Rafted the Grand Canyon two years ago.  Night sky was mind-blowing (shooting stars, satellites, a billion stars) compared to humid cloudy light-polluted west central Florida.

Check your hair, Saul.

I liked the comments about "earning" shocking moments like the school shooting;  I tuned in to this episode to see what the response would be, not how it relates to Jax and Co., but how Sutter would depict the effect on Charming.

In gambling, it's sometimes called the "threshold of misery."

"Doublecross" is probably the wrong word; I'm not sure what to call it. He steals Walt's money, even though there obviously wasn't a deal.

Walt's slow motion faceplant in the dirt seems like a shout out to the flashback in One Upon a Time in the West (harmonica).

Last episode, Walt calls the Aryans and tells them he has a fix on Jesse, the hapless lone meth-head space case, whom he wants taken out painlessly and discreetly.

Uncle Jack is a trip. I was a little worried when it became obvious the Nazis (or Aryans or whatever) were going to be the season five villains, because they're always the go-to's when you need an unambiguous enemy.  But his laid-back bemused nonchalance as he goes about his crimes and doublecrosses is weirdly…

The sad thing is, Jesse warned Hank (and Gomez) that Walt is the devil, he's lucky, and however you think this is gonna go, the opposite will happen. And then the Aryans show up.

I agree with dygitalninja below.  Walt's saving Hank.

T plays it cool.

Also Creepshow, First Blood, Blue Thunder.

I'll give it to Thunderball over Goldfinger.

Yeah, but I dig MWTHGG (and LALD, to an extent) for their kind-of low-rent seediness (Harlem, French Quarter, Thailand, strippers, funhouse shootouts,  Kung Fu, pushing around women and children, etc.).  These are the assignments 007 gets stuck with when nuclear submarines and space shuttles aren't being hijacked.

Moonraker was the first Bond I saw in the theater.  If you were seven years old and had never seen a Bond flick before, it was the greatest thing ever (lasers, gadgets, explosions, space shuttles).

I like Octopussy best of all the 80s Bond flicks, especially compared to AVTAK and FYEO (which I find dreary).  Kickass teaser sequence, a whole bunch of good-looking women, a real plot, the one genuinely suspenseful countdown sequence, Bruce Boa cameo, Berkoff's gonna Berkoff, India-blocked Temple of Doom by one…

When I was a 12 year old Dirty Harry fan, we were all excited to have a new movie. But it is terrible. The first half is basicly a Dirty Harry's Greatest Hits montage, and the second half is a.lame small town mystery. And since they couldn't have Locke be the real villain, they literally have a slobbering creep…

Vince Gilligan seems to come off pretty well.

With regards to Chinatown, I just remind myself that the other hundreds of people who worked on the movie to make it a classic are probably fine, decent people.

Back in the days when Eddie showed up on the cover of Guitar World about once every three issues, it was conventional wisdom that he was the goofy, affable one and that DLR was the raging asshole.
