why say deadwood's olyphant, why not die hard by couP	Jun 26th, 2008 12:43:33 AM

Where the fuck is The Shield? by textual	Jun 26th, 2008 12:51:15 AM
It finished shooting the week the writer's strike began. And yet it hasn't been aired on TV. What the hell is wrong with F/X? Why didn't they air it when it had NO competition from the Networks? Now it'll be going up against premires.

Damages was one of the best shows of last year... by Captain Happy	Jun 26th, 2008 01:02:23 AM
'nuff said.
No love for Hitman, Herc? by Lyghthouse	Jun 26th, 2008 01:06:04 AM
Hehe.
OK, Herc... by jimmy rabbitte	Jun 26th, 2008 01:06:43 AM
...while you're handing out FX show information... What's the story with Rescue Me? ...beyond these minisodes they are now airing...
& I love that theme song, by Captain Happy	Jun 26th, 2008 01:08:10 AM
it's the only show where I watch the open all the way through every time... "when I get through with you, there won't be anything left..."
oh yeh, as lyghthouse said, hitman also! by couP	Jun 26th, 2008 01:11:36 AM

This Casting Is a Coup For Damages by Derek Wildstarr	Jun 26th, 2008 01:33:52 AM
Season 2 will blow away Season 1 I'm hoping.
"why say deadwood's olyphant, why not die hard" by Alonzo Mosely	Jun 26th, 2008 01:46:32 AM
Because Deadwood is excellent, and Die Hard 4 was a piece of crap...
I sadly admit by Sebilrazen	Jun 26th, 2008 02:01:37 AM
That I know Olyphant was in "Catch and Release" too. (as was Kevin Smith) Now I need to wash myself. With bleach.
He sucked in Hitman by aversiontherapy2	Jun 26th, 2008 02:13:50 AM
Totally miscast, but he ruled in Deadwood, perfectly portraying a man barely keeping his seething temper under control. Only MacShane was better.
what about... by The Real MiraJeff	Jun 26th, 2008 02:13:51 AM
scream 2. just sayin, you have to admit, he was good...
Damn You MCMLXXVI by TheyCallMeMisterBay	Jun 26th, 2008 02:19:37 AM
Damn You MCMLXXVI
Hitman by AlwaysThere	Jun 26th, 2008 03:11:20 AM
$100 mil worldwide and no mention?
Don't expect Rescue Me by The Selecter	Jun 26th, 2008 05:21:14 AM
until mid-2009/April-ish. FX put in a double order, so there will be plenty to come. I just hope it returns to form after a subpar season (that includes not having Tatum O'Neal work out her real-life problems on screen). Flipping around the earlier reruns now shows how they dropped the ball. And while it's true the Shield finished shooting during the strike, nobody important, like say Shawn Ryan was around to do the final cuts. Nobody who watches probably gives a crap about the Olympics, but FX decided not to go against them in the summer. Oh yeah, Damages looks like it's going to rock again. Say hello to the Eff-Bee-Eye!
Damages was a great first season by Nabster	Jun 26th, 2008 05:49:36 AM
one of the best new shows. I will be sad Ted Dansons characters will now longer be on the show, they will need to replace his character with an equally compelling one.
i love Rose Byrne by newc0253	Jun 26th, 2008 06:23:16 AM
there, i said it.
I disagree I think Hurt by Nabster	Jun 26th, 2008 06:50:46 AM
will be an incredible addition to the cast. With the potential to make up for Ted Dansons absense, whom was a revelation on Damages. Rescue Me in mid 2009? Thats just unacceptably long, long enough for me to reconsider my interest in the show, nah who am I kidding, love that show.
"My Name Is Earl" Olyphant by EvilWizardGlick	Jun 26th, 2008 07:21:10 AM
Scientology?
It is a fact. by EriamJH	Jun 26th, 2008 07:30:05 AM
Deadwood: superior than all other titles being mentioned in this article and talkback. Anyone who says differently begs to have a knife drawn at there throat and be called a cunt while Wu's pigs feed on their hoopleheaded carcasses.
Love Damages, Love Shield by ATARI	Jun 26th, 2008 07:46:57 AM
Thank you, FX, for making some quality shows.
Darkhawke by zer0cool2k2	Jun 26th, 2008 08:21:12 AM
