And I think most people are pretty decent about using them once it's been established that some people have had their head in the sand in regards to American History and American pop culture ....but I don't particularly feel like getting jumped on because I don't mention that the Allies win WWII, The Americans win the American Revolution or the Roman Empire falls in spoiler tags.

You are using examples of things that are common knowledge... thats the whole point of the debate here. What happens to Myer Lansky doesnt exactly = JFK getting his head blown off. Agree?

It's Meyer, not Myer. And to many of us it does.

Cmon man. I'm trying to be impartial to both sides here, but there's no way you can say the story of Meyer Lansky is anywhere remotely close to being as widely known that JFK was shot. The fact that we've had him referred to in this very thread as both Myer and Myra should be all the proof you need that he's not quite as famous as you want to believe he was.

I'm just trying to figure out why we shouldn't discuss actual historical facts. It's not like I've got access to the actual scripts or something. There is nothing that says the writers can't do whatever the hell they want.

That's a valid point, and I'm sure the writers are going to take some more liberties with these guys the further along it goes. But I doubt they'll deviate entirely about how a gangster died or specific timelines and things like that. Otherwise if they weren't going to stick close to historical facts, why even bother using real gangsters at all ya know?I dunno, I think it just goes back to the angle that the people who know the stories shouldn't get any more enjoyment out of it by telling everyone else all the things they know. And it could ruin certain aspects for those who don't know the story. Nobody is going to be hurt by NOT talking about it, right? So we might as well err on the side of caution is all. My two cents.

 

[Thunderlips]

Then why watch the show?

Because it's a good show.

Yeah it is. I just couldn't see watching (and enjoying) some work of historical fiction and not be curious as to the real history. Bottom line is that if someone wants spoiler alerts about things that happen to be actual historical facts they're asking for a lot.

Alright... now im convinced youre fishing. You do understand that some people may be interested in learning the details via of the show, right? And then (if they want) go ahead and look up the historical facts after-wards. How can this possibly be beyond you?

Dude, you really want us to SPOILER tag ACTUAL HISTORICAL FACTS? Should we do this in every movie & TV show thread?Dumb & Dumber: "We landed on the MOON!"

Spoiler

we actually landed on the moon in 1969

Spoiler

Homeland: "An American POW has been turned by an Al Qaueda terrorist"

9/11

How many times does this have to be explained ON THE SAME PAGE?Not all historical facts = common knowledge.

Landing on the Moon = Common knowledge.

Nucky Johnson getting shot in the head by Al Capone = NOT common knowledge.

Are you failing to see the diferences here on purpose?

I don't see how the idea of how many people who know is particularly relevant to the overall discussion in regards to spoiler tags. The information of what happens to various factual characters isn't exclusive to the Boardwalk Empire script.

I dunno, poor form comes to mind. It's like someone reading the Game of Throne books and talking about them in the thread (before the events take place/dont take place) on the television show.

 

[Michael Brown]

Intellectual curiosity hasnt prompted anybody to look into these guys/the era?

I did I never heard of Rothstein, Nucky, or Lansky before.

But that's kinda the point. Not everyone wants to read up ahead of time to learn their stories. Some people want to let the show clue them into what happens. It's not like watching Pride of the Yankees or Titanic here. Nobody was watching Lou Gehrig and wondering "Oh man is he gonna make it???"

How many people (both sexes) under the age of 30 know who the hell Lou Gehrig is? Is this some sort of sports intellectual elitism?

Please tell me the story of the guy who died of Meyer Lansky's Disease

Of coarse it does.

Had I known that Nucky Johnson died in the 60's BEFORE watching the episode written around his assassination attempt, that would have kinda sucked. As will any should be tense moments involving Nucky getting killed, for the rest of the way through.

The time period that they are telling their tale is where they are taking their liberties. I doubt they'll go much into more established and well known eras of these men. In fact,....I'm pretty confident that.....

Spoiler

they'll never show you what happens to Lansky, Lucciano and Capone as all of these men expired long after the show's time period will be relevant. Honestly, are they going to show Luciano working with the Federal government during WWII. Is Capone going to be sitting in Alcatraz in this show...or Lansky living to a ripe old age as one of the wealthiest men in the nation

hmmm ... I don't want to know but I have already researched these characters. Nucky Thompson is techinically not a real character That being said I probably would not want to know but knowing I don't think would have made a difference since it's not a complete factual biography

 

[Leeroy Jenkins]

Let's keep any discussion of the show about what has happened on the show. There's no need to discuss what actually happened to some of these people.Minor spoiler below that most people already know about Capone.

