Great news! Cinemax has decided to put the full pilot of The Knick , directed by Steven Soderbergh (Magic Mike, Oceans 11/12/13, Solaris, Traffic) on Youtube. And it’s not even geoblocked! Haven’t heard of the Knick? It’s stars Clive Owen and takes place at New York’s Knickerbocker Hospital at the turn of the 20th century. Which is well before “modern medicine”.

Just not with children in the room. Or while you’re eating.
Oh, and bonus Canadian points as it also stars Edmonton’s own Eric Johnson!

It’s a little strange to me that after all the progress we’ve made in the world the story of Liberace is still too gay for America, even though there’s nothing much there that you haven’t already seen in Brokeback Mountain and others.
It’s a shame too because Behind the Candelabra is a great movie, and this way you might not get a chance to see it.

I’ve embedded the player and some thoughts after the jump.
