I'd be remiss if I didn't say: S4 of The Wire (starting Sunday).
Niska: Mr. Reynolds? You died, Mr. Reynolds. Mal: Seemed like the thing to do.

Buffista Movies 5: Development Hell
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
The Chorus is a great little movie, but the kids are elementary aged. Don't know if that makes a difference.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

It took me a few blinks to realize this wasn't a suggestion for Suzi.

It is! Wasn't the request for film about the education system? Given how realistically The Wire's handled everything else about the public sector, I strongly believe that this season will provide the most realistic depiction of inner-city education ever set to film.

Duhhhh. I'd completely forgotten that was going to be the focus.

Corwood, babe, if there wasn't a Mrs. Corwood, and assorted laws of time and space to consider, I believe I'd bend you over a patrol car for that. And not just cause I'm gonna have a hard time with both less McNulty and trying not to make Pres a woobie. Yes, The Wire's all about the kids this year. Junior- high kids.

And Snoop! Snoop's a major character this time around.

Long as you're gentle. It's my first time.

Well, yeah, you know I want that shit to be special. ETA: I better shut up or they'll chase me back to Hamsterdam.

erika, Corwood - did you see Tim Goodman's love letter to The Wire?

Oh, yeah. Never have I seen a critic go so fanboy! If I didn't love that show so much myself, I'd call him a punk-assed bitch, probably.(probably just in my head...I'd hate for our e-correspondence to turn so ugly. He thinks I'm clever cause our obsessions match.) But, all the same he sounds about one pixel from writing "Tim Goodman- Simon" in his notebook. But is that something about me, or the culture right now that his love is more awkward to me than Stephanie Zacherek's movie reviews of what sucked out loud this week? Maybe it's like Colin Firth said in "Fever Pitch": Adults aren't supposed to be mad about anything. What do y'all think? And he may be trying to save the show through passion itself, something to which I can't relate(cough) The Wire likes carrots.(Cough)