Spoiler

For instance, Al Capone died of syphilis. If we see him with a gun to his head, that's not going to be very dramatic cause we know he makes it. His story is known though. If the same happens with Rothstein or Luciano or Lansky, people don't know those stories quite as well so let's allow those who aren't familiar with them to maintain suspense.

Spoiler

Good luck with that. Seems some here place the value of their need to flex their history cred over that of others enjoyment of the show. That horse has left the barn. Come and join me in The Official NO SPOILERS Boardwalk Empire thread, where at last look "we" were considering the sexual merits of one Esther Randolph.

Once again you can totally enjoy the show even though you know the real history of some of the characters. In fact it might help you enjoy it even more. Ex: a young Bugsy Siegel making a cameo, or how the Dempsey-Carpentier fight was one of the first examples of mass-media hyping what was pretty much a dog of a sporting event. The more you know...And the Ponzi reference.Half the greatness of the show is the accuracy to the times.

 

[shadyridr]

One more thing about this gamble...

This wasn’t like killing off some semi-main character. The best comparison that can be made IMO, would be like if Tony killed Chris-tofa after season 2 or 3 of the Sopranos.

This move is unprecedented, even for cable television shows (IMO).

Cant wait to see how it plays out.

I think it's somewhat precedented* by Game of Thrones.Edit: Leeroy Jenkins beat me.

____

*Not a real word.

Disagree... There were/are plenty of other intriguing enough characters on GOT to fill the void.

Boardwalk Empire has plenty of intriguing characters I wouldn't mind seeing more of. Especially Rothstein and Capone.

My only issue with that is 99% of the viewing audience knows what happens to these guys already. Of course that's if they follow the real life path.

 

[shadyridr]

I hope were not denied the scene when Nucky finds out he doesn't own the land.

I was assuming that cliffhanger will be easily solved for him. That priest isn't dumb enough to take nuckys land from him.

This isnt a storyline that interests me at all. We all know the road gets built.

Spoiler please

 

[Gr00vus]

Adding to the disappointment of Jimmy being whacked, was Buscemi's performance in what should've been a powerful moment for Nucky. He was completely succumbing to being a full on gangster and IMO I didn't get the sense that the scene was "big" enough due to Buscemi's lack of presence. It just didn't seem as intense as it should have been. He's a magoo thats trying to be a bad guy and hes not pullin it off, at least not yet. Anyone else feel that way or was it just the shock of seeing Jimmy take one in the face that I didn't grasp the whole thing? I'm going to rewatch it to see if my opinion remains on Buscemi.

I liked it except for the "I am not seeking forgiveness" part.

That part just confused me. He's not seeking forgivness (and Jimmy didnt seem to be asking for it) but Eli is standing there with him...I don't know, its just didnt seem right to me.

The point is that Nucky doesn't have a conscience - Jimmy was treating him as if he did. It's the other side of the conversation (lies) Nucky had with Margaret earlier. Jimmy never figured it out, Margaret finally did.

 

[Leeroy Jenkins]

I never heard of Nucky before this show either. But after watching it and the making of it last year I did some digging because I found it interesting. I knew much about Rothstein etc. already, but not in great detail. I think it makes things more interesting when you know the truth and then see how writers/directors use the facts and build a show around them etc.

I dont know, maybe it's just me, but when I like something or find it interesting, I want to learn more about it.

Game of Thrones, for example, after the first two episodes, I just wanted to know more about the characters and the backgrounds etc., so I bought the books and started to read them and asked lots of questions along the way. Why have things spoon fed to you?

 

[shadyridr]

Rothstein and the rise of young Al Capone is enought to bring me back for next year.

Because some of us have other interests. I'd rather spend that time studying Django Reinhart scales and music gear that I can apply to my own recordings. Or pounding Budweiser on the curling sheet. Doesn't mean I don't enjoy watching an HBO show an hour a week. And it also doesn't mean I won't read the book at some point. People have different priorities.

Asperger's syndrome (ɑːspərɡərz/[1], / æspərɡərz/[2] orˈæspərdʒərz/) Also known as Asperger syndrome or Asperger disorder, is an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) that is characterized by significant difficulties in social interaction, alongside restricted and repetitive patterns of behavior and interests. It differs from other autism spectrum disorders by its relative preservation of linguistic and cognitive development.

Including you, many. Social disorders sometimes go hand in hand with intelligence. Some of the smartest people I know simply don't know how to interact with people without seeming rude.
