Meh. 5/10

I only really liked the truck chase at the beginning of the film.

I thought Foxx was meh. I don't think he added anything substantial other actors couldn't.

8/10

Thanks,

It's a solid, interesting movie that keeps you guessing.

In the spirit of hot fuzz, yaaaaaaaaaaarp.

When it comes to breaking bad, I've found the most effective encouragement/endorsement is (rather than rant and rave at length and try to push it on people) all ill say, and say it only once, is this: it is without exaggeration far and away simply the best television show I have ever seen. I don't mean favorite, I *do* mean best.

I agree with Bugger, this is a great show. After watching the 1st 2 episodes at a friends I was hooked and wound up watching the 1st 4 seasons on Netflix in just over a month. Definitely worth watching.

Deadwood was an amazing show...too bad it only lasted 3 seasons.

As far as Breaking Bad goes, it's a good show, but not best ever. I put it top 3 shows right now...and possibly top 5 of all time.

I personally think Game of Thrones is the best thing on tv right now. Followed by Breaking Bad, Mad Men, Sons of Anarchy, Walking Dead and Boardwalk Empire in really no particular order. Also enjoy American Horror Story and Archer bit those aren't dramas.

As far as best ever.....no way you could ever convince me that there was a better drama than the Sopranos. Mad Men is up there too, although the last two seasons weren't nearly as good...but I argue w people all the time that Breaking Bad doesn't get overwhelmingly great until about season 3 on.

So far Game of Thrones has yet to disappoint me. Lot of seasons left in it's run....but so far it's the only thing close to full enjoyment like the Sopranos for me....the Sopranos NEVER disappointed.

For the sake of major spoilers I'll wont say why I'm super upset w outcomes in season 5 of Breaking Bad and Sons of Anarchy for a lot of the same reasons. I know bugger probably knows why.

The Sopranos is getting very close to next in line on my list of television to watch (Twin Peaks' time has finally come so I've just started that). I may want to wait a few months though until I've gotten the LSAT out of the way; I don't want 8 (it's that many, right?) seasons distracting me, or to give it less than my full attention.

I've seen about a season of Mad Men and while it's interesting to examine, I think it pales in comparison to Breaking Bad because it's not terribly interesting to follow. Okay, yes, it explores the 1960s, but it's very hard to feel invested in anything that happens, or at least to the degree that you feel invested in events of the shows that are generally considered its peers (Breaking Bad and The Wire). By contrast, the Wire proved that you can be both interesting and gripping.

1. I was thoroughly disappointed in Pacific Rim. I have a pet peeve of people judging movies for something they were never meant to be... but even with that in mind I can't like that movie.

However.. and I guess it might be done on purpose because of the big deal Jesse makes about movie endings, the ending sucked. I hated it.

Why do people make a decent movie and then just ruin it with the ending?

Thanks,
Jazaray

I thought it was ok. I enjoyed watching all the flashbacks. They reminded me how good the show was.

Of course, I thought it could have ended better. But, I still thought it was a solid show.

-Everything past season 1 sucked.
-It was... popular even though it was very poorly constructed and predictable. Thoughts?

Fixed.

Eh, season 2 was still pretty solid. I think season 3 is where things really started to go downhill. I still watched the show through its entire run. There were several good episode in there, even if the bigger story got too muddled near the end.

It happens with far too many shows. They come up with a solid concept, but don't really have any idea how they actually want to finish the story when the time comes to end the series. Most of that is due to the uncertainty surrounding whether a show will survive. Many shows don't even get to air their entire first season if they don't meet ratings expectations out of the gate. Who wants to put a bunch of time in to developing a long term plan when there's no guarantee you will even get to air anything past episode 12?
