The Wire - Let's Go Shopping with Jimmy and Omar

[trollfinger]

It's insane to think McNulty and Stringer are British. I'm not American, maybe they can they're not, but their accents seems spot on.

And Carcetti is from Dublin... God damn good actors.

[agent1442]

@trollfinger I'm American and I picked up on McNulty's fairly early on. He put an extra 'r' sound between two vowels (very slightly) so I had to look him up. He does do a better American than I can any British accent, so I can't really criticize too much. For Stringer, I didn't suspect he was British until I saw him in an interview. Carcetti fooled me too.

Also, don't forget many of the American-born actors who aren't from Baltimore fake those Baltimore 'o' and 'u' sounds pretty well.

lol I wonder if Omar was thinkin' "man these suits iz gay"

[JDreamM23]

@madrespectvolleyball HAHAHA! wow that made me laugh!

[TheBarax]

sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeit!

[paraparrot]

anything with a tie...

[Abazigal]

"It's a look"

"No it ain't"

I nearly piss myself laughing every time i see this scene.

[fyckthissht]

omar is kind of inconsistent here. apparently he doesn't like to dress formally, but later on when it shows him taking his grandma to church, he is looking quite dapper. i wish the writers were more consistent when it came to the minor details. i know they wrote each season as their last, but still.

[CuervoBlack06]

But that's the difference there. He don't give a shit about looking nice for regular folks but when it comes to Grandma. The woman that raised him he has to look nice for her, especially for church.

[Dannyb0y24]

he was making a fake life all for his grandmam they are consistent.

[gauchebag]

@fyckthissht

he only dresses formally when he's around his grandma

she doesn't know what he does for a living, but he isn't going to change who he is for a bunch of white people

[oybbib12]

@fyckthissht the guy doesn't want to wear a flamboyant yellow jacket, that doesn't mean he doesn't like to dress formally. if i had to pick a suit, that would be my last choice too.

[trollfinger]

@oybbib12

Did you not see what he actually wore ? That was flamboyant as fuck.

[oybbib12]

@trollfinger To the trial he wore a tie jokingly tied around his neck, when he picks his grandmother up he looks respectable in a normal suit, I don't recall any flamboyancy in either scene.

[trollfinger]

@oybbib12

I meant the tie with the track suit. It was a joke. A bad one now I look back at it haha

[Hoopylasss11]

@fyckthissht what makes you think they wrote each one as their last?

i read that they had it planned/half written as a 5 season series from day one.

[schari30]

OHH OMAR LITTLE how do i miss thee; definitely will go down as one of the best written and excuted characters in television history....what the hell did we do before HBO??

[TopShotta10904]

@schari30 i think the scar on his grill tells that....

[aharris82]

That would of been AWESOME if they would of shown a montage of Omar trying on different outfits :D

[Exeunt26]

Hah! Omar is always good value for money.

[MarkLip]

A missed opportunity there for a Pretty Woman style montage of Omar trying on different outfits.

[Kartel10304]
