"The Wire" on HBO

Michael was also playing lacrosse in the 2 minutes of the new 90210 that I saw.

Michael as the new Omar and Dukie as the new Bubs was kind of awesome / sad / expected.

and randy as the next... bodie?

Don't forget Sydnor as the new McNulty

Biggest disappointment about the Season 5 DVD: hearing the actor who plays Norman's real voice (high pitched and whiny!) in the special features.

What? No. Smooth and deep. Here:

I'm watching the Wire all weekend at the Curzon in Soho! SO HYPED!

pls let Dominic West be in character at the bar after.

So here's what I know so far:

Season 1 = about the drug trade
Season 2 = about the port
Season 3 = about how Daniels looks with his shirt off

Season 4 = how Daniels looks like in a kepis.

Season 5 = How McNulty looks in a spacesuit.

Rawls: "McNulty, you've done good work here, and I just want to make sure you don't end up where you don't want to be."

cut to Freamon watching through porthole as McNulty picking up space-junk. "You never learn, McNulty."

Seriously, though, that guy must work out a LOT

Yeah, he has one of those comic book hero bodies.

Saw Freamon on the way out of Chris Rock at the Apollo; dude couldn't walk five steps without someone giving him love. He's a smooth dude.

let's not custos the wire thread, gents

Aren't you supposed to be packing up your stuff?

anyway I laughed at thought of mcnulty in space suit

but of course I would

only thing i'm taking with me is my name, el-t ^_^

Saw Rawls again at brunch -- think it must be his regular place/time.

ha hah ha - awesome!

For the record, he was with a woman that looked to be his wife or SO.

Doesn't mean you can't hit on him.

Just finished this yesterday.

*spoiler*
there's no way that they keep shitty reporter's stuff quiet in the newsroom. You can't just ship the two people off and tell 'em to shut up. That feels like Simon's grudge against Evil Newspaper Bosses coming through. Loved that final EP though; way more satisfying than I thought it would be after ep 9.

I haaaaaaaaate the bad reporter so much that I hate the actor too

he did direct that bad "the visitor" film so maybe he deserves it

Homina homina homina December 9!!!

Product Details
Actors: Wire
Format: Box set, Color, DVD-Video, NTSC
Language: English, Greek

I'm betting that with the economic situation I'll be able to find used copies under $100 post-Christmas.

Season 1 = about the drug trade
Season 2 = about the port
Season 3 = about how Daniels looks with his shirt off

Season 4 = about how this all becomes WAY more vexed and depressing when you factor in loads of children

Loads of children + Daniel with his shirt off = recipe for disaster

season 4 was my favorite season. Those kids were amazing.

keep seeing this maryland lottery commercial with the bodie actor

:/

Actor getting paid = good

Brits are obsessed with this show.

Much of Lance Reddick's young life was spent with instruments, not acting; he studied piano as a kid, and majored in classical composition at the Eastman School of Music. He switched to pop upon graduation, then turned to stage acting to further his music career, eventually attending Yale's drama school.

wow!

i didn't know any composition majors who found time to get to gym that much

Xpost: get a load of this click on musician, obviously

"i didn't know any composition majors who found time to get to gym that much"

I don't know anyone who hasn't spent time in prison who has found the time to go to the gym that much.

Honestly. There is an intimidating amount of certifiable Greek-God statues on that show.

I mostly remember Reddick. Who is else is similarly ridiculously built? I guess McNulty is in better shape than you could reasonably expect a guy who drinks that much and of that age to be.

he talks a good song

Nice Anwan Glover (Slim Charles) interview:

Otherwise, Stringer, which I guess is no surprise, and also Avon, more so than you'd imagine (not to mention he enormous hands). And I think Bodie Not to the level of Daniels, though. These things stand out when you spend months in your basement watching it, stagnant and eating unnecessary amounts of chocolate.

Xxpost, that is.

I used to go to the same gym as Herc, I never saw him close up but I bet he's a lot more built than he seems on TV.

slim charles was my favorite guy but i don't really know why, he wasn't that important! i guess because he is huge and quiet.

like a bear, almost

he's definitely a kind of innately likable guy.

it's the voice, I think. he's on the radio sometimes here in DC. also, he might be the only character, pretty much everything he says & all the advice he gives in the series is OTM. i watched all these episodes a year ago but pay attention to slim charles, whenever a guy doesn't follow his advice bad stuff happens.

he's the one who killed cheese, right?

love that guy
