I fell off hard after his death.

Nothing afterwards really felt like it had the same impact.

Aparently Michael Pitt was unbearable and the whole crew hated him so they wrote him out. The show does pick up but Jimmy's death left a huge void that was never filled.

its worth watching for some of the new characters they bring in like michael shannons character and al capone

but them making fucking bug eyes the main character was pretty meh when the whole of the first season seemed to be prepping up jimmy as the MC for the show

This is also true for Hannibal, they got someone else to be Mason in S3.

He is a good actor but it's amazing he finds work being such a piece of shit.

lol what sort of stuff is he known to do that makes him a piece of shit?

what is he supposedly like irl?

>[Pitt was] late a lot (this costs production money), [he had] trouble remembering lines (they had to reshoot an entire scene because he couldn’t remember his lines…this costs production money), [was] constantly questioning his character’s storyline, tried to change dialogue a lot, would wander from the set, got into a little fist fight with William Forsythe during the Jimmy death scene, etc. They had plans for him and Angela’s character but they pretty much just got tired of him.

I don't think anyone has come forward to defend him so it's not hard to believe.

He WAS basically the main character and that was the problem.

Season 2 should've focused more on Nucky if they were planning on killing off Pitt's character. Instead in order of importance it was Pitt first then Kelly MacDonald then Nucky then Michael Shannon's character.

That said Season 3 was only decent thanks to Bobby Cannavale. After that it's just weak before season 5 completely shit the bed because the show runners wanted to finish up to move on to Vinyl.

>They had plans for him and Angela’s character but they pretty much just got tired of him

This....actually makes a lot of sense now.

Half her scenes in the second season were just aimless shit to establish she had a new dyke girlfriend. Always thought it was a waste of time if they were going to kill her off anyway.

doug stanhope says hes a heroin addict, he got in a fist figh with manny horzitz actor when they were shooting his death scene

>Yeah he’s a prick and a racist I may or may not have punched him in his face last night as he yelled about “fuckin peurto rican trash” in a peurto rican owned bar in bushwick brooklyn. I’m Australian but the owner is a friend of mine when we escorted him out of the bar he then lashed out screaming random obscenities at everyone in earshot. I already had busted knuckles so I let him off easy but the guy needs it more often apparently.

Its still good after but definitely a drop in quality. He was the best character.

Officially: the writers realized killing him off was the only storytelling decision that had integrity and made sense in the context of the show.

Unofficially: Michael Pitt is a terrific actor but also a pain in to ass to work with.

Season 3 is the best season of the series

It's worth watching all of it apart from the last season

Pitt is very hard to work with as others said, he2s also great actor. I think even though he fucked up and got himself fired from the show, second season was one of the best things on tv. Jimmy's downfall was art, man. Show was never the same after his death.

Also originally it eas going to be the admiral vs nucky and Jimmy being in the middle, but the guy playing admiral got sick and it had to be jimmy. It's sad because that conflict would've been perfect.

Pitt needs to get in a long rehab and therapy. The guy is fucking his life

Season 2 was going to be The Commodore vs Nucky which was clearly implied by the finale of Season 1 and the intro where we see The Commodore as being healthy as an ox.

Then the actor Dabney Coleman had cancer, resulting in him being unable to carry out the physical performance neccessary. So he had a stroke and was confined to a bed for the rest of the season and instead it became Jimmy vs. Nucky. Here's the full article on that: news.avclub.com/dabney-colemans-real-life-cancer-affected-boardwalk-emp-1798233870

To have Jimmy become the boss and then fall back down was silly, there was nowhere left for the character to go. His death was logical conclusion even though it felt like a punch in the gut. To the lost.

I fucking hate his baby face, glad he got shot.

To the lost, brother.

I didn't continue watching it after jimmy died, can't see a reason to do so. He was a good character tho

Fucking hell so much of the shitiness of season 2 is making sense now

>muh producers
>muh money
that's why we don't have original shit anymore

OURGUY

ie: he wouldn't blow some producer

>it's a Hollywood colludes to slander someone who wouldn't do what they wanted episode

how many women did her rape? 50? 100?

This is how i too would act for the rest of my life if i got to hit prime eva green

gyp rosetti is great

season 3 is the best

He wasn't fired he quit the show but yes, apparently he's a massive douche

>That said Season 3 was only decent thanks to Bobby Cannavale

I'd call it a lot better than just "decent". Bobby playing Gyp Rosetti brought out one of the best villains I had seen on television in a long time.

sure he is.

Because we all know everything coming out of Hollywood is accurate and trustworthy.

Why is he such a prick irl? His career is basically finished.

Only Vinyl failed.

Jimmy was the best. Luciano closely followed and Eli

>the whole of the first season seemed to be prepping up jimmy as the MC for the show
What? Did you watching the opening title? It's Nucky standing on the beach.

Schlomo you're really laying it on thick.

irl Pitt is probably a stand up dude who wanted nothing more to do with the freaks in Hollywood.

jimmy, nucky and muy cheeldren were the worst parts of the show.

so many great side characters though

>get the easiest job in the world that pays fuck you money
>get fired several times because you can't stop being an insufferable asshole

Is he trying to walk in brando's footsteps?

Does he have a limp irl? he walks the same way in Ghost in the Shell

Well then maybe he should have pulled a Charlie Sheen and started naming them.

he probably likes being alive.

>the easiest job in the world

lel go act in front of a crew for 12 hours every day if it's so easy

go work a construction job you piece of shit

Every time I pass a construction site, the workers are all just standing around. It takes them two years to build a small bridge.

Should have stayed in your country spic

yes, but the faggots in make-uo acting....they're the ones really putting in sweat equity.

Fuck off.

oh yeah?

goes downhill hard after season 2

I dropped it after he died, he was too central to the show

BASED!

All the best actors are troubled alcoholics... and white.

I would if i had the talent this junkie had. There are tons of citations of famous actors saying that it's an easy gig. Compared to some jobs ive had, it's a lot easier on both your body and your mental health.

No watch the superior Vinyl instead.
>inb4 muh cancellation
First season works as a kino miniseries don't worry.

Yea it does. But boardwalk was better.

Pitt probably was into sleeping with women of a legal age. So he had to go.

>By: Thatfuckingguy
Literally who? The guy who played Manny isn't Australian.

I mean, sometimes it's true. What people keep saying doesn't mean much unless it actually matches with job offers.

Nigga please. Look at all the lowlifes and degenerates active in Hollywood.

Not getting work is a credit to your charchter in that deprived modern day Sodom.
