Boardwalk Empire
    #19049858 - 10/29/13 12:23 AM (10 years, 3 months ago)

with the advent of the end of breaking bad, this has got to be the best running show on television.  ive been watching since season one.  i suspect that the only reason it is not as raved about is because it is on HBO.  anyone else in love with this show?  i searched threads about it and the last post was in 2012.  unacceptable!  lol.  hopefully by stirring the pot i can find other fellow Boardwalk Empire fans and we can maybe shoot the shit about it.  Richard Harrow is so awesome.  I miss Jimmy, and was suprised how the show carries on, even as lead characters die off like flys.

Ya the show is very ballsy in that sense. Aint no soap opera. Ultimately its about Nucky. Everyone else is expendable.

I'm excited to see how Capone keeps developing. Seems like he just reached a serious turning point deeper into the abyss.

I wish I could get more into television. I think it's a great show, but I just have issues committing to tv dramas.

On the otherhand, the opening credits are performed by a fucking GREAT band called the Brian Jonestown Massacre that eeeveryone should totally check out!

i love the way they incorporate feedback into the music.  not sure if your into the grateful dead, but they were really big on incorporating and fine tuning feedback in alot of their jams.  and, well, we all know, Jimmy Hendrix was King at it.

Hell yeah, if there is one thing I know about Boardwalk Empire it's this. Chalky's fight scene this week was fucking crazy. When he put that piece of wood through the guys cheek what the fuck that was crazy it was so intense.

boardwalk is a top quality show, its masterfully produced. the screen play is great. the mark of a good piece of film is one that can tell parts of the story, or portray messages into your mind without the use of words, and boardwalk is really great at doing that.


you have to watch what is being placed on screen, what the tone of the scene is, and think about it in terms of the current situation or what is about to happen. it gives alot of clues or foreshadows alot of things.


its a really great show. but i hate how they always kill all the best characters!!!!


also, i think season 4, with the exception of the most recent episode has been the worst season so far. s1-2-3 were great. maybe season 4 is still building i dunno.

So glad there is barely any Margret this season. I hate that lady so much, with her ignorance and stupid accent. :crankey:

The show used to be good, but last season was meh and this season sucks balls so far.

They should change the name to Boredwalk Empire.

I see you are trying to suggest that I hate her because she's a female. If you actually watched the show, you would at the very least understand where I'm coming from.

It has nothing to do with the fact that's she's a lady, it has everything to do with the fact that it's a show about gangsters and there has to be some stupid christian irish lady that the main character falls in love with. She makes a lot of dumb decisions, and her morals piss me off.

And when it's all said and done, she isn't a historically accurate figure, but a combination of two women from the real life of Nucky Thompson.

There is another female in the show with an accent who I happen to love (Van Alden's woman).

She is one of my favorite characters.  She, Michael Shannon, and Jack Huston, were the best parts of the show...and now all of them have been marginalized into oblivion.

The show sucks now.

no, i literally meant what i said, and i wasn't hinting at anything. literally, the only reason to wish that a lady character was killed off, is almost always, "because she's a stupid bitch".

TV should make some female characters that aren't completely flat. (LOL not in THAT way obviously)

but, you know, you make a good argument for me to actually watch the show and maybe be proven wrong about this whole "theory".

i mean, i know afterall, that this show is wicked. i thought it looked awesome, ever since i saw a commercial and saw Steve Buscemi playing the lead.

but i still haven't watched it yet. i even had Season 1, but i never checked it out and then recently i had to transfer all my shit to a removable HD and i got rid alot of the movies and shows i had so i could fit everything. :shrug:

PS: i didn't really read your post yet. i'll do that now.

That's funny, you make fun of the show for getting boring when it lost one of the most boring characters. She's as dull as a butter knife, I could not give a single fuck what was going on with her.

Michael Shannon's character isn't as prominent (They have too many different story lines going on), but I find his character's dive into a gangster quite entertaining.

Harrow has been getting decent air time this season, minus the last couple of episodes.

Basically I have no idea what you are talking about.

I just assumed you were implying that men always dislike female characters in films/tv shows for stupid reasons, even re-reading what you wrote it still comes across that way.

I told you before: You recommended House Of Cards which I enjoyed, but I got to say Boardwalk is better (in my opinion obviously).

oh yeah, House of Cards is too dry. i never finished it, even if it was pretty decent. it's probably not as interesting a subject as gangsters.

PS: not men. not just men. anyone can hate female leads. THAT was more along the lines of what i was getting at. :lol:

You're out of your mind, dude...Nucky is boring without Margaret.  Margaret created the tension between Nucky the gangster and Nucky the human...now he's just one-dimensional.  He's like Tony Soprano without Carmella.

Mad Men pulled the same shit when they got divorced.  Without Betty, Don had no reason to sneak and lie like he used to...his whole character became boring as fuck.

I was a big fan of The Wire, so Chalky is one of my favorite characters. He even has the same scar as Omar Little...:yesnod:
