How is nobody talking about David Simon's new show? The

Chris Partlow from The Wire is in this show, right?

>>87659099
I liked the first episode. I'm expecting some more plot next week, but this was a decent introduction to the characters.

>>87659239

I'm expecting a lot of socioeconomic commentary just like The Wire

For some reason reading about the show before the first episode I thought it was going to be like Boogie Nights or something

>>87659168
Yeah, Method Man and Dee are back too

>>87659360

Do you think we'll see any other actors from The Wire?

Would you fuck her for $30?

>>87659480
Looking at the imdb page, the lawyer is also in it and Jackie Sr from the Sopranos is in it as well

>>87659603

Ginny Sack's brother is in it as well

>>87659583
>$30
I miss the Seventies.

>>87659099
goddamnit james franco, get the fuck out my david simon. fuck

>>87659773

He wasn't terrible, but he's not winning any emmy's for his performance. I feel like Tom Hardy could have done a decent job with this role

>>87660159
Please stop.

You just know hes gonna grow a massive mustache and star as a sleazy porn actor/director

>>87660159
>I feel like Tom Hardy could have done a decent job with this role

Has he ever played a role were he was vulnerable and struggling and not a muttering bad ass that can deal with anything?

>>87660204
>>87660319

I was just thinking he could play twins better than Franco can like he did in Legends.

Have you seen him in The Drop? He can do an okay Brooklyn accent

>>87660159
so i can watch this show even though stupid fucking moron james franco is in it?

>>87660205
He's in it.

>>87660467

Yes, I would say so. David Simon knows what he's doing.

>>87660528
alright........................... goddamnit, i guess i have to...... cheers

>>87659099
>franco

FUCK
YOU

and fuck you david simon for forcing me to watch a show starring james fucking franco

>>87661323
It's a David Simon joint.

>>87661323
david simon made it

should be enough for everyone, but i guess a lot of normies here dont watch quality tv

>>87661323

David.
Simon.

I refuse to watch The Wire because it only streams in the 16:9 version, not the original 1.33:1 version. I'll watch this instead.

>>87661633
how many levels of normie are you on?

>>87661656
I consider it the patrician position. The show was shot to be shown in 1.33:1. That's how I want to watch it.

>>87661842
and youre....... incapable of/unwilling to obtain the show through other means?

im down with wanting to watch it in 1:33:1, though. thats how it was filmed

>>87661889
I don't pirate.

>>87661918
i would urge you to buy the entire show on DVD then. im sure youll find it cheap

i know its, yknow, everyone says so, but it really is THE best show in the universe

>>87661971
Alright, I might do it. I wish HBO or Amazon would at least give me the option to stream the original version.

When does it air?

>>87662252
in 46 hours ago

this has vinyl written all over it

damnnnnn, Maggie Gyllenhaal looks like THAT ?

Yea, very promising, but as it's such an enormous story, which i hope he gets to tell in full, the first episode is really but a peek. Just like the Wire it'll be better in context.

>it's a genitals are shown every 5 minutes for cheap shock value
simon is, ans has always been - a hack.

>>87662310
this

>>87662295
Ah, didn't know it was already out. Haven't seen any threads about it. /tv/ is shit these days.

>>87662310

I got those vibes from it too, I hope it isn't cancelled after one season.

>>87662505

why do you get triggered by seeing genitals? do you have a history of sexual abuse?

>>87661842
David Simon personally oversaw the 16:9 transfer

>>87662738
The Deuce is getting better reviews than Vinyl did. It has a bit more star power too.

>>87662947
I know that, but I still only want the original version.

>>87662970
Then buy or download the dvd set.

>>87662970
You sound like some autistic fag that refuses to watch a movie unless it's in VHS.

>>87662952

I believe it, it does feel like a much better show but in today's world if it doesn't have somebody dying in every episode or epic shootouts people don't watch it.

>>87662970

is this what you mean?

>>87659583
Nah, she'd have to pay me more than that.

Why was there so many full frontal cock shots but no full frontal vag? Shit was gay as fuck .

>>87662952
So far I like the characters better. I really hope they don't do many more scenes with Franco talking to Franco. That shit was a little too much.

>>87663270
Yes. I'd like to see it in HD, but the shots were all framed for a standard screen. The sides of the frame look so empty in that video.

>>87663442

I see, I wonder if they'll do the same thing for The Shield or Oz. The first time I watched The Wire I watched it in the original aspect ratio but my re-watch a couple years ago I enjoyed it just as much

>>87662738
Is vinyl any good?

>>87663574
If you like music. The story itself isn't very interesting but there's some fun musician cameos like Bowie, Lou Reed & Nico, Alice Cooper and stuff.

>>87663519
I have heard that The Wire is perfectly watchable in the new version, but I guess I'm just a purist. I'm sure it's not egregious like what they did to Seinfeld. That is absolutely offensive. I wish Hulu would show the normal versions of the episodes, because what they did to make Seinfeld widescreen is just disgusting.

>>87662051
Huh, HBO Nordic have both versions. Feels good not being in the country that's restricted for once.

>>87662310
Because it's an HBO show that takes place in the 70s New York? Basically everything else is different.

So is it good or not?

>>87663936
it is very good

>>87663936
It's pretty great

>>87663936
It was good.

>>87663936

yes

>>87659099
Because it's good
