xp yeah he might actually be my least favorite character, like if Omar toed the line of comic bookiness, Brother Mouzone stepped way over

xps to sarahell there's a character from the corner named bunchie boyd, fran boyd's sister/fellow addict, played by the woman who'd later play marla daniels

Season 2 is great because so much huge stuff is set in motion (and ultimately hindered) by Maj. Valchek's personal feud with Frank Sobotka.
this is way otm, the shot in e1 of valchek standing in front of the giant window staring up in disbelief+disgust became one of my favorite images in the show when i rewatched it knowing how absurdly consequential this part was

i have still not seen the sopranos, not really but the wire is so much better than mad men come on.

also the wire has like 900x as many hot dudes as mad men and the sopranos put together (i don't really know how many hot dudes there are on those shows except christopher moltisanti and jon hamm but i am p sure this is a conservative estimate.)

that was a very wire-like way to put it horseshoe

Love em equally as much, yet for such different reasons and appeal. Comparing the Wire and Mad Men seems so useless and trite tbh.

it's actually an angle I never much considered on the show, but actually yeah there are quite a lot of handsome dudes now that I think about it
there was that moment on the show when d'angelo's wife is trying to give stringer some of his old clothes and stringer's like, "naw I'm an XL" and she's like, "i bet you are." i was watching with my wife and i heard her go "mm." put me in my place.

first of all STRING
second of all the show is for real old school humanistic. that they're human is special (and chilling) enough.
― horseshoe, Tuesday, 13 January 2015 20:56 (nine years ago) link
the show really loves those characters (okay, not Marlo.)
the tight, slangy, jargony way everybody talks on the wire is so much fun
― goole, Tuesday, 13 January 2015 20:56 (nine years ago) link
The men are better looking than the women on that show.

I've found sentiments such as "You want it to be one way, but it's the other way" and "that's what you get for giving a fuck when it's not your turn to give a fuck" incredibly helpful at work.

The best-looking women are all pretty minor on the show too -- Nick Sobotka's wife, Donnette, McNulty's ex, I guess Teresa D'Agostino is hot in a sexy lizard sort of way.

Well, my point was exactly that if nobody's special, everybody is. Y'know, the reverse Incredibles. Though of course, Stringer and Omar is kinda the exception to the rule.

She was at my screening of Actress. So sad I forgot my dvd's, could have gotten them autographed.

she has cold eyes, in the character at least. it's good acting.

I watched the entire Sopranos run over the summer and it was good, but I don't think it compares favorably to The Wire. "the show really loves those characters (okay, not Marlo.)" - is really OTM and what sets it apart for me, and is also true of Generation Kill and even Treme. The Sopranos was... interesting, I guess, but no one outside of Tony was really worth caring about.
the best of the HBO run, for me, was Deadwood/Rome/Wire (then GK and Treme) - even when painfully flawed, each of those shows cared more about its characters as something more than plot movers.
― Kiarostami bag (milo z), Tuesday, 13 January 2015 21:25 (nine years ago) link
we have p drastically different standards apparently. I couldn't even make it to the end of S1 with Deadwood, the dialogue was all so terrible (and they killed the only character I liked p quickly anyway)
