Yesterday I watched "Dead Soldiers" again. Sniff. Simon gives good commentary too...not pretentious for the sake of it nor devolving into silliness. Although I still enjoyed the goofy "Deadwood" ones because Oliphant is so the anti-Bullock.
Yes. Lucky for you, people may be in danger.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I know, isn't he? Such a goofus. And he and Ian McShane should totally take their act on the road.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Huh. I haven't checked out any of my DEADWOOD commentaries yet. I may need to rectify that.

Wrod. The writers' ones are instructive, Frank. The actors just cut up. It's fun, though. The silliest Wire one is Season Two, Domenic West and Michael K. Williams(Omar). Omar laughed his butt off about the story about how Wendell Pierce rescued DW after he found out Black Americans do not think "cracker" means "really exciting and cool." They'd talk about something else for a while, but MKW broke up laughing again...he has a great laugh, which he hardly gets to use as Omar: Last Man Standing and shit.

Dan Dougherty (W. Earl Brown) was also a staff writer on the show. Huh.

Yeah, he was a great writer, egoless enough to write episodes where Dan only had perfunctory appearances.

And this talk of good commentary means I need to go back and rerent all of what I've watched so far, to catch the commentary tracks.

I just caught up with the last two Sopranos episodes. It really does have an elegiac feeling, and the hints of The Godfather and The Godfather Part II are nicely handled.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Entourage: It can only end poorly that Vinny and his hot-ass agent may fuck. God, he knows better, but he thinks with his dick.
I loved how close Ari got to crying, though. That was hilarious--staring at the picture of Vincent and himself mistily. And his wife doesn't even blink at the feelings Ari has for Vinny, or the fact that it was basically a breakup.
