My husband and I discovered this at Xmas after getting Season 1 DVD from his elderly uncle (how cool is said elderly uncle) and we are completely addicted. We're on Season 4 now - anyone else addicted too?

mehdismummy · 17/03/2010 20:49

right start another list !!!

mehdismummy · 17/03/2010 20:51

I'm just a humble motherfucker with a big-ass dick. who said that?

mehdismummy · 17/03/2010 20:53

the fuck crime scene takes some beating!

Francagoestohollywood · 17/03/2010 20:53

It was the Bunk, no?

Francagoestohollywood · 17/03/2010 20:55

I'd love to do the most moving scenes, but there are spoilers, and not all posters have finished the whole series...

Thinking about that, also my "funniest" scenes contain spoilers!

mehdismummy · 17/03/2010 20:58

hbo are starting a new series called treme in april that has bunk and freamon in, not the characters the actors x

mehdismummy · 17/03/2010 20:59

it was bunk yes!! i could sit here all night and waffle on about the wire!

Francagoestohollywood · 17/03/2010 20:59

Oh yes. I wonder if it'll ever make it to Italy.

Francagoestohollywood · 17/03/2010 21:00

me too mehdismummy

mehdismummy · 17/03/2010 21:01

i hired them all from the libray! can u imagine the wire in italian!!!

TheMysticMasseuse · 17/03/2010 21:02

I would (in no particular order):

-Jimmy
-Carver
-Reinaldo
-Marlo (I know I know, purely based on looks!)

  • Lester, but only if he spends a looooong time talking to me with his glasses down his nose as a form of foreplay
  • Carcetti
-Cutty (of course!)

Favourite scenes till the end of season 4:
-The crime scene in season 1 (fuck!)
-The Bunk and Lester having a beer and declining "puss-i".... which ends with the Bunk calling out to "Jimmmmmyyyyyyyy", something I often do too when dd2 drives me insane, and has my dds (4 and 2 ) in stitches

  • The Bunk and Omar talking sometimes in season 3 I believe
  • the end of the penultimate episode of season 2, featuring Frank Sobotka (not describing the scne as it's a spoiler)
  • Any wake with the Pogues' song full blast
  • McNulty and the Bunk drinking by the traintracks
-Bubbles walking through Hamsterdam
  • D'Angelo explaining chess to Bodie ("what about them bald-headed bitches" "those are the pawns... they like soldiers".... "the king stay the king")

I can highly recommend the Wire cd (and all the pieces matter). I have it on my ipod and love to blast the damn thing up really loud when having a shitty day

mehdismummy · 17/03/2010 21:02

funny you in italy! my ds fav prog is from italy. gormiti!

mehdismummy · 17/03/2010 21:04

the wire cd whats on that then?

TheMysticMasseuse · 17/03/2010 21:04

Ah but the repartee to that- wasn't it something like "you wish, motherfucker"? or something like that?

"see that bow-legged motherfucker? I made him walk that way"

Oh and sorry, speaking of the Bunk- his adultery scene???? priceless (if somewhat far fetched)

mehdismummy · 17/03/2010 21:07

i am now sad i have watched them all and wish i could watch them all with virgin eyes!

Francagoestohollywood · 17/03/2010 21:15

I don't even want to begin to think of The Wire in Italian. I hate how the Italians dub everything and I swear any foreign language program/movie seems worse than it is when dubbed into Italian

at your dc into gormiti... thankfully ds has stopped asking for them!

mehdismummy · 17/03/2010 21:17

but in italy you can get hats and tshirts etc with gormiti on! my ds would pass out with joy if they were sold here! i tried on the italian ebay but didnt understand any of it!!

Francagoestohollywood · 17/03/2010 21:20

Some of my fav scenes

  • yes, the end of the penultimate episode of season 2, featuring Frank Sobotka, pure poetry.
  • D'Angelo versus stringer bell, end of season 1
  • Herc, Carv bump into Poot and Bodie at the movies
  • Bubbles walking in Hamsterdam
  • "the boys of summer" fighting the terrace boys.
Francagoestohollywood · 17/03/2010 21:21

Oh yes, I suppose we can... there are even shoes

Francagoestohollywood · 17/03/2010 21:22

Ah and forgot Omar in the blue pj going out for cheerios

mehdismummy · 17/03/2010 21:22
