erika, I t heart your mother.
Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

Me too...though we're a lot less Rory and Lorelai and a lot more Munch & Stanley. ETA:Link to awesome, though long, Simon interview: [link] Thought the fans might love it and it might intrigue those of you who have not found The Wire love. Yet. Simon's still mine, though. Bad enough I have to share him with that other blonde mystery-writing chick, you know? Oh, and Baltimore, of course.

Stephen King's column in EW this week is all about The Wire. I can't find it online, alas.

Just finished S3 of The Wire with my wife. Waiting not-so-patiently for tomorrow to catch the Deadwood end of fucking all.

Entertainment Weekly sucks cock by choice, in that their online things are subscribers only. I missed Deadwood too...also hip to "Why couldn't they wait?" not to be a fannish punk-assed bitch, or anything, especially as I was late to the fuckin' soiree and all. It must cost a lot...not that I mean that in a bad way. But that kind of period detail and stuff don't come cheap. But okay, *don't* run Monster-in-Law fifty million times...we'll all live.

I am not sure how I feel about the last ep of Deadwood.
I am actually a little anxious about Entourage right now. All the agents making the same pitches, and then Ari's pitch being the same, too - unexpectedly sad.

Well, I'm more pissed at HBO, that's for sure. That had a lot of loose ends for a season finale, let alone a series. Those DEADWOOD movies better happen, but, even if they do, there's a lot of ground to cover.
In a related note, I was watching some of the extras on the last disc of season 1 DEADWOOD, and it was interesting that Bullock later worked closely with/for Teddy Roosevelt, given that one of TR's claims to fame was taking on "captains" of industry not unlike Hearst.

Those extras were really interesting, weren't they? So many seem like afterthoughts because the audience has come to expect them. But then of course in Season 2's disc, Olyphant does a commentary that's completely silly(but it's worth a few minutes because it shows he's...like the anti-Bullock in real life.) Bullock reminded me of Tim Bayliss this season, some...though I'm not saying I need a I'd Shag Seth Bullock t-shirt.

Yeah, that was an excellent line.
