I mean mentally he's young. Some 16 year olds could strike out on their own and handle business like a grown man. Others are basically still kids. Shoot my wife's 2 brothers live with us and while they're 16, we have to treat them at times like they're 12 because they weren't raised properly. Bodie was already jaded and knee deep in hustling and trying to advance. Poot kind of was but not to the same extent. Wallace was a kid involved in big boy business and that's why D tried to let him know how serious the game was but I don't think Wallace really got it. Ideally Wallace shouldn't have had to deal with any of that. He should've been chasing girls and doing homework, not having to make life or death decisions and taking care of homeless kids
Most of the kids that trained at Cutty's gym were supposed to be in the 15-17 year old range too. Basically you're saying Wallace was just a pussy that tried to act hard like he belonged, just like Nayman (but not to the extent of acting hard Nay did). I can agree on that. Innocent, no. Pussy, yes. Game ain't for everybody
I'll do what I gotta, I don't give a fuck. Just don't ask me to live on my fuckin knees, you know? Good night sweet Bodie
besides Omar. but that opens up a whole other can of worms Spoiler the argument about how much was Michael wanting to not die versus Michael's view of gay and/or older males
just finished 3 it was an interesting season i expected like a MAIN guy theyd go after like avon/string in 1 and then sbotka in 2, but this was just more the overarching effect of string etc. and the drug culture. i mean i like how they incorporate all kinds of older characters but i didnt know the entire season would be centered around already introduced characters. i think it started off really slow but the last 3-4 episodes when the war heated up was good shit. poor prez. but i really like the neville bros. DOWN IN THE HOLE rendition already downloaded 4 :bartscott:
i also like mcnulty realizing what lester said about needing a life and that mcnulty's whole existence was string as his foil and shit and then goin to see beedie but i wanted to see the other girl's tits more
The last half of season 3 through the season finale of season 4 is the best stretch the show ever had. Just phenomenal TV.
OK, so who all makes re-appearances or cameos in Season 5? My count so far is: Avon Nick Sobotka Poot Sabino Random cameo by John Munch of L&O: SUV fame Anyone else? I re-watched episodes 5-7 tonight at work and couldn't tell if the homeless guy with the dog under the bridge when Templeton stays the night out there is the dock worker that helped Nicky boost the Mercedes (Johnny Fifty?).
I know we've done this before but I'm bored so let's rank Way Down in the Hole Blind Boys from Alabama Tom Waits Steve Earle Neville Bros That chick I was split on Earle and Neville bros
Waits is first by a mile. They're all wonderful but none of the performances compare to that of the writer of the song.
Just got done with my month-long rewatch. Can't believe how much better it gets every time I watch it. Figured I'd leave this for you guys:
the only guy I thought who looked close to Marlo was a kid with a red headband. couldn't see his face at all. highly doubt even David Simon would be able to work a character in like that.
Marlo at his best http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PwuckTkE7T4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTIlZUOu0Rc
he's better in both of those clips imo. the restraint hector played a ruthless killer with is incredible.
