BOARDWALK EMPIRE (HBO) - Everything you wanted to bootleg about the Show!

[Historyteach24]

Im loving this season except for the dormity lady dating a dude that looks like jimmy that angle always grossed me out

 

[Espee]

I remember Touché Turtle, but nothing about him having a partner.
Hmmm... We had a dog who repeatedly earned the nickname " dum-dum," right around that time.

"Jimmy deserved better than this."

Watch out Gillian.

 

[Worf]

I'm warming up to this Sigrid (Mrs. Nelson Van Alden/George Mueller) character. She's willing and able to administer deadly blows to her partner's adversaries, and she cooks up marketable hooch on her kitchen still.

We should all have such a devoted and resourceful spouse.

Nothing like a woman willing to go to bat fer her man... LITERALLY! To paraphrase John Wayne in "They Were Expendable"...

"She's a handy gal to have around in prohibition."

So it's all out war the old style Sicilians vs. The Luciano Business Model. I know who lives and who dies, it's just going to be interesting to see how they do it.

Worf

I was just watching a bit of the 1991 film Mobsters. It's pretty awful. It's funny how I guess I now view BE's Luciano and Capone as accurate depictions of these men, becuase Christian Slater as Luciano and the guy that played The Man in Black on Lost as Capone seem horribly miscast.

Gillian is not long for this world.

Its really a horribly bad mobster movie. Right up there with Hoodlum but not quite as bad as Hit the Dutchman... yeech...

Tuesday evening I went to see the Broadway production of Glengarry Glen Ross. The cast included Al Pacino, John C. McGinley, Richard Schiff, and Bobby Cannavale. All the actors did a great job but John McGinley and Cannavale stole the show.
Btw, Bobby Cannavale plays Gyp Rosetti in Boardwalk Empire.

 

[flat-top]

^^Cannavale as Roma makes perfect sense. Pacino now playing The Machine (the polar opposite of Roma) must have been interesting!

 

[Feraud]

Cannavale was a great Ricky Roma, so slick and sincere pedding the soft sell.
It was cool to see Pacino as Shelly "The Machine" Levine but I don't think anyone can top Jack Lemmon's performance in the film version. Lemmon was great!

Saw Paz de la Huerta (Lucy Danziger) last night.......over-served........torn dress......and a bit thick in the mid section.

How not to be lady like by lucy danzinger..

The writers are venturing dangerously close to the shark tank.

But what the hell ...

It wouldn't surprise me at this point to see Margaret kill Gyp Rosetti. And somebody's gotta off Gillian. Even though she has given him ample reason, I doubt it'll be Richard Harrow who does it.

I couldn't have been the only one who got a tad annoyed by Nucky's repeated flashbacks to Billie Kent's lovely mug just before she got blown to smithereens.

...

Sounds like my kind of girl. Didn't happen to get her phone number, did ya?

 

[Feraud]

Gillian has proven herself to be more a monster and menace than any of those gangsters with their bootlegging and murder. Her chastising Richard Harrow and implying it was his fault for Jimmy's son to see what goes on in a brothel was one more strike against her.
I have this small hope to see Richard take Jimmy's son, his new girlfriend and disappear on a train.

The writers are venturing dangerously close to the shark tank.

Just curious, what aspect of the storyline is giving you this feeling?

 

[The Wiser Hatter]

I loved the end of this episode and General Gip. Three eipsodes left and there are several good endings for each story line.

The Sad part is that they was an even more impressive movie house right across the street. That was torn down and replaced with a parking lot in the late 60's.

Here is the parking lot.

There where several others. that where also torn down.

It brings a tear to think of the loss of the Rialto. When I was little would play in that upstairs lobby. What a shame. Louisville After The Bombings!--John

 

[The Wiser Hatter]

John you may see my brothers name on Louisville papers
As he is at the forefront of saving all landmark buildings in Louisville I do a lot of graphic design work to support his efforts.

I'm confident lots of us are wishing for that very outcome. I mean, Richard is a killer, but he's such a damned likable killer, whereas the people he dispatches are decidedly not.

The whole thing is becoming increasingly implausible. And some of the tricks are just so cheap and easy -- such as the repeated flashbacks to the final few seconds of Billie Kent's earthly existence and Nucky's watery post-concussion vision. Cheesy.

I'll keep on watching it, though, mostly because it's good, clean, bloody fun, and the clothes and the scenes are pretty cool. But I won't think that it offers much insight into how life really was during Prohibition.
