race 2000". Know I saw the original one with David Carradine. Might look the remake up for a giggle.
I'm always looking for something new to watch

You'll have to let me know what you think.
Deadwood's a show that should have gotten one more season, or a movie RIGHT after it was done like they said they were going to do. They finally made that movie 10 years later. I still haven't watched it, because I intend to rewatch the show before seeing it.
They did a fine enough job wrapping it up. It wasn't a cliffhanger ending like Sarah Connor Chronicles, but it did leave you wanting for more.
Hopefully the movie is good.
Deathrace 2008 definitely has a higher production budget and luster to it than the Carradine version does, but it's just another of a long line of remakes that didn't need to be made.
The original one, IMO, wasn't that great either though, so I felt that it was kind of a missed opportunity. I'm not against remaking movies that weren't great in the first place, but they could have done a better job than they did.
If they never remade The Thing in the 80's, we'd never have the awesome Kurt Russell version.

I know people thought that Deadwood got the shaft.
Well, the Carradine version was done in the 70s and a lot of cheesy movies from that time came out.
I know what you mean about remakes of movies. Somethings should be left alone.
Love Kurt Russell but The Thing didn't do anything for me. Now Escape from New York that I liked.

Yeah. I've never seen the original (From the 50's? 60?'s), although I do intend to watch it one day.
I saw the MEW version. It was awful, but that's what happens when you try to ape off of lightning in a bottle for a quick profit. Some things like Death Race SHOULD get a proper remake every few decades or so until they get it right. The Thing was already about as close to perfection that a movie should get and shouldn't be remade.
I realize that it wasn't a remake per se, but I don't care if you shifted the timeline a bit, it's still a remake of the movie if you're doing the same damn thing the whole way through.
I'd love to see the original version of the MEW remake though. They actually DID do all practical effects like the Kurt version, but some dipshit Hollywood execs stepped in and said "Where's the CGI? The kids love CGI!!!" and then the movie went over budget putting cartoonish effects over all the expensive practical effects and the CGI they used was already outdated before the movie even began production. That's the turd we all saw.
Do you know if they ever got around to a director's cut with that CGI trash taken out of it? It might actually be a decent movie under there.
ETA: On the subject of director's cuts, another movie I wanted to watch as the director wanted it is The Mist. It was supposed to be black and white, but the Hollywood Execs stepped in and changed that too. As far as I know, there's no other differences between the two versions, but the change to black and white is really supposed to add a lot to it. Especially with the environment and shadows.
