Shall we anticpate the AMC series "Breaking Bad"? I think I may.

Do you believe in evil

"Yeah. I think it's right next to good, inside every person."

And have you encountered it yourself?

"I had one girlfriend I wanted to kill."

Is that really what heaven looks like?

Netflix UK showing them just after US transmission.

lucky bastards. we don't even get that on our own Netflix!

fucking A, really?
I signed up to Netflix for Arrested Dev and figured I'd keep it until I'd rescreened all of BB.

my bad, it has up through season 4. but i meant that netflix doesn't get the show after broadcast

weirdly, Irish language network TG4 is the only TV channel in the UK and Ireland that's shown Breaking Bad up to now

(I'm in the UK, this is good, sorry US netflix guys)

does anyone know if you have to be physically in the uk to use uk netflix streaming, or do you just need a card with a uk billing address like itunes?

I think it's a DNS thing.

skinny pete is in the newest malick, and he is grotesque

Caek if you have a US netflix account you can still watch UK content through unblock-us or unotelly

(or a vpn)

Wait so these are going up on Netflix one-by-one, not all at once at the end of the series? Awesome.

Chills.

bigtime. i have no doubt they're just going to go for the jugular in every single second of the last few episodes.

did anyone watch that writers room show

Does anyone know what format Breaking Bad is shot on? I sort of assumed it was 35mm but maybe not? It definitely looks like film.

you are correct

^spoileriffic btw

Oh good, the Weird Al/Breaking Bad mashup is here! Colorless green ideas sleep furiously.

listen here mr. buffalo buffalo buffalo etc; don't knock it till you watch it. Well edited!

On s4 of the re-watch and keep remembering amazing little bits still to come. Like Jesse's dinner with the Whites.

i just wrapped up my re-watch and oh god i should have time it better, how can i possibly wait two weeks??

timedddd.

walt's billy big balls crimelord persona that develops through season 5 is just so hateable, can't wait for hank to waste him.

xp amateur!
I thought I might be a little bored the second time round but it's so story-intensive that I spent a lot of time 1st time wondering what was gonna happen, the mechanics of it all etc. This time I'm enjoying concentrating on the other stuff.
It's mad how from the very start Hank is given a thousand little clues that IT'S WALT but obviously the thought is a long way from his mind.

adamrl its shot on 16mm

no it's not

if it isn't now then they changed formats. that's what the first few seasons are shot on

how over the top is this going to get, I wonder

looks like the end of 'the conversation' with those glasses

I thought all of BB was shot on 35mm with maybe the exception of the pilot?

yeah its 35mm. i dont know where i got 16 from

Interview with Bryan Cranston and Dean Norris (Hank) in the Guardian today - http://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2013/aug/02/breaking-bad-bryan-cranston-interview

New episodes on Netflix from Monday 12th in the UK :)

just finishing up the first half of season 5 -- i love how this season has really amped up the western story aspects of the show -- like the train robbery, the stand off with the other meth dealing crew etc. also loved walter really losing it and how his inzanity affects the rest of his team.

The pacing on this show has gotten completely batshit, starting with S5E08 and then all of the last half of S5 so far has been like waaaay too much shit moving the plot along in a v stuffy and cluttered way. Like I feel like I missed 3 or 4 episodes somewhere

YO, MAD SPOLERS, BITCH

the fact that Hank finds out abt Walt in the last 30 sec of one episode, and then entirely within the next episode we have Walt realizing Hank knows, and then Hank realizing that Walt knows that he knows, all the cards on the table in the course of 45 min; like where is the buildup and tension and suspense? This is stupid nuts.

we discussed this upthread, although many of us were fond of the way that was handled. I personally didn't want the "will Hank discover Heisenberg" trope being something that lorded over the season until like ep 6 or 7, as that's clichéd, though to be honest it is what I expected. I liked that they got it out of the way.

sorry, not this thread, the "Anticipate Season Five" thread.

there's already been like 5.5 seasons of build-up! i love it, it's like ok, now we know that's not going to be the game this season, so what's next?

Oh, sunny successor......

things that weirded me out
a) that slightly off variation of the theme music + that english song towards the end of the trailer
b) walt's wife smiling and nodding in approval when he beats up those kids making fun of his son

look who failed chemistry

Aw not a single 'Yo Perra'

Also LOLs at 'it's a new drug'
