This is deadly.

 

[Goodbye]

3 hours of a 13 hour feature film called The Wire
and only 4 seasons to do after this one.
I'm hooked.

hayworth - i've actually not got that actual boxset - but a boxset of seasons 1-4 and then seasons 5 & 6 individually. all adds up to the same tho. best tv show ever!!

bonzai - yes in the later series' they are some songs substituted alright - for instance there's no sign of mazzy star when holling & shelly have their kid - boo!. still in all it beats watchin fuzzy old taped-off-the-tv versions of em! .|..|

In Treatment - the yoke where Gabriel Byrne plays a psychiatrist. Watched about 15 episodes so far .... not really convinced by it ..... I think it might be time to delve into Wire Season 5.

I had a unhealthy crush on Chris for years. In 1992 I toyed with the idea of skipping college and moving to Alaska to work on a fishing boat. One of my male friends had done it the year prior. Needless to say, I'd probably be dead if I did it. It was such a good show though.

As for music, many DVDs of old tv series have had a change of music. I know they did for Party of Five because they used a friend's old band to replace some of the more famous songs. Apparently using generic yet similar music it makes it less 'dated'...harder to pinpoint.

I've been waching Chuck this past couple of weeks. It's not particularly brilliant but it's decent fun.

 

[nlgbbbblth]

again...

I bought that and sent it back when I read the reviews of the poor picture quality - particularly on season 1.

bought this instead.

The music substitutions are usually related to securing the rights to issue the episodes (with musical content therein) on DVD.

Sometimes it's cheaper to just use substitutions.

 

[7 - No tomorrow]

Mad Men
Fantastic series from the US. set in an advertising agency in 1960.
Mesmerising amounts of drinking, sex, smoking, sexism, racism and stuff you'd get fired, sued, divorced, disbarred or struck off for, at any time in the last thirty years.
It almost plays like an episode of the Twilight Zone where all that shit is not only acceptable, but encouraged.
The writing is sharp & clever, and the women are smokin' - both literally and figuratively.

 

[Unicron]

Season 2 of Dexter.

Better than the first so far (4 episodes).

 

[Kid Lovebeach]

[snakybus]

ooh

hey I've become so obsessed with the Wire that practice will now involve re-enactments of some classic scenes

Scene 1: Court room, when Omar testifies against Bird. Wil, you're Omar. Ruan, you're Levy. Jeroen is Bird and Brian is the judge. I'm McNulty AND Stringer Bell.
