The thing you have to remember about Lester, though, is that he's basically an older, wiser version of McNulty. He ended up in the pawn shop because he bucked the chain of command.

I think what you're illustrating is kind of the whole point: white people in board rooms arguing the fates of people they don't make efforts to know. They feel like "asides" because they're not seen as essential to the process. That's why Mary Dorman freaks out when she sees the black protesters: she begins to realize…

Herc and Carver in "Gus Triandos: Big, Slow Guy."

Jizz Rolls Downhill.

Wish you guys asked him about The Eric Andre Show.

Season 1 is better than people act like it was.

In Vanda's Room is one of my all-time favorites. Devastating film.

The Wire is about way more than cops and lawyers.

No Cassavettes?

Only came here to confirm that someone already thought of this joke. Carry on.

This sounds cool. Really cool, in fact. But I could see it very easily tanking at the box office and turning into a cult hit after the fact, like Meet the Feebles or even Death to Smoochy.

Maybe I've lost my mind, but I don't find the movie that incomprehensible. It's definitely complex and mysterious, but not totally incoherent. I definitely view the movie as a existing within separate narrative thread than the manga, though.

A live-action remake would be a lot more reasonable if it took place in Japan and had Japanese actors.

The crazy lady thing is extra hilarious (and smart) since the American dub assumes that the cult leader's a man when she's actually a woman.

Just what I expected: it's crap.

But how insane is it that I could refer to "that weird Flashdance shot" from Munich and you knew what I was talking about. Guess it's impossible to forget.

Remember that weird Flashdance shot, though? That was ridiculous.

Looks exactly like those dudes who used to loiter outside of Virgin Records and force their awful demos on me.
