From now on, when HBO has some huge critical hit and people are callnig it the greatest thing since sliced bread, I will wait until it is completely over to watch it. And be sure, when I do watch it, I'll have DL'd it. Take that, Albrecht, Milch and co.<BR/><BR/>Oh yeah, the movies are never gonna happen.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-1156802645521452342006-08-28T18:04:00.000-04:002006-08-28T18:04:00.000-04:00What I didn't get about the killing of Jen was... ...What I didn't get about the killing of Jen was... the town spent weeks preparing for an apocalyptic armed showdown with Hearst. Why, then, the necessity to appease Hearst with a blood sacrifice? As if, what... Hearst's supposed longstanding plan to destroy the town wouldn't procede anyway?<BR/><BR/>Get what I'm saying? With Wu's chinks and Hawkeye's hired guns summoned to ground zero... with Al pronouncing nothing but the direst forecasts of Hearst's intentions for weeks... why not tell Hearst to go fuck himself when he demanded the death of the whore what shot him?<BR/><BR/>As Matt wrote, this whole story felt "off." And I didn't find much else otherwise to get thrilled about with this season finale. As with this season's "Sopranos," I feel like the storytellers got me all hot and bothered, then didn't get me off.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-1156794644522053122006-08-28T15:50:00.000-04:002006-08-28T15:50:00.000-04:00According to this articleThe production on the mov...According to <A HREF="http://tvguide.com/News/Insider/default.htm?rmDate=08252006" REL="nofollow">this</A> article<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>The production on the movies is tentatively scheduled to start in May 2007.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-1156789124942457372006-08-28T14:18:00.000-04:002006-08-28T14:18:00.000-04:00There was one 'line of the week' missing.

Where am I going to get my weekly dose of cocksuckers now? :-)<BR/><BR/>Re: Jen's death: I didn't have much of a problem with it. In the end, unfortunately, Jen was nothing but a whore (whereas Trixie was both a whore and a friend to Al), and as we've seen, the lives of whores in this show were hardly worth anything (all these years later and that situation hasn't much changed, too). All the people besides Johnny would would object either had more interest in saving Trixie (Bullock, Sol, Trixie herself), and or were people whose opinions meant nothing (Jen's fellow whores). It's sad all around. BTW, I'm surprised Hearst didn't want to take a look at Jen naked to make sure she was the right one. He seemed like the kind of guy who would request that.<BR/><BR/>Ah, well, The Wire is back soon! Fare thee well, "Deadwood." Fare thee fucking well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-1156764255330853762006-08-28T07:24:00.000-04:002006-08-28T07:24:00.000-04:00Excellent episode, but of course I want more.Time ...Excellent episode, but of course I want more.<BR/><BR/>Time to talk about <I>The Wire</I>!Louishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00320979906551787343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-1156758804738731382006-08-28T05:53:00.000-04:002006-08-28T05:53:00.000-04:00Like I said last week, I think there are too many ...Like I said last week, I think there are too many logistical hurdles to overcome, and I believe HBO ordered them only as a face-saving move after the fan and critical outrage, and that when all the hurdles can't be overcome, Albrecht or somebody will say, "Gee, sorry, we tried.
