The Wire

[ice grillin you]

i dont post much on there cause i hate new hip-hop and everything that needs to be said about the golden age already has but its a great board

yeah, i went into the Slept on album and put up some that i like, and found some great ones on there, i have like 15 cd's i have waiting to DL when i get home

oh shtein it will be incredible for you then...go on the troy board...they post some amazing shtein on there

I always love the scene where Omar goes to prision, and the guy who looks like a Goomba from Mario Brothers walks up to Omar and gives him a phonebook and a bunch of books to protect himself from shanks. 

That was a great scene and one I forgot all about.

Two great scenes from this past season were when McNulty got into the elevator with Daniels in the finale. Also when the psychologist is explaining the characteristics of the serial killer and he's describing McNulty. There are so many subtle smaller scenes that get overlooked that its almost impossible to pick just 10.

so true...one of the great things about the show was how funny it was for being so miserable...murder...drugs...corruption...unemployment...ect...yet it was hilarious

some of my favorites

herc asking Spider where he gets the hats that go sideways....really anything with herc carver and fuzzy

bodie riding up to philly and making the comment that he didn't know they have different radio stations once you leave baltimore.....so funny and so poingnant at the same time....classic


obviously not funny but namonds mom calling him a bitch for not going to baby booking was a great as well

how about the first scene ever for the series? "you got to, this america man" pretty much summed up the entire show.

also i didnt notice at first but the scene bunk and kima investigate at the end (bunk repeats "givin a farg when it aint your turn to give a farg") is the same place gant got shot in the pilot, the guy who fingered d'angelo in the murder.

1.8 mil watched the finale. really mediocre numbers but who cares.

bunk and kima apparently "secured financing" to do a movie, but simon isnt on board. yet. he said hell do if theres an idea for one, and right now he doesnt have an idea. would probably have to be a prequel, not sure whats left to do now.

WSJ ruminates on the Wire, Baltimore city failure, etc.

Worth the read even if you disagree

I've seen Goodfellas at least 100x but haven't seen it since I've been watching the Wire. It was on this afternoon. In the scene when Henry is coked up and goes to pick up his brother in the wheelchair from the hospital the Doc that checks him out is Clay Davis.

An actor on the Baltimore-based HBO series "The Wire" was stabbed in the chest and buttocks during a melee early yesterday at a social hall in Overlea.

About 2 a.m., Baltimore County police rushed to Overlea Caterers Inc., in the 6800 block of Belair Road, and used pepper spray to disperse a crowd of about 30 people, several of whom were fighting, a police spokesman said.

After the fight was over, police officers discovered that Christopher J. Clanton, 22, had been stabbed. Clanton, who played a recurring character on "The Wire," was taken to Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center by ambulance, authorities said.

Clanton played Savino Bratton, a recurring character in "The Wire" who appeared in nine episodes in the first and fifth seasons.
