lagofala Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 Nope Keanu Reeves is better. Noone can do the keanu look like he can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SylvesterStallone Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 I've seen the first season. It isn't - trust me. I liked the Sopranos but The Wire is much better plotted imho. The Sopranos is more entertaining than The Wire I'll concede...Nope Keanu Reeves is better. Noone can do the keanu look like he canReeves is a plank of wood that I enjoy watching.

Spuffy78 Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 The Sopranos is a good TV show but it's a tad bit overrated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moop Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 Reeves is a plank of wood that I enjoy watching.Duuude, have you SEEN Bill and Ted? Far from plank of wood-worthy.Although, I agree that ever since the Matrix, Keanue Reeves has played the same character for all his movies. (Constantine was still kickass) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Estranged Reality Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 If you haven't seen Bicycle Thieves, you really should. Probably an all-time favourite of mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moop Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 Or his stellar performance in Dracula. In his defense, they just casted the wrong actor for the part. I dunno what they were thinking, getting Keanu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridin' the Nightrain Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 The Wire is superior to The Sopranos in almost every way. And I fucking love The Sopranos.The Wire = best TV show ever made. Sad to see it go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelica Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 I tried with The Wire. I tried quite hard because David Simon was partially responsible for Homicide, which is one of my all time favorite shows. But it never grabbed me. From the handful of episodes I saw, there's nothing in the writing or acting or overall execution that I could reasonably find fault with. I just didn't care. Maybe I'll try again eventually, an awful lot of people whose taste I admire dig it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridin' the Nightrain Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 It's a slow burner but once you get into it then you'll just love it more and more every episode.Most people don't have enough patience to stick with it to really see the story arcs and characters build. It's annoying. Definitely a show for intelligent people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking of moving onto another show around the 3 episode mark myself. It gets a lot better though, particularly towards the end. Definitely worth revisiting in your case...

FunkyMonk Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 (edited) To move away from your smarty-pants shows...I watched Dukes of Hazard last night; and it kicks ass. Such a fun movie. Johnny Knoxville is just...really cool B).And Jessica Simpson is pretty smokin' in it. Edited March 8, 2008 by FunkyMonk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

appetite4illusions Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 (edited) anyone like 28 days later & 28 weeks later?i think they're very good filmsYeah.Danny Boyle is versatile director, and he made the first film (and the second to a lesser extent) really special for it's genre. He made zombies(infected) scary again after generations of mopy dopy lurching undead flicks. I happen to prefer the second to the first, because it's got more Aliens pumped up action in it. Love the whole American quarentine plot, it works well in todays light. Plus that film just had of the most bad ass action sequences in it, including the helicopter assault.

It's annoying. Definitely a show for intelligent people.j/k. I think the main problem on my part was expectations I had relating to Homicide: Life on the Street. I don't know if any of you Wire fans are familiar with it, but it was a long-running Baltimore based cop show, created by Barry Levinson and based on a non-fiction book by David Simon. Simon also came onboard as a writer and producer a few seasons down the track. I love it dearly and I think I went into The Wire with an unreasonable hope of it being more in the same vein. I'll give it another shot someday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridin' the Nightrain Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 I've not seen it but I shall check it out Wait until you start seeing more of Stringer Bell in The Wire. In season 3 he's one of my all-time favourite characters. Omar is absolute greatness too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
