Breaking Bad Full Title Screen

Posted in Television, tagged , , , , , , on September 27, 2012| Leave a Comment »

This is a really cool intro to Breaking Bad.  It includes a lot of the main players in a sweet montage with an extended track version of the song.  It totally encompasses the journey of each character in the collage of key scenes, both loved and hated [looking at your Marie].  Although I would’ve liked credits to Giancarlo Esposito and Jonathan Banks, this will certainly do.  The short version isn’t an all great opening, but this prolonged version definitely gives off a creepiness vibe.  And as a chemical engineer at my college, the whole periodic table thing has got me even giddier.  Slightly less than a year until the season finale.

Gliding Over All: Breaking Bad Review

Posted in Reviews, Television, tagged , , , , , , , , , , on September 3, 2012| Leave a Comment »

Sorry for the late review, but Labor Day’s kept me pretty busy this time around.

I’ve overall felt that I’ve done a pretty bad job at reviewing Breaking Bad.  As I finished the episode and sat down and wrote my article, I went to some of my favorite other pop culture websites to see what they had to say.  To be quite frank: they’re better than me at this.  They’ve pointed out a numerous amount of things that simply went over my head and that I never would’ve came to conclusion to.  They theorize some of the most absurd but sensical things [oxymoron] and are all around better at discussing Breaking Bad than me.  So instead of riding on their coattails, and claiming their ideas be my own, I direct you to some of the most passionate Breaking Bad watchers out there.

I hope you enjoyed this season as much as I did.  It certainly will set up the season finale well and I can’t believe I have to wait 10 whole months for it to happen.

Say My Name: Breaking Bad Summary and Review

Posted in Reviews, Television, tagged , , , , , , , on August 27, 2012| Leave a Comment »

Breaking Bad aired last night and I’m reeling.  I admit I expected a lot of the events to happen, but the execution was exciting as always.  The soundtrack this year is absolutely astounding and fitting for so many occasions.  I even thought of Drive at a certain point.  Anywho, this episode, Say My Name, is the episode before the season finale.  As a whole after seeing this episode, I’m curious how it will all wrap up, considering that this episode didn’t really set up anything major to happen.  There was a lot of resolution in many places, and could honestly have been the season finale itself.  That means huge things will happen next episode and they’ll happen quickly.  Anywho, let’s summarize what happened last night below.  As always, major spoilers below!

Buyout: Breaking Bad Review

Posted in Reviews, Television, tagged , , , , , , , , , on August 20, 2012| Leave a Comment »

Two more episodes until the ‘season’ finale of Breaking Bad.  I’m assuming this most recent episode is the final set up before the explosive finale.  There are a lot of loose ends to knot up before we get there, and hopefully most of them are finished up before we have to wait an entire year before we see the resolution.  This episode is primarily a quick wrap up of what happened last as what most episodes are, but this we learn a couple of interesting new things that make us guess twice about end game each character is aiming at.  Enough vagueness, read below for the spoiler filled summary and review of the episode.

Fifty-One: Breaking Bad Review

Posted in Reviews, Television, tagged , , , , , , , , , on August 6, 2012| 1 Comment »

Not a lot of Meth related drama on this week’s episode of Breaking Bad.  Instead we focused a lot of the family drama between Walter and Skylar.  This show definitely has its bad ass moments and heart thrilling scenes, but the acting is top notch.  For this year’s Emmys, 4 cast members are nodded with a best actor nomination, and based on last night’s episode, they’re reeling up for another one.  Read on for this week’s episode of Fifty-One.  Major spoilers as always.

Hazard Pay: Breaking Bad Review

Posted in Reviews, Television, tagged , , , , , , , , on July 30, 2012| Leave a Comment »

Breaking Bad was on last night and it finally looks like we got to some cooking.  A relatively calm episode in terms of crime drama, but we do have some personal stories mixed in.  The calm before the storm I think.  A storm that will definitely be rocking me side to side.  So as of right now, I’m taking in all of this set up and awaiting the climax of the season which should hit us within the next two episodes.  Here’s my review of the episode below.  Be sure to be aware of spoilers!  Because they’re everywhere.

