Music on TV almost never works. And on a show that often seemed to be about nothing more than observing the day-to-day tick by, allotting more than a quarter of each episode to it made something that should have been breezy fun, even! At times, Creighton, who was based on the late blogger Ashley Morris, seemed like a surrogate for Simon, a man prone to expletive-filled jeremiads against the government and the philistines who misunderstood his city.
Creighton took to the Internet via a nascent YouTube and quickly became a visible mouthpiece for all the furious residents of N. His rants echoed the same belligerence Simon had for things like "notes" from HBO, the network that has bankrolled his vision for several years. And Goodman, one of the truly great characters actors in the world, a person impossible to not watch, is off the show after having done little other than yell into a Web Cam and hector his students.
But Antoine floats just like the rest, ducking his kids, then seeing them, watching old friends die, jangling on Second-lines at funerals.
He was great, and did nothing. None of it seemed to matter. The less said about him the better. And his journey was a glorious, full-hearted, visually beautiful completion. But it was rare. Sonny is possessive and less talented than Annie. Best musical moment: I found this week's extended and overlapping musical interludes wherein Janette cooked, Davis threw a party and Antoine played live went on way too long; it's just too much to expect people to watch minute after minute of nothing much happening.
And, they were all very badly lit the director was Dan Attias , so that once again it was hard to see what was going on. This may make for some realistic shots, but realism is not always the best choice. However, there was some great violin playing from Lucia Micarelli as Annie began to enjoy her new life playing with new musicians.
Details of all the music used in this episode can be found here. She made sure he understood that, when they slept together last week, it was "a Mardi Gras fuck — that's all". The Voice of David Simon: there was something of Simon in Albert's contention that "sometimes the battles worth fighting are the ones you know you're gonna lose".
Treme: season one, episode nine. Ladonna makes an unexpected decision, Creighton solves his writer's block and New Orleans' defective work ethic is revealed. Why we have so much to celebrate. And it can show where we can still go. Bernette is a Tulane professor, rumored to be based on the Tulane educator, and colorful personality, Ashley Morris, who passed away recently. The character was actually a late add-on, with the feisty professor created after Simon and Overmyer already had their main characters in place.
And we needed that person to be a Tulane professor and a sort of commentator for the city. And the first person we thought of was John. And for the first time in a long time, momentum is building in his city. There's a brand-new mayor. This season's Mardi Gras brought the biggest crowds since Hurricane Katrina, local authorities estimate. And, of course, the New Orleans Saints won the Super Bowl, the first time in the team's year history.
Believe me, I wouldn't have said that a few months ago. And yet, Goodman co-stars in the new HBO series "Treme," which forces him to look back — with no small amount of anger — at the worst moment in the city's history.
