Jim B., the last episode of Deadwood was terrific, especially
William Sanderson. "Wild Bill" with Jeff Bridges is one of
those movies I always keep on if I come across it. The other
night I tuned in "Calamity Jane" with Doris Day. Watched
about 20 minutes of it. It presented a slightly different
vision of Deadwood.
