Bubble's Depo: January 2009
http://wiretv.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
It's all in the game". Saturday, January 10, 2009. Haven't posted a whole lot in awhile, but I'm convinced that my move to DC will increase the posting rate here. Evidence no. 1: I "joined" a ultimate frisbee team here and like many flatball teams, they like giving nicknames to their players. They had been trying to nickname someone Bubbles for awhile, and when they found out that I had a blog of this name- it was set. To use a Wire symbol). Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Bubble's Depo: Wire Marathon
http://wiretv.blogspot.com/2014/12/wire-marathon.html
It's all in the game". Tuesday, December 30, 2014. I'm sure you all have been watching HBO's The Wire marathon. They've been playing a season per day, which is awesome. Even more awesome is many of the actors have been commenting on Twitter or live tweeting various episodes or seasons. It's kind of like DVD commentary 3.0. For example, here are all the actors explaining with whom they wish they had played a scene:. I hope everyone is re-enjoying the show as much as I am. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Bubble's Depo: Season 1 Episode 1 - The Target
http://wiretv.blogspot.com/2008/06/season-1-episode-1-target.html
It's all in the game". Sunday, June 1, 2008. Season 1 Episode 1 - The Target. Scene opens with a pan up a trail of blood and flashing lights to a dead body. This is the opening of what some have called the greatest drama of this decade, or the greatest television show ever, or the angriest show on television, or. you get the point. A lot of people who watched it, think it's pretty darn good. The opening scene sets the up a show that definitely breaks the mold of " cop show. And the story is one of the ma...

Bubble's Depo: March 2009
http://wiretv.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
It's all in the game". Friday, March 27, 2009. Gay Stick Up Artist Invades Britain. Hopefully this makes up for that time you sent us The Beatles and we sent you Elvis. First off, a big welcome to those viewers from across the pond! On Monday, the BBC-2 will begin playing all five seasons of The Wire at "a late time slot." In light of this development, the British media has done some sporadic features with David Simon, Ed Burns, and other Wire related personalities. The Guardian has a very nice interview.

Bubble's Depo: April 2009
http://wiretv.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
It's all in the game". Wednesday, April 29, 2009. Simon Mulls CIA Series. H/T Play or Get Played. David Simon is thinking about the CIA as his next muse. I do think this would be very interesting development and a cool idea to do a TV show about if done well. It's also more fodder for Simon's ability to twist genre conventions with what happens in reality. What's more classic than the Bond spy thriller, yet further from the lived reality of CIA agents? Shit's gonna blow you up! Buried in the article are ...

Surely isn't the first class on The Wire, it's probably the highest profile. William Julius Williams! Don't blame me, but I told ya so.
