How To Be Nice

How to be nice: Watch this documentary called Overnight (Extra: Roger Ebert review here), and do the exact opposite of what the dude in it does.

Don’t come to meetings hung over and brag about it. Don’t talk about yourself and how awesome you are. Instead talk about your friends and how awesome they are. Don’t disrespect Jon Bon Jovi. Don’t fire your managers and tell them that you’re never giving them any pay even though they’ve worked on your behalf for over a year. Don’t tell your band mates that you’re keeping all of their pay — and even though you say that they deserve it, don’t tell them that you’re still not going to give it to them. Don’t wear a baseball cap everywhere with the title of your movie on it.

And don’t wear overalls — ever.

I’m now watching the final season of The Wire with anticipation and dread. Anticipation for everything I’m seeing and how it’s being wrapped up, and dread in that it will soon be over.

I was going to post my list of my five favorite characters, but making such a list proved to be impossible — I love so many of them. I even tried making a top ten list, but then there wouldn’t be room for Bunk, Ziggy’s Duck, etc.. Yes, Ziggy’s Duck is one of my favorite characters. He knows what he loves.

So okay — if I had to pick, I would say that Omar is my favorite character. This guy makes me want to switch careers and rob drug dealers for a living.

Actually, maybe Bubbles is my favorite character. To tell you the truth, I can’t choose between them. I think they should get their own show where they solve mysteries or live with an alien in the suburbs.

I love this show to death. It’s definitely in my top three along with The Sopranos and MST3k.

I wish I could combine them all into one show and watch it forever. Tony Soprano, Tom Servo, and Bunk on a satellite making fun of bad movies.
