Well, people on this show are always doing alarming, distressing things Agreed on Mike though. Jonathan Banks might be my favorite actor on this show right now, but I can't wait for Cranston and Aaron Paul to go into Batman/Robin mode once again.

How is Robin Yount's career counter to the Yankees?

Ted was under house arrest from a couple of Saul's thugs. When he tried to run away, he slipped on a rug and snapped his neck on a piece of furniture.

Love Godzilla, but he'll need to purchase a ticket to the HoF like the rest of us.

Absolutely. He's easily the most successful Japanese born player, and probably would've had 4,000 hits had he played his entire career in MLB.

Agreed to some extent, but they don't beat the dead horse quite so much as some American shows. The 6 episodes per season system is something I admire about British TV.

I always say that we must have a bunch of perfect 10s on this board! Geeze, her legs aren't good enough for some of you??

4/5 was my rating. The number is meant to represent the movie's objective value in the realm of film, whereas the body of the text holds Nolan to his own standard of excellence. Because, let's be honest, TDKR blows most summer blockbusters out of the water. And yet I think it might be Nolan's worst effort. And thanks!

One plot hole that bears mentioning: After Bruce Wayne escapes the prison hole, he just shows back up in Gotham. How did he get there? Every bridge and tunnel is closed down, and there are obviously no aircraft coming in or out. I realize there's suspension of disbelief, but this represents more of a logical break.

My review for The Dark Knight Rises...Spoilers included. http://www.entertainment-bureau.com/the-dark-knight-rises-review-reviewsday-tuesday/2579

This a textbook example of how not to communicate. You're cutting yourself off at the knees when you hedge your bets with "I understand if you don't want to talk." Additionally, if she's hot she knows it. You don't gain any points by telling her so. You can benefit yourself by making a point of not bringing it up.

Good points. If you notice, the only characters still using the term Heisenberg are the DEA. To Walt and his inner circle, there's no point in making the distinction.

I'm going to disagree slightly. I'd say that right now is the height of his Heisenberg attitude. He thinks he's a winner and nothing can stop him. In the opening clip, he seems nervous. His speech and actions are stilted. Then again, Heisenberg trapped in a corner is even more dangerous than cocky Heisenberg.

Thanks for the intel I think that the gun undoubtedly gets used, no point introducing a toy of that magnitude without a payoff. Big questions are, who is it used against? And what happens to make Walt feel he needs that level of protection?

Happy birthday mill! Just for today, Go Blue Jays!

My thoughts on last night's episode. Spoilers throughout... http://www.entertainment-bureau.com/breaking-bad-review-episode-5-02-madrigal/2559

I like that take. The first season, the pilot in particular, illustrates that Walt begins with his family as the primary motivation. But the official turning point, to me, is when he blows up Tuco's office. Looking back, you can trace Walt's addiction to power and influence back to when he's celebrating in the Aztec with his hat on. Getting into the philosophy of the show, I think Gilligan's point might be that the concept of inherent badness is just a comforting lie that we tell ourselves. Every person is capable of "breaking bad". How many characters on the show haven't resorted to their dark side under pressure? Pretty much just Hank and Walt Jr. And even Hank mistreated Marie emotionally when he was paralyzed. The worst thing that Skyler could have done was to verbalize that she fears Walt. Up until now, she had the upper hand because she could dangle their relationship like a carrot.

I usually agree with you on this stuff, zepp, but to me this smacks of idolatry toward Walt's new persona. And I really don't think that was Gilligan's intent. Walt's activity, especially that under the guise of Heisenberg (and the lines are blurred now) certainly isn't admirable.

STEVE HOLT!

Banner offseason for the NFL. Is this the 4th arrest of the week?

I can't decide what's more disgusting, the clear agenda or the fact that one of America's oldest broadcasting giants doesn't bother with fact checking anymore.

Marilyn Manson's Rolling Stone article about the scapegoat mentality in light of the Columbine shootings rings true today I don't agree with everything he says, but the media are still a bunch of vultures who facilitate our seeming instinct to play the blame game. Except he made specific reference to "you all", presumably the liberals on PPP who had made no such comment. The whole thing reeked of his hostile me-against-the-world shtick.

Well, I haven't made a single post relating the TEA Party to violence, so if he was mocking me he was barking up the wrong tree. In this particular case I'd say that fear of a copycat is far from illogical, especially give the film's subject matter (and its predecessor's). That said, I'm still going tonight.

I can't even fathom another interpretation of your post. Jokingly put or not, your first reaction to all of this is that the damn liberals are going to politicize it. And hey, maybe they will, but you beat them to the punch.

HFBD jobyst! Do it up right.
