I stand by what I said about the dialogue in "Justified".

Posted by Mel Profit (aka Mel Profit) Feb 15 '11, 12:28

maybe I need time to get used to it but as it stands he's a pithy, snarky folksy phrase sayin' robot. No one talks like that. It borders on the loathsome Mamet-Speak. It went out with 80s action heroes.

At least "Deadwood" had the sack to go Shakespeare with similar dialogue.

I don't hate it. I can see why some love it. But I'm not an immediate fan.
