The Wire

[Rome]

Stop ripping off the Oresident you filthy hippie.

[Zanshin]

So far it seems an awful lot like a pretty good HBO TV series. I've yet to experience the ridiculous religious experience as described on here. But, hey, I like good TV shows.

Get your heads examined.

I don't think you understand the dynamic at play here, Z.

The Wire is the greatest thing ever created and anything short of frenzied hyperbolic praise for it is not to be tolerated.

[MDS]

pretty much

in fact if you watch an dont think its that good it should be a punishable crime

[rjs246]

It very well may be the greatest show in the history of television, which places it slightly above Miley Cyrus' tattoos on the list of things that grown men should care about.

[MDS]

but is it more important than novels or coen brothers movies?

[rjs246]

Do I spend pages upon pages fawning over a novel or a movie? More importantly do I spend years and years talking about the same goddamned book/movie/whatever? This thread is farging 97 pages long. Get a grip.

[MDS]

by this time next year it should be 197 pages long

the wire is life, son.

[rjs246]

Exactly. Kill yourself.

i dont know about that but at the very least youd be unamerican

altho i would be my house that zanshin could have an outerbody experience watching it and still wouldnt admit it...and in fact i could see him wtching it only to say how not awesome it is

[Zanshin]

Not true. If it's awesome, I'll say it's awesome...but I probably won't dwell on it, because that's not my way.  I'm on the third one, and so far it's good.

I'm not going for the counter opinion, but all of the slathering of love does make it harder to watch.  Still, enough people have said it's good to make me want to see what the fuss is about.

If I have an out-of-body experience while watching it, I promise to admit it.

[Diomedes]

If I could delete one thread...

[ice grillin you]

Not true. If it's awesome, I'll say it's awesome...but I probably won't dwell on it, because that's not my way.  I'm on the third one, and so far it's good.

third episode?

btw youll have to watch it a minimum of three times to take it all in.....theres so much you miss the first several times thru

[Diomedes]

Once is enough to see that it's superior to all other television.  But after that, studying and proselytizing the damn thing is for fanboys.

But you already know this.
