I think everyone can agree that Kenard is awful.
It's weird. The code thing is most evident when Stringer's people break the Sunday morning truce, although I think the entire Marlo/Omar feud demonstrates the kind of chaotic evil at work in Marlo's organization and how it filtered into the lives of everyone in West Baltimore, including little shits like Kenard.
And I am pretty much just saying the same thing that you said but I am saying it again because isn't it fun just to sit and think about how great The Wire is and now I want to go back and rewatch it again.
Huh. I don't think I agree with you re: Omar's code. He held so closely to it that he risked his life to avenge Butchie because he had to bring justice. Omar's downfall was just shitty luck, ultimately. I don't think killing Sevino even counts as breaking his code, as Sevino was involved with the Marlo organization. Especially compared to his treatment of Slim Charles and that other dude he cornered. Omar held to his code through it all, but time just ran out.
Also, dissecting the wire is awesome!
Avon Barksdale = Vito Corleone
Stringer Bell = Sonny Corleone
That's it. That is all you need to know about what Stringer Bell did wrong.
Also, while we're on the subject, Marlo Stanfield = Michael Corleone. Motherfucker is merciless!
No one mentions Dancer in the Dark? Now THAT is the saddest fictional movie ever (Dear Zachary is the saddest of everything ever).
This lady knows what I'm talking about:

Did no one tell them that teaser trailers are actually not two and a half minutes but usually more like 30 seconds?
Also, with great power comes I wish Martin Sheen was in the whole movie (spoiler alert, he's not). Actually, I just wish they'd make a movie about Spiderman as a divorced old man, played by Martin Sheen
While there may be some validity to the whole "practiced gaffes" thing, but chutzpah is actually a weird word to pronounce and I would probably screw it up or just avoid it all together.
On the other end of liberal bloggers ripping her to shreds: I don't really think chutzpah is a thing to rip someone to shreds over, or all that embarrassing. Much more embarrassing is the fact that Michelle Bachmann is an asshole and doesn't understand what governance means.
I mostly disagree. I mean, I love them both, but I actually think Parks and Rec is the pinnacle of the entire idea of NBC's Thursday night lineup. It is both amazingly funny and also quite touching without being sappy. It's the triple threat (the third threat is Ron Swanson's mustache, I think).
Community is very smart and clever, but lacks any sentimentality, and I think that's to its detriment.
Wow, Hugh, is that a grapefruit in your pocket or are you just happy to see me? I mean seriously, what is in your pocket because that thing looks devastating.
I didn't like Brokeback Mountain. I thought it was a relatively boring and uninteresting love story with a singular hook ( "it's a love story, but they're GAY!") that never succeeded in really emotionally engaging me all that much. Maybe if the movie was actually made in the 50s instead of the aughts I would be more impressed, but it is actually sad that such a film could be considered edgy in this day and age.
Also, neither it nor Crash deserved best picture that year, but that is typical of the LAMESTREAM Hollywood elite media!
"Hey, so what's the dress code for this party tonight?"
"Oh, probably pretty casual. It's not a big thing"
"Damn."
"What?"
"Well, I wanted to wear my hot new Beyonce (is that Beyonce?) outfit."
"Dude, you totally should! I mean, it's not THAT casual. You won't look overdressed, I promise."
"Yeah, you're right! Nobody ever had a problem with someone looking TOO good!"
Case closed.
I support all of this. Downtown LA has some really great areas!
But there's also Skid Row, which has preserved its reputation with good reason. Skid Row is honestly the saddest sight I have ever seen in a city. Granted, I haven't been to New York much, but it is a very bad area that needs a lot of help.
That doesn't mean people should avoid Downtown at all though! Wurstkuche! The Edison! The Redwood! Cole's! Varnish! Even the Art Walk! MOCA!
Apparently John Rhys-Davies pooped in his costume during the filming of Raiders of the Lost Ark. It's less funny because he was sick with dysentery at the time, but I laughed out loud when I read it. I mean, we've all been there, right?

Is Copper Cab real? I've never really understood the whole "Copper Cab" thing, as it seems preposterous that some 15 (?) year old kid out there could be that mad constantly and even willing to put his anger up on the internet for everyone to identify him (obviously some people know who he really is?).
Like, the original Copper Cab video seems like it could come from a genuine place of kids making fun of him for "being a ginger," although that is not actually an insult, but the whole thing continuing, often without direction? It just feels fake. Like eventually he will whip out a Samsung Galaxy and tell all the haters he's better than them but the cool kids can get one now! Promotional!
Honestly the most shocking thing about this whole thread is that we're having a civilized conversation about religion over the internet. Which I thought to be impossible. There really is a God! Way to go everyone!
