"The Wire" on HBO

More than creepy: frightening.

laugh track

Unfair and lame. That scene's funny without a laugh track.

I just finished the first season of "The Wire" yesterday and had to rewatch select parts of the episodes over again. This show is poetic. This show is epic. Man, once I watched that chess scene between D'Angelo, Wallace (R.I.P.) and Bodie I was sold: "The king stay the king". This show is so quotable.

What's poetic about that scene is how wrong Bodie is. :)

actually, xpost to myself, i meant d'angelo, not bodie, but you knew that

Munch! Munch! Munch!

Finally got around to this show - I'm up to episode 5 tonight if I get my other shit done.

dag I totally should've responded as soon as i saw that ad, hesitated and waited :(

you could probably still respond. i think the ad said they were filming up to the end of august

LOLZ at hurting gettin' wire hooked.
I've got 3 and 4 on DVD fer computer, hit me up.

From what I've read, it seems that the season 4 dvd set will be out around Christmas, a couple months before season 5 begins.

that is so awesome that bunny's deputy is the real life jay landsman. in homicide, landsman was just amazing -- the funniest fucker there was.

am0n maybe email me w/ the text of the ad before it got taken down if you have it, i only procrastinated because i don't have many photos i can submit but i'm sure i can dig something up.

i don't have the ad but check yr email

One thing that strikes me about a show is the degree of respect with which the drug business is treated - like finally someone recognizes that this is sophisticated organized crime and not just a bunch of dudes in skullcaps looking menacing on a corner.

I know that's a strange way to put it, but I always felt there was a huge disparity between the excessive respect lavished on the mafia and the condescension to black gangs.

Just read in the current Esquire that Steve Earle has a role this upcoming season.

he's been in it before, as a drug counselor

o whoa, he's *Waylon* - I knew that dude looked familiar

Did anyone see that Lance "Lt. Daniels" Reddick is going to have a recurring role as a villain on the next season of Lost? Kinda rad, especially since Lost and The Wire are going to be on more or less simultaneously, thus giving us a double dose of that guy.

i didn't realize that was earle. makes sense i guess since he was a notorious addict iirc

I think this was mentioned on the thread already but Earle recorded "Way Down In The Hole" for the Season 5 theme, too.

lance reddick as a villain sounds amazing

he was kinda the bad guy in "The Corner"

as long as there are no sex scenes a la wire season three we'll be ok

u know u loved it
