FTA-TV The Wire

[Wahooti Fandango]

Disagree. Marlo was far better than Stringer. Stringer was an arrogant twat. Has a massive superiority complex. Marlo thought he was the king of the street, while Stringer thought he was above the street.

which is why i thought he was a smarter more interesting character like prop Joe, just my opinion.

A lot people say that it is admirable of Stringer to try to move beyond the street, but I just found it disingenuous.

I liked the show exploring why all these guys are in that business - the clash between money and ego. It was maybe a little forced by the end, but they played it for long enough - even in Season 1 you can see it in the different ways Stringer and Avon want to deal with Omar.

anyone watched "the corner"? set in the same town & made by the same people as the wire.with some of the wire actors playing differnt characters.l seen most of it the drug scenes get a bit much sometimes.

Wasn't he just following the example of those before him?

To be "The Bank".

Saw Horrible Bosses yesterday.

Cutty was in it, working behind a bar. But the highlight was Bunk! Playing a cop!

I am not sure if you are joking...




But if you are not Dominic West is actually from England, he puts on a Baltimore accent.

Same with Stringer (English) and Carcetti (Irish)

Didnt know that! but I watched the Wire knowing nothing about the actors, I knew a few of the faces have been on Oz (Bubbles, Carver, Daniels, Preston)

Mind you David Simon did cast Alexander "Eric Northman" Skarsgard in Generation Kill, and he spoke in an unseemingly American accent

the wire lnspire site was funny $hit wheres wallace under a wheres wally picture where the hell is wallace lol.

 

[XFactor1979]

Speaking of the Wire and the actors actually being English Irish etc, I was wondering about Mcnulty's reduced participation in Season 4 of the series?

Granted Carcetti (i'd vote for him) and Przybaluzki (the cop that became a teacher) took centre stage (they were both awesome characters) but was something going on for the actor playing McNulty to not be on screen that much in the fourth season?

 

[NitroFan]

Bubbles was in Oz?

 

[XFactor1979]

Bubbles was in Oz?

I think he played a snitch in the cells

 

[NitroFan]

Wasn't that Daniels?

You get warped if you watched Oz

Someone put up a poll asking whether or not Oz is too violent?

96% of respondents said Yes

wasn't too violent, was just always violent, which it had to be

oz was either poetry or brutality

 

[chargers 09]

Watching the series for a second time now. Just finished the first episode in season 3, where at the start the Franklin Terrace Towers are detonated and crumble. Anyone think this could be symbolism for the crumbling of the Barksdale Empire which happens in season 3?
