"The Wire" on HBO

haha i expected to be kind of put out by hearing grown men enthuse about breasts when i listened to the commentary, but it's actually kind of touching--they sound like they're thirteen. rapt.

so I stopped watching House a few eps into the latest season, and I haven't watched the last few weeks of Heroes. either my shows starting to suck at the same time, or The Wire ruined dramas for me. it's like sex on E.

Awesome abandoned set walk thru.

Are there spoilers in there? I saw something that looked like it could be a spoiler so I ran away and pretended I hadn't seen it. Nothing will ever be as bad as that spoiler which was in the Guardian's round up of 2008. Fuckaz.

there's something that could be misconstrued as a spoiler if you haven't seen the final season, but it's not actually a spoiler.

i remember going to an auction of Wire memorabilia, and in one display case they had the outfit Stringer wore in his final episode, with fake blood and bulletholes and everything, i never thought about it but that'd be a pretty big spoiler if someone walked up to that w/o having seen S3.

there are things there that look like spoilers but aren't and things that don't look like spoilers but actually could be. did i just blow your mind?

Hahaha some dude, that was a spoiler in itself!

But I dunno: even without a spoiler, I feel like I spent a season and a half expecting that to happen to Stringer, watching it gradually come to a head -- it felt like one of those inexorable dramatic fates that wouldn't really be spoiled by knowing it was coming, no more than it's a problem to watch an old tragedy knowing everyone's going to die.

yes totally except even though i knew it was coming i still haven't gotten over it.

some dude I am almost positive you already posted that story in this very thread

I know what to get you for your next birthday: I walked into an art gallery a while ago and there on the wall was a big portrait of Idris Elba, in an undershirt, kicking back and looking thoughtful.

Suddenly I was unsure why anyone would paint anything but actors who were on this show.

omg

sometimes you have to also paint Alan Rickman and Mos Def.

(whoa I didn't even mean to make another weird Baltimore reference there)

Hans Gruber portrait, yes; Mos Def looking down from my wall at me while I'm eating dinner, no

i want a group portrait of the entire terrorist team from die hard

tombot i'm almost certain i did too and almost included that caveat in my last post but was feelin too lazy to load the whole thread and look

I looked and you talked about going to the memorabilia show but didn't say anything about the shirt, must have been somewhere else

painting of al pacino in 'any given sunday'

i may have not mentioned that part before because of the spoiler element, who knows!

no you totally told that story somewhere on these boards because why would I know that story

because it sound intersting?

would hang up an oil painting of tracy morgan as thomas jefferson, on a horse

yeah there have been a fair number of other wire threads, i'm sure it's somewhere, let's not lose sleep over it

That makes sense, and I think the first thing I saw falls into the first category. Gah, I've only got 2 or 3 episodes left so really i should just leave anything Wire-talk-on-the-internet alone for a bit longer.

I just started watching this again for the third time. I am hopeless addict.

I noticed something in Episode 8 of Season 1 that I couldn't find confirmation of elsewhere and I wondered if anyone else could shed some light: at the end of the episode Bunk picks up a woman in a bar. Later Jimmy gets a phonecall and has to go rescue him. When he arrives he finds Bunk dressed in a pink dressing gown and trying to burn his suit. However is the woman Bunk seduces none other than Randy's foster mother from Season 4, Ms Ana? I could have sworn it was.

IMDB says no
