Maybe not… by Daniel Poeira http://newpackage.wordpress.com/2008/12/23/life-imitates-the-wire-maybe-not/#comment-1693 Thu, 15 Jan 2009 01:14:46 +0000 http://newpackage.wordpress.com/?p=580#comment-1693 Who wants to watch a TV show about happy people in a happy place? This is tragedy, not comedy. Anything trying to stay inbetween these two will most probably fail!

The Wire is not a documentary. And I don’t think its portrayal of its characters makes a bad name for the city. I don’t think Baltimore is a bleak place just because of The Wire, for the same reasons I am not afraid of visiting Japan just because I saw some Godzilla movies.

I’ve never been to Baltimore, but after watching the series I feel a great urge to meet the city personally. I don’t know, maybe eat some crab cakes or a lake trout by the harbor. For me, right now, it is more of a tourist destination than, say Los Angeles, or New York.

He was a simple man and damn good at his work. I understand the hard times that Hana must be going through. I am deeply hurt and would like to my online tributes to the noble soul of Ashley.

I think that perhaps the reviewer is to close to the situation.

CNAS has been referred to as a democratic PNAC. There are videos of Fick speaking on the CNAS site.

He’s still so young and he obviously has a career cut out for him as an iconoclast. It will be interesting to see where he goes.

A friend who read his book liked it better tha GK. i haven’t read it.
