I love that there is apparently a stock camera angle for dialogue scenes where it's a 3/4 view. It looks like something out of a high school film project. You can see it when Walt is reacting to his diagnosis and again when he's talking to Jesse.

Would you believe this is actually much higher quality than the average latin soap opera? My most positive thought was something like "Oh, they at least managed to copy that camera angle from the original in a not very embarrasing way".

edit: Also, Walter "Gets twisted", he doesn't "Break Bad" according to Jose Rosas

Yes, of course I'll watch it

It's a miniseries. If it gets popular they're going to do the American Horror Story thing and have each season be a new, unconnected story.

I much prefer tv to films now anyways and the more talent that wants to do tv the better I think.

Rehashing an old movie that didn't really have any loose ends as a miniseries instead of coming up with something new and creative. They've had a few misses, but for the most part the Coen's past work has been fantastic. I just don't see a Fargo miniseries as anything but a lazy cash grab.

I'd be delighted to be proven wrong though.

Presumably.

But that doesn't make it feel any less like a cash grab spin-off. Again, it might be fantastic, but I don't have high hopes. It also means less time for them to come up with a decent new film.

I'm confused. Are you saying it's going to be poorly made and that's why it will be bad, or are you saying you have arbitrarily decided that because it shares a name and the same vibe with the film it is going to be bad?

If the Coens are actually attached to it in any meaningful way it will probably have decent production values. I'm just skeptical of the idea that Fargo can be the setting for a season's worth of interesting story without feeling like we're just loitering on the decaying set of a Coen brothers movie long past wrap. I'd be excited about a truly original work from the Coens, but spending a season in Fargo just sounds like they wanted to do a show and didn't have any better ideas. It's more than a "vibe." The other issue is that by sinking time and effort into this they have less to come up with another film.

But again that's just my gut reaction and I hope I'm wrong. I'll give the thing a chance if it happens.

Wire sucked, Breaking Bad #1. Also, Badger and Skinny Pete have it right, B5>DS9.

The only show that comes close to Breaking Bad is Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Totally different genre and totally different progression. But that is in keeping with the style. Breaking Bad started out amazing, yes. Rather than go into some pitch about the plot (which doesn't do BB justice) I just ask people for an hour of their time. Everyone knows that pilots are a show's weakest episode. I mean, unless a show survives too long and decides to suck or something like that. But in terms of cohesiveness and poo poo like that. I clarify that point because it is worth making explicit. Then I show them the pilot of Breaking Bad. Works every time. Boom.

So Breaking Bad started off good. But then it magically kept getting better. The way it played out, it almost doesn't even loving matter. Pick a random number on your calculator and hit "x^2" and pretty soon it maxes out. Doesn't matter if you start with 2 or 2 million. Breaking Bad happened to start out high but, drat, it got exponentially better. drat.

Always Sunny is a different beast. Breaking Bad is Honda -- Continual improvement! Always Sunny is the Iron Cross. They let everybody know precisely where they were from the get and then just held on. And held on. And held on. A different kind of impressive, but no less worthy.

Edit: As someone raised outside the Christian tradition, I seem to be missing something when it comes to Breaking Bad (?) People keep talking about how obvious it is that God and the Devil are characters and how everyone is a rotten sinner and such. I don't get it. Rather than present that as a given, could someone explain that one in more detail for me?

Vince Gilligan has stated that his beliefs about morality influence the show's arc (no poo poo!), and cites things like the plane crash as Hellfire raining down around Walt as punishment, etc. Though he probably doesn't mean this as literal in any way, since "is God real, is Satan real?" doesn't add anything to the apparent consequences of Walt's actions.

Other than small things like that, I don't see much of anyone saying that God/Satan are 'characters in the show'.

I'm re-watching the series and this friend asks me to see it with me because everyone on her facebook is in love with breaking bad and she doesn't use Netflix. She's bored out of her loving mind. She's using her cellphone while critical plot points are being explained (How they'll open the door to get methylamine in the first season for instance). She asks "What does this guy have again? Cancer? What kind of cancer?" when Walt starts coughing. She says it's dumb for Walt to be friends with Hank. She has no idea why they see each other so often, they don't seem to have much in common.

What I'm saying is, gently caress this lady

Basically, every mainstream piece of entertainment from the Smurfs to NYTimes Bestsellers, has to be compared to the Bible and talk about Jesus on the cross imagery and fights with the devil. This goes double if you are writing an article online. It's the most freshman in college poo poo ever, but I guess it always makes a mark.
