    What you think so far of "Boardwalk Empire" ???

    First episode I gave it a chance...

    I am watching the second one now and wondering why Steve Buschemi hasnt fixed his teeth yet? I am sure he makes good money to get em fixed?

    it would ruin his character..he usually plays similar type roles...and non perfect teeth probably help him fit those roles

      I am enjoying it. Great period flavor & set design, good acting. Buscemi is great as always.

          I think it's pretty crappy, Steve Buscemi should never have gotten lead role, only person who was cast properly was the Jew and the bad ass agent guy.

              Steve Buscemi is probaly the most respected actor on television now. Who else is there? Charlie Sheen?

              Also - why WOULD he fix his teeth? Have you seen his face? Fixing the teeth wouldn't help unless he made a huge commitment to go under the knife. I'm sure his teeth don't hurt him and they're all in good shape - maybe not lined up all pretty and nice, but I'm sure they're fine by him. Nothing says "reality" like a '20s era gangster with teeth from 2010. Actually, they should be a LOT worse.

              Now I'm imagining Steve Buscemi wearing braces.

              Besides, the fucking show is set in the '20s. His teeth should be worse. Michael Pitt is almost 30 - not nineteen as he tells "Al Capone". Its fiction. The casting was brilliant.

              Its a good show. I like it.

                hey to each their own I would never think buscemi is a "the most respected actor on television", I think buscemi belongs as a supporting role which he is good at and has always stayed at for good reason, who can stand to listen to his helium sucking voice for an hour.. or buy that he is a tough guy? Like his supporting role in Sopranos was good and just as he was getting annoying, boom they killed him off.

                I think the Capone character and blondie kid both suck at acting, and the plots are predictable and the whole thing is just writer/director masturbation that was overhyped. But worse shows have made it 5 seasons.. best of luck to em since Dexter went to shit not much competition on Sunday night anymore.

                      I'm enjoying the show and think it's going to have a great run.

                      As far as his teeth, he's kinda known for a fucked up grill. Why fuck with it.

                        I like it so far, but I've always liked old mafia stories/movies.

                            Steve Buschemi is great and fixed teeth would just make him less him.

                              I kinda like it, but it's hard not to enjoy watching a guy that controls a town do his thing. I don't think the show has kicked into high gear though, so far it's been more interesting than amazing.

                                I agree they could have cast a tougher persona actor in Buschemi's role. He played more of a weasel character on the Sopranos. I could picture Joe Pesci or Russell Crowe playing the tougher megalomaniac type that role requires. Entertaining show though.

                                  They should have picked a relatively unknown just like they did when they cast Gandalfini in sopranos.

                                    I like it.

                                    As usual...HBO and Showtime RULE television. It just makes broadcast television with all of it's censorship look even crappier. The writers, actors, and directors are all on pay cable.

                                    And isn't this the first and only time that Martin Scorcese has done small screen? It sure looks great. I'm really enjoying it.

                                      Could be another Deadwood. Interesting show that never really goes anywhere.
                                      - As soon as I think up a good sig it's going here.

                                          I'm enjoying it, it's no Sopranos replacement but it's good, just slower paced than I expected.

                                            There could be value in watching a person with good teeth.

                                              I've read that from the six episodes critics watched, the first was the weakest -- and that was pretty good -- so I think it will get even better.

                                                  You guys remember his character on a nickelodeon show called "pete & pete"?

                                                              Boring as hell. Buscemi is horribly miscast - the guy is completely non-threatening. He was okay as Tony's klutzy cousin who managed to get his foot run over while botching a hit. But as a big-time tough guy - no way.

                                                              It kills me that they wasted 20 million on this when they could have made more Rome episodes. Now that would have been good.

                                                                Dont get so caught up with Steve. I think that the Jimmy character is going to become very interesting. That dynamic between Nucky - the big old school guy, and Jimmy - the young violent one who represents a new era can create good conflict. Plus the conflict within Jimmy - family man, but scared by WWI. etc etc

So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants

                                                                          Deadwood died because it costs too much to cast the entire show with extras and townspeople.

                                                                          I see the same thing happening. Too much town / extras needed to make the show look good.

                                                                          I like the show so far. Great titties and a decent story to boot

                                                                              I think it's cool they decided not to cast an actor with a stereotypically tough look and personality. In reality not all tyrants look and act like we'd expect them to, which could also serve as shock value as the series moves along.

                                                                                I don't think the Nucky character calls for someone physically intimidating, IMO kinda the opposite. The character has to be someone who can blend with both local politicians and the Prohibition movement. It's not really a "Johnny Stugots" type role.
