Re: Breaking Bad
You should do this as a poll or everyone has to reply. But I watch it. I'm sure a thread already exists for it somewhere but when is it back?

Re: Breaking Bad
There was a scene where Mike takes Jesse to the middle of the desert to dig up some collection cash, it lasted perhaps 3 minutes but involved multiple camera scenes of which no less than a half a dozen editing techniques were applied plus... a helicopter shot of the car ride, an ahead and behind view of the car ride, multiple side shots of the car ride then once they arrive at the collection site the crew employed no less than 4 angles of the barren desert locale with crane shots and added 360 degree rail shots along with the zoom up rail shots.
I felt within that 3 minutes I was in the desert with a hitman, you get involved. The integrity of the cinematography alone blows my mind. The music is always top notch and these guys are ace actors with brilliant writers. I love Breaking Bad, it's insanely detail oriented.

Re: Breaking Bad
i don't like the actress who plays skylar though. she kind of has this smacking noise in her voice when she talks that i can't not notice. plus she looks really similar to a horrible roommate i used to have so there's that
i guess none of these things are her fault really but still |

Re: Breaking Bad
Best show on TV since the Sopranos. Granted, I only have basic cable and watched all the episodes of Sopranos on DVD.
As stated above by yeahwho, cinematography is amazing, and I always have this feeling like this could actually happen to somebody..

Re: Breaking Bad
EDIT: sorta a sopranos spoiler
Think it'll end like the sopranos? Walt: "Jesse, with a little tweak this blue meth can be used to cure cancer. It might kill the test patient so I'm going to have to try it on myself" Jesse: "Mr White, I don't think that is such a bitchin' idea..." **CUTS TO BLACK** |

Re: Breaking Bad
Hey, I just finished watching the entire series of The Wire and my god that was totally better than the sopranos, it was the best TV series I have ever seen.
How does BB stack up against the wire?? Similar with the world surrounding the drug culture, or am I way off?

Within two months I finished all 5 seasons of the Wire completely immersed. Breaking Bad doesn't have quite the same level of all encompassing social commentary, but it is just as addictive in another way and I started out watching it with an identical question to myself, why should I care anything about the motives and reasons of the crystal meth culture? Because it's the places I don't go that usually effect me much more than I readily understand. Breaking Bad is not quite as believable as the Wire but equal, maybe even more intense than the Wire.

Re: Breaking Bad
breaking bad is much more of a story about the characters and the consequences of their actions than about drug or inner city culture, i feel...still amazing, just different
one thing i keep thinking about re: breaking bad (and i feel like i've typed this before, probably in that other breaking bad thread we keep alluding to) is that pretty much every bad thing that happens to walt and his family in the show stems from his decision to shoot down his (ex-)friends' charity when they offered to pay for his chemo. they were like "we'll pay for it, no questions ask" and walt said basically "fuck you backstabbing jerks, i'm too proud for your money, i'm gonna sell drugs and lie to my family" and then everything else happens. walt is kind of a cunt, really but cunts make such interesting protagonists sometimes |

Re: Breaking Bad
it's pretty badass, I live in Albuquerque, and get the opportunity to see people from the show hanging out around town. Steven Michael Quezada (Agent Gomez on the show) is a local here, grew up here and is using his Breaking Bad popularity to benefit the community.
Cranston does a lot of volunteering as well. The show is great, I've seen all the episodes at this point and it's probably one of the most well written great shows I've ever seen

Re: Breaking Bad
Great show and I think there was a beastie boys song on one of the episodes, it was an instrumental and I'm pretty sure it was a season finale but don't quote me on it.

Yeah Bryan Cranston is an amazing actor, my boyfriend and I watched an episode of malcom in the middle after watching seasons 1-3 of breaking bad in a row on netflix (first time we had even seen it, i havent even gotten to see season 4 yet!) and it was bizarre hahaha. I read that season 5 comes out in may but im 1 season behind now im not sure when they will put season 4 on netflix until then i have to wait to watch the new season :/ What season did they use Shambala in? I didnt even realize that.

Re: Breaking Bad
So I think Bob's point is right on here. People have choices and sometimes choose unwisely. Should of taken the help and not become a drug dealer... seems hate lead to the decision and that seems to never work out for me.
