That flashback was the one big note they've received from HBO.(/ The Wire likes gritty, urban carrots) And yes, I love how the Wire always uses stuff again. It makes it hard to introduce to non-fiends, however.I used to think DW was Australian because that's what overlaying Baltimore on top of London kind of sounded like, here in Arizona, land of the uniflected. He's pretty decent, now. Although not in the "No way...he's British?!" league with Hugh Laurie and Idris Elba.
Tara: Do you have any books on robots? Giles: Oh, yes, dozens. There's a lot of research to be done in order to--no, I'm lying. Haven't got squat. I just like watching Xander squirm.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
I just caught the most recent FLIGHT OF THE CONCHORDS and the "Bowie in Space" stuff just had me on the floor (especially the Let's Dance style stuff over the end credits).

I saw the first one on a podcast, and it had me on the floor laughing. It's like Tenacious D, but waaaay funnier.

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

Oh I love that song! Damn my non-HBO-getting ways!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

The video itself was a little bit literal but Jemaine's Bowie impression in the episode was spot-on.

Yes! I loved the "different eras of Bowie".

That's exactly how I feel. And I like the music WAAAAAY better.

I am loving Flight of the Conchords. It's really impressive how perfectly they can mock so many different styles of music.
Live album you say?

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Entourage: man, it sucks, that E is subsuming his own abilities for Vince. He's so used to it, though, that it seems natural to him. Fucking Walsh.

I kind of think E is right about Walsh and they'll get rid of him before the movie is made. Though it's kind of fun having the arch nemesis vibe. I'm curious about why E did come out west if it wasn't to produce.

Oh, it was definitely all for Vince. He never would have left his manager's gig at Sbarro's if Vinnie hadn't made him come out there--managing Vince was just an excuse Vince used to make him come. Lo and behold, he actually took to it. He only produced because it was Vinnie's movie, and he turned out to be good at that too. It's just in his nature, and his history, to let Vinnie take the spotlight.
