Someone needs to save Cranston.  He needs to be doing better things with his BB cred.

They fear the poor sap making the cake?  Really?  You don't mean they fear BEING the guy who makes the cake?  Or they FEEL for the guy making the cake?  I never got the impression that they were afraid of Art.

That actually makes a lot of sense.  For whatever reason — the subjective nature of comedy, etc. etc. — it probably won't make me laugh any more at the joke, but I'll appreciate more what the show was going for with it.

I'm realizing now one reason AD ranks as "very funny show" and not "top spot in my heart" for me.

I think you hit the nail on the head by focusing on the fact that plot is something that has the appearance of objectivity, that plot holes and character motiviations can be objectively described and shortcomings clearly articulated.  I say "appearance of objectivity" because the significance of such things is where…

THANK YOU.  I've also known about the Buffalo buffalo…. thing for years, but nobody has ever been able to explain it to me in a way that made sense.  This translation is far more effective than all the others — which required the insertion of words like "whom" or "that" or simply pointed out trivia (the definition of…

It matters if the movies explain these things because movies shouldn't require us to do homework.  There mere fact that the explanation is possible, that it is out there, that some other version of the story included it, does not make the movie better.  To that end, why make the movie at all if important character…

At the same time, Jackson routinely cut character motivation, so much so that I began to wonder if it was somehow a deliberate choice on his part.  In each case, the extended editions give a BIT more about character motivation, often with just a line of dialogue or two.  And annoyingly, sometimes only a line or two is…

I wonder if we're ever going to be inside Walt's head again.  When the show began, we were mostly in his head — the insecurities around Hank, the general sense of living life as a nervous shlub, meek and put-upon, etc.  When Walt did something, the show was set up in such a way as to encourage the viewer to think…

Seriously, how are more people not talking about that?  That was AWESOME!  That was fascinating.  Did they always know he could do that?  Did they ever think they'd use it?  How guilty do I feel for assuming that this actor wouldn't have that kind of talent?
