also, at the jesse-mike-walt pow-wow in the kitchen, walt said one of the things mike would be responsible for, if he joined up in their new operation would be "pre-cursors," which would mean necessary start-up supplies. stands up to reason that mike would've been responsible for gathering those materials in the past, and that he know, at this point in his meth-lab-enabler career, what's entailed in making meth (namely METHylamine) and that he would know, when the superlab went down - so did all that precious methylamine.
Breakfast Guy also doesn't give a shit about learning how to hold a spoon, apparently.
Look, maybe it's just because I'm the middle child in a trio of dysfunctional siblings - but I LOVED Darjeeling Limited. And I'll own up, I love the quirk, I love the pretty scenery - I'm pretty much ok with highly stylized directors just so long as I like the style. I have a pretty serious love affair with Wes Anderson movies - it's derived from basically inadvertently seeing Royal Tenenbaums as a nerdy high school senior, and feeling like, WHOA, this is really different and cool, and makes sense to me. And while I agree that it would be interesting to see Anderson try a different kind of story, I go to see his films specifically to enjoy the way he makes films, so I'm never disappointed by seeing a neat looking jaguar shark or a throwback luxury train. I can't rank Moonrise Kingdom yet, because I've only seen it once and very recently at that, so it hasn't passed the statute of limitations for Movie Ranking yet. So since everyone's DYING to know: 1. The Royal Tenenbaums 2. The Darjeeling Limited 3. Fantastic Mr. Fox 4. Rushmore 5. The Life Aquatic 6. Bottle Rocket
it was great to see drunk, kind of mean don again! the worse don's life choices become, the more i will enjoy this season.
Starbucks is not a responsible corporation! They're pretty bad! Maybe I'm a bit of a snob when it comes to this issue, definitely when it comes to coffee, but they purchase their beans, from farms that openly use exploitative labor practices, and they have refused to purchase milk without GMOs, AND...and I'm pro-labor, so this is a bit of sticking point for me: http://gothamist.com/2008/12/24/judge_finds_starbucks_guilty_of_uni.php

Guys am I the only one who's not convinced Ted is dead? In Saul's office, twice Saul was cut off before he could actually say what happened - first when he was talking to the two goons and then when Walt ran in. It seemed purposeful. They never actually made it clear that he died. Just sayin' - wouldn't it cause a world more of trouble if he were alive? Suddenly this already very complicated and tense plot line would be worse!

Can we talk about Crazy Stupid Love instead? I know it's kind of against the rules, but I saw yesterday and actually kind of pretty much liked it. It was definitely not perfect, but it was funny and cute and: [img]http://img52.imageshack.us/img52/1782/d29fd32a66542f3bc81e5sc.png[/image]
Slumdog Millionaire. I'm sorry but I really, really hate this movie. I tried re-watching it recently and I hate it just as much -- I swear to god the kid who plays the lead is related to Freddie Prinze, Jr. because their acting technique is the same -- gap-mouthed horror/surprise/concern.
I second Greenberg. I kept waiting for him to get likable........and he just never did. At all. Vicky Cristina Barcelona was great, though! Yes, Scarlett Johansson *tried* to ruin it, but Javier and Penelope totally rocked it.
I dunno, NBC's doing pretty good in my book. They still have the only 4 shows I never miss. What's even on the other networks -- Dancing with the American Idol Amazing Race Stars?
i'm also encouraged that all these moms seem to be realizing that Target doesn't really care about them.
yes this is totally normal! haven't you ever been to a target?! GEEZ MOM!
i think this might be one of those movies that makes for an adorable trailer and not much else. :(
"The way, way sexier Carrot Top makes all his calls using only 1-800-CALL-ATT."
Everytime I started to get frustrated that he wasn't really using those 'blades, BAM! SPIN!
I totally do not have obscene nerd fantasies involving Stephen Colbert. #NotIntendedToBeAFactualStatement
Can someone explain Gosling's accent in this one? I'm disturbed by it..
Also, I'm probably going out on a limb here but I like Fever Pitch. I think it's a good example of a well-executed romantic comedy. It's funny, has plenty of heart and the characters actually have a fair amount of depth. An effortlessly enjoyable 100 minutes.
Yes! Please! This is the movie creating the unbearable and now commonplace character known as "attractive quirky girl." BLECK BLECK BLECK
I officially nominate Donnie Darko because I have tried four (count 'em, 4!) times to make it through that thing and couldn't do it. I also nominate Slumdog Millionaire because that whole movie is one giant N O P E.
Boo! That movie's always makes me laugh, but maybe that's because I am blessed to have a family that always does engage in absurd arguing at holidays. "I'm giving thanks that we don't have to go through this for another year. Except we do, because those bastards went and put Christmas right in the middle, just to punish us."
I second Hollow Man but I respectfully disagree in regards to Val Kilmer's fucking harshness in the Saint. Because he and his dozens of ACCENTS AND DISGUISES are fucking harsh in that movie.
Wait, was that definitely her? I thought it was the Other Duff.
I totes agree. I don't know how they manage to keep him from becoming a one-trick pony, but they're doing it.
I like that Community just KEEPS GOING FOR IT. Ex. "Non-whites ruin everything." It's quickly climbing my personal chart for the title of "Best Sitcom Ever." Just sayin'.
Is there anyway I can give this A MILLION UPVOTES?
Cool. Maybe this means we can finally see Natalie Portman with a bad ass shaved head, simultaneously shitting her pants and kicking ass. That would be so cool to see. WAIT A MINUTE.
Has Donnie Darko been nominated? If not, I'm nominating it. And that could be a contender for the Worst Genre, as well: Movies Favored by Me When I Was 19. See: Garden State, The Matrix, and so on and so forth.
