I just watched The Story Of Luke on Netflix.
I cried. a little. go figure. never heard of it before but apparently it's IMDB rating is 7.3 so I guess I'm not alone. |
MY wife got us started watching Friday Night Lights about a month ago. I remember when this was on TV. I'd flip by and it looked stupid. But it's not so bad. We're half way through season 5 of 6. Like so many drama TV series, it's just a well done prime time soap opera.
I like the idea of finding an old show and doing a marathon viewing for a few weeks. |
Ender's Game was far better than I expected, even if the kids were too old.
Riddick. Oh yeah! |
Finished streaming all of Inspector Lewis.
Wish all of Inspector Morse was available for prime/netflix. |

So, in light of that, I just finished the first season of The Wire. It is really good, as I'd heard, but I initially had a hard time keeping all the players straight and figuring out the meaning of a lot of the lingo,of both the drug dealers and the cops. Looking forward to Season 2 though, I'm pretty into it now. |
Oh I really loved series 1 of the Wire. I fell off it during series 2 though. Might go back and rewatch!
You know the actor who plays McNulty is English right? Also Stringer Bell. |
The Wire is interesting because it jumps around Baltimore telling the same grand story from different points of view in the city, finally bringing it all together in the final season.
I think season 2 is the one that takes place down at the docks. It's an abrupt change, but stay with it. |
Sat in on "Lone Survivor" the other night. I think Wahlberg spends about ⅝ of the movie in mid-air, falling. And another ⅛ bouncing off rocks/cliffs he has just fallen onto.
All in all, I give it a 6 out of 10. |

I knew they had referred to McNulty as Irish in the first ep. I wasn't sure his nationality because he's got the dark hair and eyes. Two of the actors were in Oz, too. Seth Gilliam (Ellis Carver on The Wire) played the rogue guard Clayton Hughes, and J.D. Williams (Bodie on The Wire) played inmate Kenny "Bricks" Wangler. Great acting. Quote:
I told him "I kind of live for this stuff" and he says "I know, right?" :) I love the young folks. I could be one, if it weren't for my age. :lol: |

I can't remember what season it is, but there's an episode where McNulty goes "undercover" with a Brit accent, and they all tell him it's terrible and completely unbelievable. Funny stuff.
We just watched episode 1 of Sherlock season 3 tonight. Excellent. |

I watched Thor Dark World. Not bad. |
Dear netflix,
"Are All Men Pedophiles?" is really, really creepy. It's like an hour long PSA for pedophiles. |
