He was very engaged and entertaining in Morning Glory.

True. It's certainly not Austen specific. There's always clear examples to the contrary that we ignore whenever we romanticize any time period.

There's a thing about Austen fanfic like this that I'm noticing. Even Lost in Austen which I really love. Why is it always about a modern people who have read and re-read Austen (or Pride and Prejudice, at least) but still dream about escaping into a nice, gentler time of letters and manners and stuff when if its true

So I'm watching the guy follow the breadcrumb trail of money wondering to myself…you're obligated to report the large sum of abandoned money to the police when you find it, right? Well how large of an amount does it have to be to make it a crime to keep it? if that guy had just stopped after grabbing the bundles in

Not at all TL:DR for me, you actually answered the question I wanted the review to answer. I.E. Am I likely to enjoy this if I liked the first one? But I can't say I have hopes for it with a different director helming the sequel even though I actually really liked Never Back Down.  

You are a pocketful of awesome

I have a weird affection for that movie.

Oh you poor thing!

There is a special circle of hell for whoever decided that movie should be shown on TV every Christmas when you're stuck watching it with your family.

I have never been able to decide if that's an awful movie, or a very good movie about terrible people. Either way, it makes me profoundly uncomfortable yet I've somehow seen it more than once.

Yeah but after "tread lightly" and that cut to black I was feeling less excited about that closed door. I heard that Watchmen line in my head. "I'm not locked in here with you, you're locked in here with me"

Yeah it was kinda awesome that Walt was the one playing it very calm and smiling at Lydia pretending to just be ringing up a customer (like Gus) and Skyler was the one who got to have a "stay out of my territory" moment

And I thought it was just so heart breaking that Jesse is so beaten down that he doesn't even really accuse him of killing Mike, just sort of thinks out loud "…and that's not what you do, so I don't think he's alive anymore"

Call me crazy, but did I hear him call Jesse "son?"

Word. That's like calling him floppy haired.

I mean, we all are…but..

"…walking smirk Max Irons" I'm guessing he's someone's son?

I wound up liking Liz a lot too but I think handing Jess off to Luke and expecting him to just fix the problem is still pretty in keeping with the character we see later on.

You don't know that!

I was coming down here to say that exact thing. MU is formulaic as hell, which was disappointing but after watching the trailer for Turbo it was really refreshing to see a movie that says "Your dream may not be right for you, and that's just fine because you will find something that is"
