Going back to S4, what did Cutty say to the Latino landscape workers? I assume something about fornicating with someone's mother?

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 just watched all of season 1 in the space of like 48 hours. Very good! Are the other seasons as good as the first?

Better, even.

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.

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?
― Leee, Thursday, 27 December 2007 20:14 (sixteen years ago) link
Yeah. It is full of spoilers or just a promo puff piece?
― jeff, Thursday, 27 December 2007 20:16 (sixteen years ago) link
"Is it"
some spoilers, people talking about what they were aiming for w/ this season

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?
― tehresa, Thursday, 27 December 2007 20:46 (sixteen years ago) link
tvtorrents.com
― milo z, Thursday, 27 December 2007 20:52 (sixteen years ago) link
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.
― adam, Monday, 31 December 2007 20:26 (sixteen years ago) link
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.

also lol @ baltimore sun tv critic guy bitching about criticism of baltimore sun on tv. nothing too spoilery
― adam, Monday, 31 December 2007 20:43 (sixteen years ago) link
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.

Thank you for this; I'm really looking forward to going home tonight. 6 and 7 appear to have leaked as well; once 3 and 4 hit, it's party time.

I got all excited and started downloading eps 1&2 last night before remembering I haven't seen Season 4 yet.
:(

You have nothing to feel bad about. Season 4 is a revelation as to the potential of what television can be.

friend watched 1 and said good -sets everything up for the season. i am getting so antsy!
