Brenda: No worries. I've watched a good number of things that I've managed to figure out and that just bores the stuffing out of me. TV shows and movies. That's when they are on DVD I scroll to the end just to confirm what I thought.

Brenda: Not sure if I've seen Mullholland Drive. I'm not big on on David Lynch's word. Think I saw Blue Velvet but didn't care for it. I did see the first Dune movie that was directed by David Lynch and I loved it. It was actually taken from the books more than the tv mini-series were as they had the worlds and their technologies reversed. And this last set is so-so.

Brenda: I thought Saturn was. Okay. Good for you on doing that. I have a habit on taking a film on face value even if I read the summary given on the cover. I might the odd time read the reviews but that is very rare.

6ixStringJack: I just had to laugh after the end credits came up and I'm like "I gotta hear Brenda's take, because I don't know what the hell I just watched". So I was a little disappointed when I heard you figured it out halfway through and fast forwarded through the rest.

6ixStringJack: It wasn't until around 20 years after I saw Mullholland Drive that I saw somebody give what I felt was the actual story that took place in that movie. I'd watched that probably 10 times over the years and never figured it out. One time I thought I did, but when I watched it again I realized it wasn't quite right, which in David Lynch's world meant that I wasn't even close.

6ixStringJack: Saturn is Sci-Fi. Never heard of any of the other awards the film won or was nominated for. Mostly australian, and some indie stuff. I really liked it. If you read my post on it, I've probably watched 2 or 3 hours of retrospectives trying to get other people's takes on what actually happened. Some pretty cool theories out there, but mostly everyone takes it exactly at face value. I don't think anything I saw from them got it completely right.

6ixStringJack: Turns out it won a few awards to. It won the sci-fi Saturn award (I think this year). The girl who played Lilly also won a best actress award, but not from one of the US shows. It was filmed in Australia, so maybe that was an Australian award, or it was one of the Indie award shows.

6ixStringJack: That was just weird enough to keep me engaged and on the edge of my seat most of the way through. Obviously low budget, but I like how it leaned into that. Without saying what specifically on my end yet, there were a few parts that seemed a little hokey to me while they were happening, but since I have no idea what I just watched, I don't even know if they actually happened or not.

6ixStringJack: Too early for me. I grew up in the 80's but that was a weird time and the music doesn't do it for me. If it were the only choice though, I'd take it over the 2020s for sure. 70's too.

Brenda: Maybe. But nope it was Wild Bill. Too for Billy the Kid and I don't think the Kid every got to the Dakotas. Think he mostly roamed around Texas. I remember Calamity Jane and Swearagin. Love Ian McShane. Yeah, remember Doc. Oh yes, Timothy Olyphant. Love him too. I remember him running the hardware store and becoming the law in Deadwood. Not sure about the character name. Seth, maybe? Yeah, I can't remember the name of the guy who worked at hardware store either. I know the woman you mean but I don't remember her name either. *L* Soo, Pinkerton. By that time the Pinkerton agency was well established. They were PIs/Security. Railroads would often hire them to be security on trains carrying money. Payrolls for the army and gold for the government. Also they would sometimes join posses to bring big name outlaws.

6ixStringJack: I think you're ahead of me. I forgot it was Wild Bill that was in the show. I thought it was Billy the Kid. He might have been in there at some point too. I can only name 3 characters by name after all these years. Calamity Jane, Schweringen (the bar owner/most badass character in the show) and Doc the doctor. I know Timothy Oleyphant is the "star" but I couldn't even tell you his character's name, or that of his 2nd in command, or even the woman he was on-again/off-again with. Oh... and Pinkerton. But we got massively screwed out of that character and the battle that should have taken place instead of that movie a decade too late.

Brenda: You are a head of me then. All I knew was that Wild Bill was killed. Might have known it was in a saloon. There's a scene of his killing in "Little Big Man". I didn't much about the first character and the second one was sort of a crumb. I saw movie and yeah as I remember it wasn't great.

6ixStringJack: Interesting. I know I knew all that at some point when I was watching the show. I really liked his character and was sad to see him go early on, even though he wasn't one of the "good" guys. I really do have to give that show another watch one day and finally get around to watching that disappointing movie that came out 10 years later than it should have.

Brenda: Yeah, like I said I recognized him more as the Right Hand guy than the one behind the gun taking out Wild Bill. The character wasn't famous and according to what I read about the real Jack McCall, his reason for shooting Wild Bill was revenge. Killing his brother. Not unusual in those days for a lot of men in the West to be unkempt unless they were army or had a business. Had to be respectable looking in both occupations.

6ixStringJack: Right, right... He was Right Hand to the BIG Big Bad of the entire show at the end the 2nd time he was on the show. So he wasn't a famous gunslinger in the 1st role, but he shot Wild Bill Hickok. Almost unrecognizable if you weren't looking at photos of both performances right next to each other. So much facial hair and dirt on that first character he might as well have been a Klingon.

6ixStringJack: I don't remember names on the show anymore, but his early character in Deadwood, if I remember right, was a card playing, gambling, dirty gunslinger. May have been one of the famous ones in real life even... not sure. But when he came back a few seasons later he was like the Right Hand of the Big Bad and was clean shaven and always wearing a suit. I think me or my brother did figure that one out and told the other "Hey! Wait a minute." when we knew it was the same actor back for a totally different role, but it took us a while to realize it.

6ixStringJack: Oh. Yeah. I could see pretty easily recycling some good character actors in a show like Babylon 5 or Star Trek/Wars when they're in full alien costume for one role and human in another. But I got to tgive it to Dillahunt for being so good at his job that I didn't realize one of my early favorite bad-guy characters in the show being killed ended up coming back as another great bad-guy a season or 3 later.
