Hopefully your 'vast majority' doesn't include things like Oedipus Rex and Medea.

You actually got a lot right. The one thing no one saw coming was how he would manipulate Gray Matter into giving the money to Flynn. And of course, Walt dies.

Um… porkpie hat?

An M60 emptying out is likely very disturbing and can be heard for miles around, so likely someone other than Walt called them in.

Walt doesn't get away with what he wanted. His end is a poor consolation prize next to what he wanted—to give the money to his family with his family still intact. That was obliterated in Ozymandias. Walt collapsing to the desert floor ("his shattered visage lies…") was the death of his dream. From that point on he

This is why Gray Matter is so crucial to who Walt is in the show, and why it's a must to bring that arc back in the closing episodes—If Walt had handled the entire situation better—still leaving the company but remaining a stock holder for example (let alone swallowing his pride and staying with the company) he may

I think we're done with NH, and I think Marie and Skyler and the kids make it out OK.

Could have hooked one leg through the bars, then pushed with the other one. Little bit of a Ninja Warrior move for Mr. Pinkman, but it could happen.

There's an interesting article by FILM CRIT HULK about the voting rules at the Emmys. Apparently, you can vote for your own show—meaning anyone who works for HBO can vote for their nominees, and of course HBO owns more stations than anyone else and therefore has more employees (most of whom are probably heavily pushed

Yeah, the more I think about it, he's going back to destroy production of his legacy, and likely burn out along with it. Everyone else's fate will be a by-product.

I still love Sansho the Bailiff more (Mizo did more with ripples on water than any director in history), but this is the film that made me really start to consider his place next to Ozu.

It was this part that made me think he would have been great as the Vacuum Repair guy in Breaking Bad, but of course Forster has his own unique charm.

I was introduced to both of Noonan's films The Wife and What Happened Was a couple of years ago on Mubi during a competition that pits different directors from all over the world against each other in friendly competition. Of all the obscurities I was exposed to in that year's game, Noonan's film has really stayed

I was in high school when Nevermind came out, and I rode the wave and devoured the other bands that came with it—Pearl Jam and The Smashing Pumpkins and Alice in Chains, Tool, STP, and to some extent Soundgarden (I was actually introduced to The Pixies at a U2 concert of all things, but they made an impression). Some

There's no way to delay that trouble comin every day.

I would like to announce my availability to be adopted by a rich gay couple.

I was there at about the exact same time you were, climbing up Baldy mountain to the very top, having a snowball fight in August with my buddies.

The reason Walt was so upset by Hank's death wasn't because he cared about Hank so much, but because once Hank was killed there would be no way for him to ever go back to the way things were. When Hank dropped dead to the floor of the desert, Walt did, too. It was all over. That is why he went scorched earth on Jesse.
