The Wire star Wendell Pierce — among other cast members — paid tribute to fellow series actor Michael K. Williams Monday after news broke that Williams died at the age of 54.
“The depth of my love for this brother can only be matched by the depth of my pain learning of his loss,” Pierce, who played Detective William “Bunk” Moreland on the HBO series, wrote on Twitter. “An immensely talented man with the ability to give voice to the human condition portraying the lives of those whose humanity is seldom elevated until he sings their truth.

For a second consecutive week, Rubicon proved that it's at its best when the David conspiracy is Not a focus of an episode.
Granted, we learned a few clues about it on "Connect the Dots" - from Ingram's connection to Donald Bloom to whatever the heck is going on at Mrq to the Spangler's shredding of David's Houston paper - but I remain most intrigued by the characters themselves and the effect the world of data analysis has on them.
The scene were Will was forced to lie to Ed in order to prevent another breakdown by the retired Api employee was one of my favorite to date. The former fought back tears as he watched the latter practically fall apart in front of his eyes.
Ed clearly is on to something regarding Bloom and an assassination, however. As Will tries to connect these dots himself, we're left to wonder...

Someone had to make the first Twitter-Wood comparison between "The Wire" and the Rod Blagojevich trial, and Seth Meyers was that man. He, along with Roger Ebert and Jeff Katz had reactions to the single guilty verdict in Chicago last night, and they all posted those thoughts on Twitter.
In other tweets, "Scott Pilgrim vs. The World" has received a lot of love from critics, despite its poor box office performance. Bret Easton Ellis decided to part ways with the pack, however, and declared his dissatisfaction with the movie. Find out how he felt below along with a weird exchange about Target between Michael Ian Black and Dane Cook and insights into Dr. Laura quitting her radio show.
I'm @brianwarmoth, and this is Twitter-Wood for August 18, 2010.

AMC gave viewers a sneak peek at "Rubicon" last night, their new conspiracy thriller series starring James Badge Dale, the star of HBO's "The Pacific." I unfortunately missed it, but I'll be checking out the pilot later today. Anyone out there in reader-land watch it? What did you think?
Badge Dale is a great actor. He got a lot of fans when he spent a season as Chase Edmunds on "24" and he impressed the hell out of me with his work on "The Pacific." There's a great supporting cast surrounding him here too: Miranda Richardson, "The Wire" vets Peter Gerety (Judge Phelan) and Isiah Whitlock, Jr. (Clay Davis), awesome "that guy" actor David Rasche... the list goes on. I'm dead curious to see how the pilot shapes up and am curious to hear what y'all think.
From "Mad Men" and "Breaking Bad" to "Rubicon" and, soon enough, "The Walking Dead.

Here's the next Sex and the City 2 poster. As "The Wire's" Clay Davis would say, "Shiiiiiiit."
The art of airbrushing entails making people look like prettier more shiny versions of themselves, not making them look like completely fucking different people. I do admire the way they've cyborged Sarah Jessica Parker's eyes, though.
Using a sophisticated piece of software, Vince over at FilmDrunk was actually able to strip away the photo-shopped portions of this poster and the results are, well. Unpleasant. Check it out.
