David Simon Is Still Talking, Dammit

18 Mar 2008 04:41 pm

I was going to say something about David Simon's latest attempt to prove that he doesn't care what the critics thought about the final season of The Wire, not at all, not one little bit, but just for the record he's smarter than all of the self-interested, can't see the forest for the trees, would never have made it back in the old days when true newsmen roamed the earth journalists who got all caught up in boring stuff like "plot" and "characterization" and "dialogue" and just didn't have enough perspective on their business to get how frickin' brilliant his critique of the modern newsroom really was. But Vulture beat me to it.

While I'm on the culture beat, I'd also like to associate myself with Vulture's remarks about the wonderful Judy Greer.
