"The Wire" on HBO

just like plenty of scenes involving omar go past what i can tolerate in terms of the violation of the parameters of reality

You know, if you wanted Omar to hew more to the life of his real-world counterpart, he would've lived and hooked up with Khandi Alexander.

This is pretty good: http://hoodedutilitarian.com/2011/03/when-its-not-your-turn-the-quintessentially-victorian-vision-of-ogdens-the-wire/

Herc is now following me on Twitter.

Link doesn't work for me, Stevie, looks good. (and pertinently amusing given my blethering last week about Victorian realism/workplaces/The Wire).

I wouldn't worry about it Eazy. They only had one good codebreaker, skinny white dude called Prezlewski or something -- he quit the force after shooting another cop lol. I hear he's teaching at Tilghman Middle!! That'll go well.

I think they had a surge in visitors and must have bandwidth issues. Here's the googlecached version of the article:

ha stevie u beat me

Eric Holder demands another season, "or a movie."

Since when did Reuter start carrying items from The Onion?

The Attorney-General's kind remarks are noted and appreciated. I've spoken to Ed Burns and we are prepared to go to work on season six of The Wire if the Department of Justice is equally ready to reconsider and address its continuing prosecution of our misguided, destructive and dehumanising drug prohibition.

So you're saying there's a chance?

well played

no joke

this (cancelled) canadian show 'intelligence' is pretty hot shit—wire fans might find it interesting/entertaining.

it builds up steam pretty slowly like the wire, and doesn't have all that much love to it, certainly not the sense of humor, nor the sense of locality (i kind of recognize vancouver in it occasionally, but it seems to leave out a lot of the city), but it's pretty non-stop by the end of the first season. (i mean, it it is all the way up to then too, but by the end every 20-second scene seems like it might be the one where the whole thing falls apart.)

oh and it's on netflix instant watch.

the second season has a little bit more of a vancouvery look, although it doesn't seem nearly asian enough and the show seems to never leave the city center.

the main agent mary's #2 turns out to be pretty droll too.

If it's cancelled, does it at least resolve in a satisfying way?

people really like saying "bodymore, murderland" huh

nope, not really, but it's reasonable.

why are you watching icarly, man?

kid's voice is sooo weird

!

i've never seen icarly

thats a really big wire spoiler, in case anyone's never seen it

yeah be sure to keep an eye out for the fat white kid.

he's thinner in the earlier seasons.

wow, amazing that they got away with that

it's just strange.

i was doing some filing work in a hospital in west baltimore recently, kept myself entertained one night by seeing how many surnames of characters from the wire i could find in the patient files (iirc i got at least five: stanfield, barksdale, daniels, sydnor, little).

I started watching iCarly with my niece, but now I actively enjoy when she nowhere around. Good, funny show with lots of references like The Wire one.

ugh, my brain-to-fingers passage must be blocked.

Richard Price cribbed a good amount of dialogue for the Wire from Clockers, mostly stuff that didn't get used in the film, like "big paws on a puppy."

Just started reading this. Also:

Season 3 exchange w/Herc and Justin about where to buy sideways hats

and the classic Carver/Herc/Dozerman meet Bodie/Poot coming out of the movie theater

that tumblr has way too many http://www.ilxor.com/ILX/ThreadSelectedControllerServlet?boardid=77&threadid=82861 vibes for me to feel okay about it

that tumblr has way too many pop culture photoshop-themed tumblr vibes for me to feel okay about it

i really liked the 40 degree day one.

that tumblr has way too shitty a name for me to click on it

i found one or more of them funnier than a picture of aziz ansari holding an umbrella

come on, being a parks and rec superfan and enjoying wire-themed inspirational poster photoshops are pretty much the same action

from the celebrity sightings thread:

Tray Chaney selling his autobiography on the corner of F and 13th streets, NW. He had a guy along with him just saying over and over again "Poot from The Wire! Poot from The Wire!"
