but i like it enough to *ahem* it(since i don't get HBO).
There was an article in the Sun yesterday about how HBO is upset about the bootlegging of the whole current Wire season. Some of it was about illegal downloading and there was some indignation about spoilers getting out and about on the internets but the part I thought was interesting is that people are selling bootleg DVDs in nightclubs in B'more as well as other big cities around the country. They are big sellers evidently.
Also, I had a very Wire-esque moment on my drive home yesterday. Saw a guy running and getting taken down by one uniform and one (I think) undercover cop in the parking lot of a grocery store. very dramatic for the afternoon commute.
not a lover, but i like it enough to *ahem* it(since i don't get HBO). i'm kind of hoping they'll spend a little bit more time on the teenagers storylines next season.
my favorite wife is margene.
I am tiggy, both with the teen storylines and the margene-love. It doesn't hurt that there is Lilly, Mac, and Beaver from Veronica Mars in the teen cast.
a surf noir family drama set in Southern California
As long as there's no undercover agent named Johnny Utah, I'll be there.
Here's more information from elsewhere:
HBO has ordered 12 episodes of Milch's latest drama John From Cincinnati, which will revolve around the seriously screwed up Yost family of Imperial Beach. Dad is a former surfing star, Mom is definitely dispirited, and their son is addicted to drugs. Enter John (um, from Cincinnati) who shows up at the Yosts looking for surfing lessons (rather mysteriously no less) as well as a guy who is looking for revenge against the Yosts for a personal vendetta. Hmmmm, is it a coincidence that the two men show up at the same time?
John From Cincinnati, which begins production next month, stars Austin Nichols, Bruce Greenwood, Rebecca De Mornay, Brian Van Holt, Matt Winston, Greyson Fletcher, Luis Guzman, and Ed O'Neill. (Talk about a great cast.) Series is expected to launch next summer.
I'll try it, I suppose.
Man, seriously fiending from lack of "Wire". After one week...how did I survive for a year and a half?
So was on the commuter train this morning, right near the door, and two fifty-something women get on at (I think it was) Swampscott, and I overhear:
Woman1:
mumble mumble...what's the name? Swearingen?
Woman2:
(in the affirmative) Swearingen.
Woman1:
Swearingen?
Woman2:
Swearingen.
Woman1:
Ok, Swearingen. I'll have to...mumble mumble
It took all my self control not to yell "Swingen!!" and hold up my crossed fingers right then and there. I did snort-laugh audibly.

I have a very good friend named Swearingen. It takes great restraint on my part not to do this very same thing every time I see her. I keep urging her to watch
Deadwood
so I can at least do it
once.
Last night we watched the Deadwood S1 finale.
Seth beats Alma's dad within an inch of his life! Seth and Alma get it on! Al looks out over the town, his guts probably twisting inside him as the magistrate shows up with the army, and he tries to figure out what the moves are for himself and everyone else. The magistrate's bag man returns and proves which side he's on. Al takes mercy on the poor preacher (gods what a scene that was!). Doc screams at God about the battlefields of the Civil War (I do so love watching Brad Dourif do bat-shit crazy).
And Seth takes up the badge again!
Heh, "There's a bloodstain on your floor."
Doc and Jewel dancing together.
And Al actually looks at Trixie for the first time in two episodes.
I can't wait for S2.... Oh right, I don't have to.

I swear(ingen!) it was not being 100% sure they were talking about DEADWOOD that prevented me. They didn't seem the DEADWOOD type, but you never, ever know.
