Groovelord Neato posted:Yeah the grocer scene was really the only one that broke the illusion (the obvious CGI glass didn't help). I noticed right at the beginning when they were looking at the timing chain. I still liked the movie but only Pacino moved convincingly, mostly because he was muh more stationary and could hold on to podiums. But when the bed scenes were everyone has these big old man potbellies it was also sad.

Jeffrey of YOSPOS posted:Avon gives Cutty the money for his gym - I think it counts. It's not for influence or a show of power or anything either, he doesn't want it to be known. I mean, in s4 they have the young Avon boxing photo up on the wall. It may not be known he was the investor, but he is a part of the gym.

From the NYT bio: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/09/06/arts/michael-k-williams-dead.html quote:Mr. Williams played Omar Little, a charming vigilante who held up low-level drug dealers, perhaps the most memorable character on a series many consider among the best shows in television history. God, this is incredibly sad. It is always hard to get past these demons. RIP

Having not seen the Plot Against America series but read the book (10+ years ago) it doesn't seem like the series deviated far from the source's ending, and if anything, was bleaker.

The changes in technology over the course of the series is always interesting to think about, also because it ends right before the modern smartphone era. Would have really liked to see what a season would be like built upon when you start getting cheap smartphones out to people and how that changes the game.

Ever try to watch the latest episode of Show X and you just end up watching Wire clips on your phone with the other show on in the background?

Dexter would have been fine if they just ended after 2. I know everyone likes the Lithgow season but...eh.

Eason the Fifth posted:That is correct, I do not like Tom Waits' voice. I respect his place in music but it is not for me. I have a wrong opinion. If you don't like the voice try the first album where his voice isn't as broken yet, I liked that much more than the supposed classic ones

if you go back into the first convos in S1 about making the first task force they haggle about Syndor being there because they said they actually needed some good police to do something, it couldn't be all humps.

Jeffrey of YOSPOS posted:I do wish we got that "mayoral election miniseries" because season 4 really does cram everything in. I imagine without also covering the election it would have felt just as focused as the other seasons. *primary, I like when they joke about whoever the Republican running in November is.

BiggerBoat posted:
I think you can see for Avon about how his drug empire isn't totally his - you see Brianna and D (and D has that big speech at the end of season 1 about how who his grandfather was) and how people get supported through it or are a part of it. The Barksdale org is fun like a family business in many ways - like when Avon tells Marlo to give money to his sister to get access to Sergei in S5. Avon would really feel the obligation to keep going in order to keep that support network alive, at least for his direct family. It took...two-ish years after the Barksdale org died for Wee Bay's family to be cut off? It isn't a full pension, but that is alot of dedication for someone not earning anything.
