Funny this thread just popped up

 

I started rewatching the wire this week, and I forgot how bloody good it is. 

 

I've binged the first season in 3 days

I caught him, Bunk.

 

On the wire. I caught him.

 

And he doesn’t fucking know it.

The man right here say this the Cadillac - he meant Lexus, but he ain’t know it.

Chris: Don’t matter if he said it or not. People think he said it. Can’t let that shit go.

I thought The Corner was a really good read, any thoughts, Albert:

Do it need to be the cop’s gun?

 

Because if it’s guns you after, I can get you guns.

Gus: (Talking about Templeton) I’ve got a problem. I need a veteran reporter, quiet, subtle, discreet, good with details, careful to cover his tracks…

 

Ruby: I don’t care how far we go back, Gus, no way I’m going to kill your wife for you.

Great little account this. The guy behind it was away with actors who played Bodie and Poot recently in Las Vegas.

Avon is a great character 

That scene in series 1 in the car is outstanding

Apparently Al Brown who played valchek has died.

Quote

 

The dock workers stole Valchek's surveillance van to get back at him for the tickets and sobriety check-point.

He opens another envelope with a Polaroid showing the van is in San Diego.

While he's dusting for fingerprints, Kima asks to use the van.

"It's on loan to the southwest." [San Diego being the most south-westerly point in the continental US.]

 

Another of the brilliant characters on that show.

 

RIP

Flicking through the movie channels and stops on Christian Bales The Machinist and who do I see? Only Norman Wilson of the Carcetti campaign jibba jabbing with D - D’angelo Barksdale. 
 

Although a great film I just wasnt in the mood to be depressed so clicks on itv to find John Wick was 15 mins in. Unfortunately I’ve never seen this movie and I’d missed the 1st 15 mins that make the story. However, I’ve seen more than enough memes about his dog to know what I was missing and watched on. 
 

Lo and behold guess who’s manning the reception desk at the Hotel. Why it’s only Lt Cedric Daniels going all African on us. Next up, JW gets a knock on his door after disarming a female assassin and look who’s knocking. It’s det Lester Freeman offering a hand.

 

tune in next time for more guest appearances on Wire Watch

Id read he wasn’t impressed with the writers either when he saw the size of the actor playing him and didn’t warm to the actor when on set.

Have we all read “All the pieces matter”?

 

if not I’d highly recommend. Tells a brilliant story from all those involved.