Hurt played the perfect handsome idiot in "Broadcast News". "Altered States" was also pretty cool, although it's been so long since I've seen it, I can't remember how good Hurt's performance was. Picked up all three seasons of Deadwood last week and started rewatching. Definitely Olyphant's best character to date.
So apparently Olyphant by PumpyMcAss	Jun 26th, 2008 08:23:04 AM
misses HBO so much that he is going to pop up on a show on HBO's baby sister network FX. Don't do imitation, man. Get the band back together and film season four already. Nobody's doing anything cool with their careers anyway. Finish the Deadwood SAGA!
Do we know about the format? by CatVutt	Jun 26th, 2008 08:24:25 AM
Is this season going to be set up the same way as last? With the time-jumping?
Fuckin' Bullock by Al Swearengen	Jun 26th, 2008 08:51:59 AM
Huzzah! Swell news for our beloved fuckin' sherrif. Insane fuckin' person though he may be.
olypha like a dead peice of wood by wattos new hat	Jun 26th, 2008 08:59:58 AM
thanks for making die hard 4 oh so much shittier and thanks for not much else.
Altered States by skimn	Jun 26th, 2008 09:01:36 AM
It has been years since I've seen it, but I always remember what a self absorbed prick he was in that, till the end, of course. And his small role in History Of Violence was strong enough for an Oscar nom, if that means anything.
Wait a sec. Hurt and Olyphant join the cast... by HoboCode	Jun 26th, 2008 09:13:05 AM
and Olyphant joining is your big headline? WTF?
HITMAN is fun like COMMANDO by UMAGA	Jun 26th, 2008 09:15:26 AM
Sure they had a better script but FOX fucked it up. Just turn off your brain and have some fun. It's a lot more fun then a shitty Bay movie. Why didn't Herc mention it? He's a prick.
Its funny that Olyphant exuded more by skimn	Jun 26th, 2008 09:45:40 AM
menace in the more comedic Go and The Girl Next door than in Die Hard or Hitman combined.
HoboCode by Thrillho77	Jun 26th, 2008 10:15:43 AM
They already had a Hurt article here a few weeks ago when he joined the cast.
Can they say "cocksucker" on FX? by Charlie Murphy	Jun 26th, 2008 10:41:37 AM
I read about that news yesterday, and it made me pumped. I really enjoy Olyphant's work, and i'm sure he'll be enjoyable on Damages. For such a low rated show, FX sure seems committed to keeping this show around by bringing in some big names.
Hurray for Tim Olyphant, and regarding Hurt: by Zeke25:17	Jun 26th, 2008 11:21:09 AM
the two best things I saw him do were Children of a Lesser God and Broadcast News. Terrific in both; and for some reason, I used to get him and Jeff Bridges mixed up. No doubt Olyphant is the more exciting actor, though William has a definite presence onscreen. (BTW, does anyone remember Olyphant guest starring on My Name is Earl? "You scared?...Ya SHOULD BE! 'Cuz I'm Billy Reed. You know how many girls I've had SEX with?
Sorry, forgot this part: by Zeke25:17	Jun 26th, 2008 11:22:12 AM
(Holds up five fingers and says very quietly:) Five. Five.
Thrillho77 by HoboCode	Jun 26th, 2008 11:42:09 AM
Oh. My bad. Missed that one.
Olyphant was great in The Girl Next Door by Toby___Wong	Jun 26th, 2008 12:10:29 PM
He totally stole the show there.
Olyphant by dahveed1972	Jun 26th, 2008 12:13:44 PM
Pretty sure FX is owned by NewsCorp (FOX) and HBO is owned by TimeWarner
Olyphant in The Girl Next Door by EriamJH	Jun 26th, 2008 12:27:11 PM
I thought he was a psychotic younger brother of Bill Paxton. DEADWOOD FOREVER, ya sea-creature-looking cocksuckers!
Damages! by johnnyangel	Jun 26th, 2008 03:41:28 PM
You will rock. Seriously this is good news. I hope he plays an evil sociopath like Ted Danson last year. That was the best work Danson's ever done, imho.
Olyphant needs a new agent by blackmantis	Jun 26th, 2008 08:48:42 PM
If you can't parlay the awesomeness that was Olyphant in Deadwood into a decent big screen career as a leading man, you're doing a shitty job.
WATCH WHAT YOU SAY!! by Smerdyakov	Jun 27th, 2008 08:00:02 AM
An Oliphant never forgets.
The charming, menacing Olyphant by JAGUART	Jun 27th, 2008 03:38:52 PM
Needs to be seen a lot more. This guy has charisma.
