El Camino - Jonathan Banks reveals the movie is not just 110 minutes of Jesse Pinkman sitting in an empty room. SPOILERS!

Anna Gunn reveals the movie is in color!  SPOILERS!

“Oh no, your surprises!”  I love you. That quote will live in my memory for all of my days.

I mean, Sam Tarly didn’t argue corporations were people so...

Prediction - the general theme of Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul is about our moral choices and how our choices reveal our character. Walt looked like a good guy and he was presented with countless chances to turn away from darkness, but in he went. That was him. Jimmy was a guy who looked bad (and made bad bad

Ray, I’ve long admired you and your work, but this surely should go in your personal HoF - “Now all my dead relatives can die happy.”  Indeed, Ray. 

Uhhh... Does Brady’s reaction sound like he’s skeptical of women making accusations of sexual assault/rape?  Because that’s how he sounds to me.  (Then again I dislike him intensely and I am therefore checking to see if more rational viewers of Brady feel differently.)

Isn’t this how all storytelling and music have always worked?  I’m curmudgeonly as they come, but your complaint reminds me of people who got mad at rappers for sampling... 

All I know is that plenty of people have committed equally blameless crimes (drug possession, minor forgery and check kiting, petty larceny) and received MUCH MUCH harsher penalties.  And these defendants have nowhere near the resilience of a Huffman or a Loughlin (really?  why did Becky have a career past Full House?)

Wow, that’s fascinating.  You think they’re getting TOO much punishment?  When I look at sentencing for other minor crimes, this feels like a gentle nuzzle on the wrist.

Sometimes the best lawyers can’t make a client see reason.  I suspect that’s what happened here.

YUP.  I look at Iraq and I learn one truth about America.  We will do horrible things and we will NEVER FEEL SORRY.  Candidates who want to make us do better will lose.  We would never have had the turn Japan or Germany did.  We would have doubled down (like Turkey or Austria) and pretended what we did was ok.  Like

This is also true of Bernie Sanders.  They both need to go.  Sanders first.

Yes, definitely.  But, sometimes there is a legitimate axe to grind when a great thing is poorly marketed.  There are situations where the audience would have been there but the network/producers dropped the ball.

I feel so disconnected from the app media culture. And unfortunately, the only access points I have are from (excellent) pop culture things like Ingrid Goes West and Black Mirror. Is there a way that I can learn what the IG/influencer stuff is without participating in it?  I figure if there are apparently a gazilion

That’s too much man!

But, no, I’m saying that IS a bad hook - it is also the hook I saw in the ads for Tuca and Bertie.  I’m saying they pitched it as a fanciful world like Bojack’s, but without the darkness.  And that is kinda lame unless the lead actress ends up ODing... spinoff?

I really liked this show but I bet I’m a reason it was canceled since I waited till the announcement to watch it.  For my money, it was a failure of promotion - the writeups were vague and confusing and I was left thinking “Bojack without the angst and darkness, more lead characters, and more whimsy?”  Which is fine,

As long as Sanders is in, I want Biden in.  I want them both out, but there’s no fucking way the party can go for the equally problematic jackass from Vermont.  He’s also old, also out of touch, also stepping on the feet of a far superior candidate (Warren, who has his platform but is actually smart and capable).  But

I dunno. Trump’s “Rosebud” is that his daddy didn’t love him (and neither did the media) enough. I think Don Jr. and Ivanka are stone cold nihilists who will go in on totalitarianism if they need to.

I also think that the GOP is right now in the world’s largest S&M experiment. Trump is what they want him to be without

This is amazing, but the article headline is misleading, right?  It’s Jong’s daughter who is beefing with OMW, not Erica herself...

I want MORE Joan Didion, not less, damnit!
