Ilona Costa Bianchi ,'The Girl in Question'
[NAFDA] A thread for the discussion of all original programming on HBO, Showtime, Starz and other premium channels.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
I am apparently lisah. Which is pretty damn cool, I must say.
It makes a lot of sense to me that Michael would model himself Omar, so seeing him start down that is just, yeah, of course. How successful he will be with it is another question, but we don't see that.
Just to be clear, I didn't have a problem with the idea of Michael emulating Omar, but the execution was poor, I thought, because I don't get Michael suddenly carrying a double-barreled shotgun or making quips. Too sudden.
Right, Corwood. What I took away was that 1) we don't really know how much time has passed so Michael may have had time to develop his schtick.
and (or possibly) or 2) the stories of Omar are legendary. It makes sense that Michael might start off by imitating him.
Oh! Was that Randy with him?
Or was that just my mind?
lisah - I believe at least 6-12 months had passed.
Maybe I'm not as white as they think. I don't care about being spoiled. But I do appreciate the tribute in y'alls whitefont. If he thinks that is a curse, he should trying being asked about shit like Terri Schiavo by total strangers. Dag. But I suppose nobody'd read a blog called stuff ABs like.
Still loving The High Hat shout-out.Of course, any cool I get from it is just by association, but...and "fan service" sounds like he bent you over a radio car.(Thanks, Corwood, for the episodes. Now I want pepper steak.)
My pleasure!
But now you have to read my thoughts. I think this season would be better if Templeton were not such a one-note asswipe. I usually can count on Simon to find humanity in unexpected places, but watching Templeton, I expect him to grow a mustache so he can twirl it. ETA: OMG. "She didn't know what "et al" meant so she filed them all under the same number." Argh.
Caught the two episodes of John Adams, and I must say the history geek in me totally loved it. Paul Giamatti was superb in a role I never in a million years would have picked him for back when I first saw him in movies. Laura Linney was great as Abagail. Tom Wilkinson was a good choice for Franklin. The other surprise was David Morse as George Washington, another role I never would have picked the actor for that worked really well. There was some make up involved, but it was still a bit uncanny watching him.
