― David R., Monday, 30 April 2007 19:49 (nineteen years ago)

PUT SEASON 4 ON DVD PLS

― Jordan, Monday, 30 April 2007 19:50 (nineteen years ago)

THAT TOO

tho I cd, as a s3 remedy, just shit or get off the pot re: the NetFlix movies I've had since 2005.

― Jordan, Monday, 30 April 2007 19:53 (nineteen years ago)

what?

― David R., Monday, 30 April 2007 19:53 (nineteen years ago)

Two years of netflix defeat?

― Jordan, Monday, 30 April 2007 19:54 (nineteen years ago)

Only 23 months!

― David R., Monday, 30 April 2007 19:56 (nineteen years ago)

my one prob w. s03 is that the hamsterdam project does seem like a kind of 'what if' scenario, breaking from the (what i imagine to be!) realism (to use a shitty word) of the rest of it. although on the commentaries they say such things have been attempted.

have to rerewatch w/ commentaries

― RJG, Monday, 30 April 2007 20:07 (nineteen years ago)

Solution for David:

DARK HORSE COMICS

MAR070018 THE WIRE SEASON 3 #1 $2.99

― Jordan, Monday, 30 April 2007 20:10 (nineteen years ago)

Ha, I watched that Q&A thing from season 3, and he said that to his knowledge nothing like Hamsterdamn has been attempted.

― Jordan, Monday, 30 April 2007 20:11 (nineteen years ago)

a) the 'what if' scenario of S3 is what's gr8 about it

b) lol "realism"

c) former mayor kurt schmoke (aka sir schmoke-a-lot...j/k) simply posed the idea of drug legalization

― am0n, Monday, 30 April 2007 20:23 (nineteen years ago)

oh yeah now i remember c)

don't get b) though. the show goes to great lengths to get details -- of municipal politics, the law, police procedure, and gang vernacular --right; or so i'm led to believe.

― That one guy that quit, Monday, 30 April 2007 20:30 (nineteen years ago)

This whole talk re: verisimilitude reminds me of the one WTF moment I had w/ s2: that out-of-the-blue fancy "I am tripping my balls off" camera move after Ziggy popped GG & the kid @ the store. As far as I can remember, directors have eschewed any showy camera crap, & just shot scenes as-is. (FWIW, the scene directly following, w/ Ziggy in the car & the radio on & his hand shaking, totally made up for that little lapse.)

Fucking Zig.

― David R., Monday, 30 April 2007 20:37 (nineteen years ago)

― Jordan, Monday, 30 April 2007 21:04 (nineteen years ago)

Which eps do Omar and McNulty do commentaries on?

― milo z, Monday, 30 April 2007 21:06 (nineteen years ago)

What the hell is this about a comic book version of "The Wire"!??!

― Oilyrags, Monday, 30 April 2007 21:07 (nineteen years ago)

I've had the entirety of S4 on my girlfriend's laptop for about a month now, but I can't bring myself to watch it on that tiny screen with terrible speakers.

xpost WHAT

― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Monday, 30 April 2007 21:07 (nineteen years ago)

I was just kidding Daver, relax ppl.

-- milo z, Tuesday, May 1, 2007 12:06 AM (11 minutes ago)

the one episode, on series two. the commentaries with david simon are just a little bit high-minded.

― That one guy that quit, Monday, 30 April 2007 21:19 (nineteen years ago)

herro Mcnulty's naked ass. although, when n. sobotka's gf's boobs popped on I also commented how nice they were. the wire has really nice round body parts going on.

― Yerac, Monday, 30 April 2007 22:02 (nineteen years ago)

The boobs on that one prostitute, tho, um, no.

― David R., Monday, 30 April 2007 23:29 (nineteen years ago)

Everyone on The Wire is beautiful in their own way. Even Horseface.

