Kevin S. Assilleekunt 1 Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 GIL Scott heron doc from bbc4 last night His fatha played for Celtic. Watched a bit of that, good egg. Had to get up at 5am so didn't stick it out. It was very sad to see the state of his physical decline, which I assume was linked with a crack addiction. He had interesting things to say via his music which is a rarity, and much appreciated when it's done well. Watched Radiohead at Glasto 97, bit underwhelmed. The sound was off: Thom's voice was too low in the mix. Would rather listen to the records, which I did afterward. Can't argue with their material though, very good rock band.

Jusoda Kid 1 Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 The Scheme on bbc1 scotland at 10.35, already been 2 episodes last week but you can get them on iplayer its brilliant, these last 2 episodes had to be scrapped at first because of a court case, but ratings have been really high on the repeats that was on last week chris is now on smack but won't admit it, candice has been kicked out because she won't get rid of chris' baby, honestly this is brilliant I've been watching it, fucking savage.

Besty 4 Posted July 8, 2011 Author Share Posted July 8, 2011 Winnebago Man is well worth a watch. Is that the one where they try to find a bloke who inadvertantly became a youtube sensation when out-takes of his adverts surface? He was a VHS sensation back in the early 80's rather than a youtube hit. They are VERY funny videos of him doing his nut like. Unfortunately nowt in the doc is quite as good as his Angry man caught on camera. Still well worth it like. Just watched that, Rebney is class.

Monkeys Fist 42449 Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Sooo, got Season 1 of The Wire as a pressie, how many seasons are there? Is it any good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jusoda Kid 1 Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 5 iirc, and yes, excellent. Can be slow at times but it all comes together. Everyone's favourite character in it is gay black gangster, says it all about how good it is imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeys Fist 42449 Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Might give it a go tonight. Cheers Wacky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jusoda Kid 1 Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Took me a couple of episodes to understand the gangsta crack, was like having a pint with Manc Mag when he was in his Jamaican phase. Stick with it though, its immense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin S. Assilleekunt 1 Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 5 seasons. It's really good, especially if you like black people, gangster stuff, social commentary and intricate police investigation bollocks. The characters talk in their urban idioms so you have to like that sort of thing. For instance, in a mainstream TV drama the character Stringer Bell might say: "Oh hello there, I'm Stringer Bell, a drug lord and associate of many criminals. How do you do today, fine sir?" In the Wire he says shit like, "Yo aight where da reup for ma corner honky? Y'all be switchin towers before 5-0 is crackin us niggas like a peanut aighht." 4th season is the best.
