God this show is so good. Milch is a genius but Robbins comments at the end there summed it all up, never thought about how Bullock and Ms Garrets break up was them putting selfishness aside for the good of the camp, aka how society and civilization formed.
I love how they have a pallet for David when they're playing the music, also notice how he lies down when he's in the writer's room in multiple behind-the-scenes videos. I guess that's how he was able to really focus on something. Or maybe the floor was comfortable idk.
Milch suffered from obsessive compulsive disorder (among other problems) and he found that the only way to be spontaneous and productive on a weekly basis was to dictate the lines as he formed them in his head. Anytime he was permitted to put his hands on a keyboard or a writing utensil, his process would be sluggish and compulsive. There was a period in his life where he re-wrote the same 12 pages of script verbatim each day for several months, for no reason other than to his exert his mastery over it - the guy had it bad. And yes, the floor of the writer's trailer was reportedly the most comfortable position for him!
@@flaccidusminimus2170 He's probably my second favorite writer in any medium. My first one being Cormac McCarthy. I admire Milch's ability to totally understand what he wants to convey, whatever higher themes at play in his works (specifically Deadwood). And to learn that someone with that amount of talent and drive would be stricken with Alzheimer's is so unimaginably cruel. The thing I admired most about him, his mind, has been taken from him. Of course it's tragic when anyone gets the disease, I'm not downplaying it. I'm just thankful for the work he was able to create and share with the rest of us.
He may have...but prior to the onset of his Alzheimer's, Milch had an insatiable gambling problem. Lost all of his savings apparently. He and his wife had to move in to a rented place. Their marriage survived primarily because David relinquished his right to handle money in any context. Or something like that...there were articles published about it several years ago.
He discusses that in his memoir. His wife knew he was profligate and has many addictions, gambling among them. But it wasn’t until their financial advisor suddenly recommended that they put their real estate in their children’s names that she dug further. She found out he had lost $25 million at the racetrack over the past 10 years, and that they were $17m in debt to the IRS. She took over their finances, sued their financial advisor for breach of fiduciary duty to her and put him on a $40 per week allowance.

12:20 - SO weird to see Robin Weigert in normal clothes after you watch this show! 🤣
Thanks for uploading this as well as the other Deadwood stuff

@@Cyber_Nootvery well said. I just finished his memoir and it was both sublime and heartbreaking. A great read, in any case.
Trixie wears both my fave Deadwood garments: the pink gown, at this wedding; and a red-and-tan skirt, when Al's ill.
Milch is the archetypal mad genius
God i wish the instrumental music for the show was released
Great fiddling by Mr. Byron Berline, RIP.
My daughter and I pay homage to David Milch's Deadwood: ruclips.net/video/1HXC9azwn2U/видео.html

I hope that brilliant madman got filthy rich off this.

@@flaccidusminimus2170 Devastating.

What a nightmare to work with
Who specifically? And do you have the straight dope on what it's like, or are you drawing this conclusion on the basis of the video?
Assure me this is sarcasm please.
What do you mean?
Most geniuses are a little squirrelly
Most rage-bait commenters go quiet when called upon to explain themselves
