Mon, July 16, 2007 - 11:25 AMI didn't get to finish watching the whole episode last night...but it was interesting to see how much
Vietnam Joe is into the "herb"...in the scene where they are at Bill's house, he's asking if it's okay to light up
in his (Bill, the retired cop) house...the whole time Bill is having an emotional melt-down because John
seems to be channeling Bill's departed wife. -

Johnny Monad's Big Speech
John's extraordinary speech at the end of the episode is bound to trigger much discussion. I'm not in a position to enter that fray, but I can say this: all but a couple of John's statements will make sense to anyone who follows the show, listens closely and think it through. In the interest of abetting that process, here's a transcript:
"If my words are yours, can you hear my Father? Can Bill know my Father, keeping his eye on me? Can I bone Kai and Butchie know my Father instead?
"My Father's shy doing his business. Kai helps my Father dump out. Bill takes a shot. Shaunie is much improved.
"Joe is a Doubting Thomas. Joe will save Not-Aleman. Joe will bring his buddies home. This is how Freddy relaxes. Cup-o'joe, and Winchell's variety dozen.
"Mitch catches a good wave. Mitch wipes out. Mitch wipes out Cissy. Cissy shows Butchie how to do that. Cissy wipes Butchie out. Butchie hurts Barry's head. Mister Rollins comes in Barry's face. My Father runs the Mega-Millions.
"Fur is big. Mud is big. The stick is big. The word is big. Fire is huge. The wheel is huge. The line and circle are big. On the wall, the line and circle are huge. On the wall, the man at the wall makes a man from the circle and line. The man at the wall makes a Word on the wall from the circle and line. The Word on the wall hears my Father.
"The zeroes and ones make the Word in Cass's camera. In the Word on the wall that hears my-Father-in-Cass's-camera, the good one Mitch catches doesn't wipe Cissy out. In the-Word-that-hears-my-Father, Cissy shows Butchie something else. In-my-Father's-Word, Cissy shows Butchie in Shaun. In-my-Father's-Word, Tina raises Shaun at lunch. In Cass's-camera, Butchie lays the court out for Barry, and Mister Rollins watches, and he doesn't come on Barry's face. In Cass's-camera, Butchie knows Kai kept the faith. In-my-Father's-Word, the Wave lifts them up.
"In Cass's camera, Bill doesn't bump his head on the stairs. In Cass's-camera, as long as he's being stupid, Bill gives Lois a kiss.
"In His-Word-in-Cass's-camera, the Internet is big. Nine-Eleven is big, but not every towel-head is eradicated. In His-Word, We are coming Nine-Eleven-Fourteen.
"In my-Father's-Word, Bill sees how Freddy relaxes. In Cass's-camera, Ramon wants to know who's hungry, in the courtyard and Room Forty-Five.
"In my-Father's-Word-to-come-in-Cass's-camera, Doctor Smith calls Ocean Properties. In Cass's-camera-to-come, my Father stares Not Aleman down, and Freddy sees Bill much-improved.
"You will not note my-Father's-Word, nor remember Cass's-camera, but you will not forget what we did here."
And with that, John's spell is broken. -

Re: favorite quotes
Tue, July 17, 2007 - 1:48 PMI love this show, but JUST like Deadwood, everytime I watch it I feel like the dumbest cat in the room. I'm still looking for a Bullock like Character who gives you clues, "I'm putting you on notice!" Translates to someone is about to get shot. My two favorite quotes to date are without a doubt;
"We are on the precipice of a clusterfuck!"
The second, forgive me I forget the context but it is when Bill Jacks points out that Butchie has an erection, then later when John repeats it.
Good writing can carry any show, good writing and great talent make a show! I love this show, aside from the afore mentioned feeling dim when it is over, I need a David Milch for Dummies guide. -

Re: favorite quotes
Tue, July 17, 2007 - 2:33 PMMaybe some Milch Milk would help?
It might help to look at the HBO website, there's at least one interview with Milch there...It sounds like a lot of this is sort of made up on-the-fly or changes with very little notice.
There's also a very good interview with the gal who plays Kai, she was originally supposed to be a surfing "consultant" to the show, 'cause she's a real pro surfer...
I get the impression that Milch has an over-all idea of what might be called the story "arc"...or maybe an outline might be a better concept...but a lot of the details he fills in as they go along, and its ends up being more of an "organic" process.
As opposed to the Deadwood writing which seemed to have an almost "Victorian Era" dialect going on...where they had a very round-about way of saying things, here, it seems like each actor has been given key elements to bring to the character, that the other actors either don't know about, or are intentionally acting as if they don't know...
Look at the interactions between Butchie and Kai...prior to the 7/15 show...and then look at it again, with the revelations that came out in the 7/15 episode. -

Wed, July 18, 2007 - 5:46 AM**As opposed to the Deadwood writing which seemed to have an almost "Victorian Era" dialect going on...where they had a very round-about way of saying things**
I think that applies here, too. The flow of dialog is very much like Deadwood.
And, while I think I have a pretty good grasp of language, I feel like my IQ drops substantially while watching this show.
Thank goodness for DVR!! -

Re: favorite quotes
Wed, July 18, 2007 - 10:37 AMSome of the keys, from what I've read about this is to look at spoken vs. body language...I think it was Milch or maybe it's the
other guy who is doing the HBO episode "in depth" articles, anyway, one of them said that you need to pay attention to the
"What I say vs. what I do" when watching JFC...
One particular instance with this last weeks episode that stands out for me is the interaction between the doctor and Palatka....
when Palatka is in the pool trying to help clean it with his broken wrist...his spoken language is not so inflammatory, but his body language is so outrageous that Freddy comes over and tells him to get out of pool and apologize...later, after his has his wrist cast, his verbal
language is completely opposite of his body language. He is calling the doctor his torturer, and some reference about Abu Ghraib...but his body language says that he is grateful, and even happy for the attention.
Some of this is too overwhelming to fully comprehend, as it is happening...It's not your I.Q. ...it's intentionally oblique. -

Oh definitely! That's one of the best parts...sometimes it's not even the characters who are speaking, but the ones in the background that are telling the story.

Re: favorite quotes
Tue, July 17, 2007 - 2:59 PMThis was just an amazing monolog from John. All the characters (except Mitch so conspicuous by his absence) were there in some sort of alternate reality as John did what, re-did their karma in some way? Negated the sins of the past. Amazing moving stuff. thank you for posting it!
