Bury my heart at wounded knee

[steveo]

This was on the box a few weeks ago and I missed it. Made by HBO who did the super Band of Brothers, did anyone watch it? Was it any good?

must say HBO really have made some great shows including.... Band Of Brothers, Sopranos and Rome to name a few

Spot on. Best channel in THE WORLD... the home of Curb Your Enthusiasm fer gods sake!

The Sopranos is the the best TV show ever.

I still wish I knew what had happened to Tony though.

Did you know that in real life he's a musician and plays in the E-Street band backing Bruce Springsteen?

He's known as Little Stevie I believe.

Also, that's a syrup. He's a complete slappy in real life.

Little different there!

I believe he gets a mother****ing cap in the back of his head by the dude coming out of the carzie.
If you look closely the geezer that does it hasn't even bothered to zip himself up and has clearly 'popped out'.

Only slightly more on-topic than the previous posts - I read the book at a very early age and I have to say it had a fairly profound effect on a youngster raised on Hollywoods version of the Old West. I believe that subsequently the authors bias and lack of verifiable sources was criticised, but even so it made a fascinating counter-point to the 'victor history' that we were originally fed.

I also missed the HBO version. I understand that it concentrates solely on the last few chapters of the book - the massacre at Wounded Knee being the major event. I've put it on my Lovefilm list and will let you know what I think when it arrives...

I've seen it steveo, and it was very well made and very watchable. As Rayleigh Weir points out regarding the book, there was a certain amount of bias but I guess it's difficult to be objective when you're dealing with a massacre.

As some of you may know, I am part American and a US Citizen, and this is obviously not a glorious chapter in our short history. (For the record, I am also a British Citizen and consider myself English more than anything else.) Having lived on a Canadian Indian Reservation for 12 months, I have great respect for the Indian people and feel honoured to have lived amongst them. My use of the word 'Indian' is not intended to cause offence, it is the word that the people of the Carrier Tribe use to describe themselves.

They prefer something a little more robust - like a Jalfrezi.

My roots are Essex and Alabama - that's a cultural jackpot Swiss. I just got this damn Jewish thing to keep me humble.

Also the series The Wire.

I'd never even heard of it until I borrowed the first series off a mate recently, but it was actually pretty cool. Very hard hitting police show set in Baltimore, Maryland. Can't find the third series anywhere here, so hope it's in Virgin or whatever that store is called these days for my short visit later this month!