― David R., Monday, 30 April 2007 23:31 (nineteen years ago)

yeah i luvved the commentaries w/omar and mcnulty - it's all so very fly-on-the-wall pragmatic and luvvie and "oh you know she worked with [director x] afterwards" "oh really?" "whoa you remember THAT shot?" "yeah i could barely stop laughin"

― Tracer Hand, Monday, 30 April 2007 23:38 (nineteen years ago)

SPOTTED: lt./major daniels

― strongohulkington, Tuesday, 15 May 2007 19:06 (nineteen years ago)

looking just as intense walking down the street as he does banging the d.a.

― strongohulkington, Tuesday, 15 May 2007 19:06 (nineteen years ago)

NOTE TO SELF: QUEUE UP S3 ASAP

That shot of shirtless Lt. Daniels in S2 = WHOA

― David R., Tuesday, 15 May 2007 19:09 (nineteen years ago)

How come only McNulty looks like he's enjoying himself during sex?

I just deleted Season 4 off the hard drive without having watched it. I can't sit on the computer for an hour without getting distracted by other shit.

that is to tell teh extras where to find teh drugs

― strongohulkington, Tuesday, 15 May 2007 19:10 (nineteen years ago)

are they shooting that far downtown or is the arrow pointing to somewhere way up north?

― Alex in Baltimore, Tuesday, 15 May 2007 19:12 (nineteen years ago)

they were shooting around where the post office is, i think

― strongohulkington, Tuesday, 15 May 2007 19:13 (nineteen years ago)

the sequel to Bunny Colvin taking the kids to Ruth's Chris: Omar spends the afternoon at ESPN Zone. (xpost)

― Alex in Baltimore, Tuesday, 15 May 2007 19:13 (nineteen years ago)

i wonder how baltimore's most wire-happy alternative weekly will fit into this season's plot about THE MEDIAS

― strongohulkington, Tuesday, 15 May 2007 19:14 (nineteen years ago)

That shot of shirtless Lt. Daniels in S2 = WHOA

S3 will make you a happy man, then.

I've been wondering about this myself. Simon really tries to avoid painting things in black and white, but CP's been such an champion for the show. It'll be interesting to see how he handles it.

― kingkongvsgodzilla, Tuesday, 15 May 2007 20:10 (nineteen years ago)

i kinda assumed it would be all about The Sun (or some fictional stand-in paper) and maybe the local network affiliates' evening news. maybe there could be a scene of one of the higher-ups in City Hall reading Murder Ink and getting all pissed off?

― Alex in Baltimore, Tuesday, 15 May 2007 20:16 (nineteen years ago)

I've been out of MD for a few years, but as I remember it, City Paper was actually pretty decent when it came to things like, oh say, actual journalism. Is that a fair assessment or am I just being nostalgic?

Phwoar! Now I definitely can't wait! We just finished S2 THIS EVENING and I absolutely loved every single minute of it. I'd definitely rate it as high as S1. That said, I didn't notice S3 at the video store. boohoo. :-(

― stevienixed, Tuesday, 15 May 2007 22:20 (nineteen years ago)

BTW D'Angelo was in fucking TREES LOUNGE. I mean, the actor, not the character duh.

― stevienixed, Tuesday, 15 May 2007 22:21 (nineteen years ago)

More random Wire-related sightings as an excuse to revive this thread: Herc goes to my gym! In the 2 seconds it took me to think hey, that guy looks like someone on a TV show, and realize that show is The Wire and it must really be him, he looked up and I averted my eyes. I've heard they're shooting 'til August. Or maybe that's when they'll be done editing and everything?

Weird tidbit that I didn't realize until I read it on Wikipedia: apparently Herc is the only character who's been in every episode of the show so far. I don't expect that'll stay that way in Season 5, considering that he looked on the verge of losing his job in the last episode, but who knows.

― Alex in Baltimore, Wednesday, 30 May 2007 14:11 (nineteen years ago)

i think were gearing up for some sweet herc is a security guard now action

― jhøshea, Wednesday, 30 May 2007 15:03 (nineteen years ago)

I love the scene where him and Carver are at the movies on a double date and they bump into Bodie and Poot doing the same. But how much sweeter if Herc was tearing tickets at the box office?
