| | New TV recommendation: HBO's "Hung". A broke Motown coach with a bit more luck in the trousers and a bit less luck in life decides, when all you're doing is packin', might as well get crackin'.
Masterfully directed with intense visual innuendos crammed into almost every other shot, clever verbal suggestiveness packed into the dialogue, downright insane double entendres and a damned brilliant performances by Thomas Jane and Jane Adams. Anne Heche's terrifying forehead also makes an appearance, as his ex-wife who's now married to the little guy that was in the Punisher with Thomas Jane.
(plus, there's a conversation in the middle of the show after a one-night stand, that I have literally had before, damn near precisely. precisely. both creepy and hilarious to watch it acted out in a dramedy fashion, I says.)
It's going to be my new "Show", now that Breaking Bad and all the other stuff I watch is over for the season, some of which until 2010. You always gotta have that one "Show". Otherwise television destroys your mind and rots your intellect and you end up watching late-nite VH1 programming, which may be one of the worst things in the world.
It's funny. It's smart. It's incredibly well-directed, and it's put-together in a way that shows a lot of promise. The soundtrack is pretty damn comical timed as well. I wasn't sure what I expected about a series about a down-on-his-luck high school coach who's just some guy with a big dick, but it's some fucking funny stuff, and I recommend it highly. Go download the pilot if you have to.
Now, while I'm waiting for next week, to catch up on my Oz dvds. Oh, Adebisi, how do you keep that silly hat on...
