um, deej, watch the new trailer
― milo z, Tuesday, 18 December 2007 20:54 (sixteen years ago) link
I believe that a ton of screeners of every episode of S4 in full were sent out way early largely because they were campaigning hard to get enough press for HBO to renew the show for one more year. Now that they've accomplished that and this is the last season, there don't seem to be screeners of the whole season out early this time around, or at least they're not as rampant as last time, which I'm kinda glad for. Everyone can experience the new episodes together, one at a time.

I love that for a large portion of the LA crowd I know, this show represents the ENTIRETY of their understanding of the city of Baltimore.
SO skewed.

well yeah its also basically a dead unit where I am anyway so someone saying "they're shutting down major crimes!!!" or something in the middle of a trailer doesnt mean very much out of context
― deej, Tuesday, 18 December 2007 22:13 (sixteen years ago) link
haha how many times has major crimes been setup/shutdown at this point?

Going back to S4, what did Cutty say to the Latino landscape workers? I assume something about fornicating with someone's mother?
― Leee, Wednesday, 19 December 2007 17:01 (sixteen years ago) link

There was an awesome documentary about Melvin Williams, the preacher guy who used to be a drug kingpin in real life, on BET tonight. Check it out if you can, it's pretty cool.

I got my dad & stepmom the season 1 dvds. It was weird watching the first episode again. I was really conscious of there were a few "fucks" in every single line, couldn't tell if it was because I was watching with my folks or because it was a little gratuitous at first.
― Jordan, Thursday, 27 December 2007 17:29 (sixteen years ago) link

I have seen TWO S5 preview specials.
One included the line "he feared and hated me, I merely wanted him dead" which I'm sure is quoting something/someone but can't place it.

You talking about "The Last Word," jeff?

Yeah. It is full of spoilers or just a promo puff piece?

Sis and bro-in-law brought first 3 discs of s4 home for xmas. Now I'm thinking of rewatching all 4 seasons during my winter break. Also: what's the best place to dl or torrent new episodes once they start airing?

tvtorrents.com

TVT is fast and well-seeded, but you have to upload right off the bat to get a positive ratio to download.
― Leee, Thursday, 27 December 2007 20:59 (sixteen years ago) link
eztv.it <- the best.

season 5 premiere on hbo on demand. it is very good.
the new orleans times-picayune had an article last year about david simon et al making an effort to use new orleans music on the wire--hence the s4 montage to (the shitty cover version of) "walk on gilded splinters." new ep has "mother-in-law." one more reason for wire love.

yeah, the guy who plays Bunk is from New Orleans and I believe he and the show have been involved in a number of post-Katrina fundraiser-type things.

the first seven episodes made available for preview
ok, so they're previewing this season a little less than the last one, but not by much (especially since this season is the shortest yet, only 10 episodes).
― Alex in Baltimore, Monday, 31 December 2007 20:48 (sixteen years ago) link
bunk did a waiting for godot production in a fema park or something in n.o. i think.

yeah he did, in the lower 9th ward on a street corner. like 1200 people showed up (i was working, sadly) and everyone was raving about it for a while. whether that's because it was really good or because we are really starved for that kind of stuff right now i can't say. it was still an awesome idea.
― adam, Monday, 31 December 2007 20:52 (sixteen years ago) link
Premiere already HBO On Demand apparently.
