'Dirty Girls'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, flaming otters, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I do not watch The Wire
Ah, but you should! It's the best drama about how institutions imprison ordinary people EVAH.
but any excuse to give the US education system a good goose is fun.
It ought to be great. One of the show's creators was, besides being a Baltimore cop for x years, a public school teacher for a number of years, too.
I should watch The Wire. Several people whose taste I normally trust tell me it is fabulous. And did y'all say it's set in Baltimore? So much material for a critical analysis of the way the ed system works (and doesn't work). A friend of mine does some consulting with the Baltimore public school system's HR department and . . . let's just say it's disheartening with signs of encouragement interspersed.
As much as I detest Santino, his impersonation of Tim Gunn is spot-on:
I completely agree with this. I was amazed how good it was.
He's a much better Tim Gunn impersonator than he is a designer.
One of the show's creators (SIMON!)was, besides being a Baltimore cop for x years, a public school teacher (SIMON!)

Has anyone else noticed how Corwood Industries is kinda cute?
I'm at home so I can fully enjoy a migraine today, and when Oprah asked Anne Hathaway a question about her Brokeback character Anne replied, "I think it's pretty obvious."
I thought we were going to see a real-life version of those Debra Wilson MADtv sketches where someone disses Oprah and carnage and bloodshed result.
Timelies all!
The Wire is on my list of things to Netflix(egad, did I just use Netflix as a =verb=?) when my queue gets to a more manageable level.(Currently there are 99 disks in my queue)

Unfortunately, I look like Proposition Joe in real life. My kid, now he's the cute one.

That was yesterday's episode.
My Netflix queue = 414 movies as of right now.
Ugh. I can't believe that someone would pay $132 for that monstrosity Zulema unleashed on the world.
I tried to watch the cast of Brokeback Mountain on Oprah today, but then I learned that there a some impediments that even my love for Anne Hathaway will not overcome. Oprah gives me hives.
