P.S. Why do I get the feeling Elba will be playing an equivalent of the other-branch manager on the UK version, cool-guy Neil?
― nabisco, Thursday, 15 January 2009 22:39 (fifteen years ago) link
It's been a long time since I saw the UK version, so I don't remember Neil, but wasn't the manager of the Stamford Branch supposed to be kind of a cool guy?

i wonder if they'll make any jokes about amy ryan's character that will blow nab's and jaymc's minds

Are they called "The Wire Chronicles?" They should these really short, almost-amusing vignettes about, like, Omar and Prop Joe as kids, or when Bunk and McNulty met -- not much to them except mild chuckles about them being very "in character," but they're like a couple minutes each, so it's not a big investment.

Actually to be honest the only worthwhile thing in them is a kid doing a decent impression of Prop Joe's looking-over-one-shoulder mannerism

― horseshoe, Thursday, 22 January 2009 21:58 (fifteen years ago) link

― 8====D ------ ㋡ (max), Thursday, 22 January 2009 21:58 (fifteen years ago) link

― horseshoe, Thursday, 22 January 2009 21:59 (fifteen years ago) link

yes you can do that--pretty sure there is a part of the bible about how thats ok
― 8====D ------ ㋡ (max), Thursday, 22 January 2009 21:59 (fifteen years ago) link
homemade cookies are always a nice present--way better than a boring old set of DVD's
― Mr. Que, Thursday, 22 January 2009 22:00 (fifteen years ago) link
yes you can do this but you have to tell her what you did
― MIRV Griffin (goole), Thursday, 22 January 2009 22:00 (fifteen years ago) link

― horseshoe, Thursday, 22 January 2009 22:05 (fifteen years ago) link
Was it old Degrassi or new-school Degrassi?
― nabisco, Thursday, 22 January 2009 22:26 (fifteen years ago) link

I'm on two episodes a night. Can't stop. So many other things I should be doing, but all I want is more Wire.

A lot of complaints about the packaging on Amazon. Maybe I'll wait for them to re-package?
