Boardwalk Empire didn't do it for the Jersey Shore.


I saw the eagerly anticipated Boardwalk Empire that was written by Terry Winter of Soprano's fame and direct by Scorcese and I was not that impressed.

I mean they spent a lot of money on the sets and the costumes but they didn't spend a dime on the exposition. I am intimately familar with the period and I had to stop every five minutes to explain to the wife what was going on.

Luckily she fell asleep about a half an hour in or I would have shut it off.

I really hope it picks up or I will be force to switch to "Say Yes to the Dress."

Sorry Troop, I have to disagree. Buscemi was brilliant, plot and character development was first rate.

I thought it was a well written script, I can't wait to see where it goes next. I think this may be on par with Deadwood, time will tell.

But hey, that's why they have different channels.

The reviews of this thing have been phenomenal. Either it's the greatest thing since sliced bread or HBO is calling in a lot of markers.

It's a series and can't explain the entire history of prohibition in the first hour or so.

Most of these things spend the first episode building up the characters and that tends to make the program scattered and sketchy.

I liked it, but it does have a way to go to flesh out the characters and to give some historical context.....without becoming a high school documentary.

Besides....the clothing, architecture and the decorations are pretty cool.

Hey I think it was great.. also main players Buscemi & Scorsese are New Yorkers...Hey wasn't Buscemi a fireman...

Nino - Supposedly, Bescemi was on 55 engine (Little Italy) for several years in the early eighties. I don't know how good of a firefighter he was, but the sumbitch can sure act!

I saw it and it was amazing.

My hog was hard the entire time with some precum.

I thought I was going to blow so many times.

Does your hog ever ache and your balls hang and hurt because you need to release a really nice hot stream of splooge?

I don't like the cum after I shoot though. It is sticky and messy and hard to clean up.

I wish there were little cum vacuum cleaners. I don't want to get near the crap after it has left the mushroom head of my 8 inch cut hog.

I need to get out more, when the only thing I understand in this entire thread is Titus' post.
