Am I the only one?
So, I think that the scene in Singles (1992) where Steve is lying on the floor of his trashed apartment listening to jazz and staring up at the ceiling is a direct quote from the scene in Mo Better Blues (1990) when Denzel loses his ability to play jazz ands is doing the same. Can someone confirm or deny this?

i dunno. i haven't seen either in so long that i can't think of the scenes in question. i am only writing this comment so i can segue (segway?) into discussion about how the movie version of Clockers is either drastically underrated or just terrible, which is a shame. Wire fans: clockers is just like the wire, except actually set in 1992, instead of just fake-set in 1992.
I'm surprised more people here other than ben have seen both movies.
further wire commentary: this shit in the middle of season 3 with McNulty and the weird bug-eyed lobbyist chick is really stretching it. and it's not like i am not just sitting there rooting for mcnulty to continue being mcnulty, because i am. i mean, come on, he fucking stalked her, followed her to a different city, and she's like "oh, word, let's have sex again." come on. also, she's not *supposed* to be like, craniofacially speaking, hot right? because she is mostly frightening.
McNulty loves to FUCK THE MACHINE.
She is a cog in the machine. They always are. It's part of why he has so much hate--he thinks he can undo electoral injustice with his wii.
