repo man is the movie i've watched the most times i think, gets so much better every time, and i already knew it was the shit five minutes into the first time!

I've not seen Game of Thrones but I know he appears in the Wire later on. I've only seen him in British stuff so far and I can't stand him. It's weird that there are so many British actors playing American characters in The Wire. Idris Elba (Stringer-Bell) is a year younger than me and was brought up literally a few streets away from where I grew up.

when i first heard jimmy mcnulty's real voice i couldn't stop laughing.

lester, also, though american, works mainly out of england, i found out.

oh, and fucking stringer bell, he's english too, no? hilarious.

I love the scene where McNulty has to 'fake' an English accent. Dominic West is incredibly posh. He went to school at Eton with David Cameron. And yeah, Clarke Peters had a big theatre career in London prior to The Wire. All very odd.

The Lacemaker

I thought the briefcase was a reference to Kiss Me Deadly.

i thought it was just a by-the-book mcguffin

Sightseers

pretty good, not as good as Down Terrace, imo, but still some really nice stuff

stieg larsson's millenium trilogy

^ SOME LIKE IT HOT was on last night and I laughed a lot.

LOST WEEKEND, STALAG 17, APARTMENT, WITNESS FOR THE PROSECUTION, ONE TWO THREE are some good ones too. And there are a lot more that most people like, but might not be my particular cup of tea, like SABRINA. His last few films were pitiful, but that doesn't diminish his astonishingly long winning streak.

When they use him to infiltrate the whore house in season 2, and he ends up fucking the whores. Classic. Mcnulty is the best cop character ever. Except for maybe Serpico. Actually no way, he's better than Serpico's self righteous ass.

Who are some other great movie/television cops?

Dale Cooper, Dirty Harry, Hank Schraeder, ummmm

The Bad Lieutenant, Harvey Keitel!

A fine fine one

didjoo like?


every time i read/hear the name "jimmy mcnulty" the image i get is him fucking a whore over the hood of a car under some bridge or something. a patrol car comes by and spots him; mcnulty flashes his badge, wasted, and continues to fuck like nobody else is around.

cops: popeye doyle (ask demonrail). vic mackey (he's a dark motherfucker, but you can't help rooting for him). lester freamon. the lady in fargo.

ps- inspector clouseau! nick nolte in "affliction". orson welles in "a touch of evil"!

it was ok, not really what i expected to be honest!
i wouldn't go out of my way to see it again or anything,
some beautiful scenery though. :)
