Eggs Mayonnaise
All In With The Nuts
Martin Scorsese is involved, so of course the production values are excellent and the violence/gore are graphic. Mark Wahlberg is involved so of course the women are all portrayed ridiculously.
The pace was slow to start, and it wasn't clear if I should even give a damn about anyone until they started piling on the misfortunes to Lucky Thompson, and then had him solve his problems "Mattresses" style at the end.
I dunno. Steve Buscemi isn't what I'd hoped he'd be in the main role. The other actors are pretty forgettable, except for Michael Pitt as the WWI vet sidekick. He is awful, and doesn't know how to act in a period piece to save his life. What were they thinking in casting him, unless they plan on making him "the frequently naked one" later on. But really, I've seen every millimeter of him, alert and at rest already, like Ewen McGregor, so it's not even going to be a surprise.
I may not start a recap thread for every episode, but I'm still giving it a chance for the time being. But a lot of this ground has already been covered in more exciting and witty ways, so it will be an uphill battle for me.
p.s. yes there were boobies and ladybutt and sex (but it was with Buscemi). The women were more healthy then, that much is good.