The Many Faces of Hector Salamanca

Posted in Television, tagged , , , , , , , on July 24, 2012| Leave a Comment »

Breaking Bad is in full force and that mean a bunch of pop culture quips are emerging.  Like this hilarious panorama of Hector Salamanca’s facial expressions.  The man has seen a lot of things as we’ve seen in the past season.  And he’s clearly been through a lot to make him that way.  What a way to go Hector, what a way to go.

Madrigal: Breaking Bad Review

Posted in Reviews, Television, tagged , , , , , , , , , on July 24, 2012| 1 Comment »

Things are moving quite along for Breaking Bad.  Last season, we were given a look at who Gustavo Fring was and his motivations for things.  This background look at a supporting character was spine tingling, haunting, and delicious.  It appears that torch has passed onto Mike Ehrmantraut.  I’d say about 75% [if not more] belonged to him and I have to admit I loved every minute.  In this episode, we get a glimpse at a little bit of Walt and Jessie as well as a very key scene with Hank realizing something important.  Discussion and spoilers below!

Lego Breaking Bad

Posted in Television, tagged , , , , on July 19, 2012| Leave a Comment »

Whilst surfing Warming Glow, they found this absurdly awesome collection of Breaking Bad rendered in Legos.  Seeing as I love both Breaking Bad and Legos, this was an absolute must for sharing.  And there is no better time than now when Breaking Bad has gloriously returned.  So check out the gallery of my favorites below, and be sure to check Warming Glow  for the full gallery.  My only issue with it is that Jessie kind of has a quizzical and worried look.  I wish there was a Lego head the looks like it would say, ‘YEAH B!TCH, MAGNETS!’

Breaking Bad returned last night in full force.  Following up immediately where season 4 left off, the episode spent a large amount of time feeling the ramifications of what happened throughout all the characters.  I’m not going into any spoilers until after the jump, so enough of this vague introduction.  Let’s get into the what happened!  Major spoilers below!!!!!!

Breaking Bad Recapped is Done Beautifully

Posted in Television, tagged , , , , , , , on July 10, 2012| Leave a Comment »

Breaking Bad is less than a week away.  I stand by saying that it’s the best television series on air.  The pretense is engulfing, the drama intense, and the characters extremely engrossing.  This video essentially sums up 4 amazing seasons and it’s easy to see Walter White’s dark descent into the criminal underworld.  Attached to the classically amazing Requiem for a Dream soundtrack, I dare this video to not send shivers up your spine.

Character Profile: Walter White

Posted in Character Profiles, Television, tagged , , , , , , on June 12, 2012| 2 Comments »

With Breaking Bad just around the corner, it’s more than ready to start getting ready for it.  I legitimately had to say last year’s season of Breaking Bad simply was the best show of the year, that saying even though I’m a hardcore Game of Thrones fan.  It’s gritty, exciting, violent, and so emotional, that no amount [well maybe some amount] of dragons could beat the legendary game of cat and mouse between Gus and Walter.  So in that honor, I’ve compiled a gallery of Deviant Art’s finest in honor of Walter White.  In all honesty, there is a lot of Jessie Pinkman, so it might as well be the combination of the two.  Breaking Bad’s final season part 1 begins July 15, 2012 on AMC.

What If Director Darren Aronofsky Used His Talents for Good? The Meth Project

Posted in Movies, Television, tagged , , , , , on January 17, 2012| Leave a Comment »

Darren Aronofsky, most known for things like Black Swan and Requiem for a Dream, is known for his trance inducing, colorful and visual filmography.  So if he makes projects as large as Requiem for a Dream to be that memorable, can you imagine if he made a real drug commercial?  Well he did just that.  I’ve compiled some of Aronofsky’s drug commercials that are about as scarring as that one Jennifer Connelly scene in Requiem for a Dream.  Be prepared if you view them below.
