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

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'

Gilligan: Todd was weirdly likable to me.

Paul: He shot Andrea! And the kid on the bike!

Gilligan: But he didn't mean anything by it.

god, i'd almost completely forgot about todd.

reading that makes me want to watch the whole show over again

I only just got round to finishing season 5 so todd's cheery psycho act is fresh in my mind.

Todd was so into Lydia

The guy who played Todd turned up on Drunk History as Edgar Allan Poe.

Yeah that was a good moment.

Please refer to him as Lance

article is cool because vince gilligan looks like an exact halfway combination of aaron paul + bryan cranston

pretty lame there's no skylar box. she should be S2.

Been marathon watching this for the first time, just starting S4. So avoiding most of this thread. But just want to share this:

wow, that exists
combo as madrox the multiple man

Just finished it a few weeks ago but still not ready to talk.

I was just watching an episode of 90s antiques-based drama Lovejoy and there was a long shot with a kidnap victim handover that, if you swapped the rural Somerset landscape for New Mexico, could've been straight out of Breaking Bad.

Hank and Steve on the wall next to the door there?

hah good catch

amazing that this is gonna be a Netflix thing, you could do a wide theatrical release of this couldn't you?

I just learned that the guy who plays Skinny Pete is apparently 50! They wanted to cast an older guy playing a younger guy to show the ravages of meth.

i just watched GOOD TIME last night and i was wondering if Jennifer Jason Leigh was supposed to be playing someone her age or much younger, for similar drug ravages-related reasons.

though she is someone who still seems a good decade or so younger than she really is.

v much not interested in the latter day struggles of Jesse Pinkman, I have to say. By the end he was more of a totem than a character. Is Skyler gonna get an after-Breaking Bad movie too lol

me neither but I originally thought basing a show around the sleazy lawyer was a silly idea so what do I know
