Can't believe no one's talking about this.

3 seasons into "Breaking Bad". It's slow but fantastic. Extremely well written and there are some great characters.

Everyone talked about it like crazy when it was on air,... ten years ago.

Oddly just watched El Camino last night... good but not as good as I was expecting I guess.

I'm just messing around as we are rewatching it. It's my #1 all time.

I thought El Camino was good. It fels like 3 more episodes of BB, which I'd take all day. I didn't think they should make a movie because the show should be untouched, but I did like it. I didn't like how focused it was on Jesse's old GF, because she was just 1 season and I guess after watching El Camino, she was a bigger deal than I thought.

Which one is Breaking Bad? The Zombie soap opera or the Dungeons & Dragons knockoff?

You were thinking of True Detective when you wrote this right?

LOL, no, I love S1 of TD. The acting and chemistry was enough to overcome the existential Nietzsche stuff that went nowhere. Still one of of my favs of all time. Bring back MM and WH.

Longmire has turned out to be pretty good IMO. Things have picked up considerably. I'll be sticking with it.

Loved Longmire. Just simple good quality stuff. Nothing crazy. And I've always loved Sackhoff :). Surprised it got canceled so soon after shifting to NF.

So the wife is watching it with me last night, when she blurts out, "God, couldn't they find someone better looking than her?" lol

LOL... she's not a typical Barbie looking chick. I've liked her since the BSG days, and that cast had some lookers. A little "hip"-ier than I normally like, but she plays the bad girl tom boy really well. I haven't been a Barbie guy since HS (I dated 6 cheerleaders). I guess I had my fill.

Holy shit, The Irishman might be the greatest movie ever made.

Yep, loved BB but I love Better Call Saul more.
Cant wait for season 5.

Also cant wait for this Stephen King "The Outsiders". I am glad things are finally going well for Stephen King...

It wasn't bad, but too long. Goodfellows and Casino were better if you stay within that genre.

Off the top of my head, movies better than The Irishman
Saving Private Ryan
Shawshank Redemption
Maltese Falcon
Casablanca
Postman Always Rings Twice
The Departed
Chinatown
Unforgiven

If you're going to a list like that to find movies that are better, it sounds like the movie is pretty excellent.

I thought that list is giving it WAY too much credit. It was really good, I highly enjoyed it. It doesn't belong in the same breath as Goodfellas or Casino.

This... Didn't belong in the same breath as all the movies posted by Irish#1 either. It was a good quality movie, and I enjoyed it a bunch, but doesn't touch most top 100 lists.

In a few seconds I come up with a list that I think are better and that validates it as an excellent movie? I'm missing the logic.

Don't get me wrong. I enjoyed the movie and will watch it again sometime, but it isn't in the greatest of all time category IMO.

“The Outsiders” as in The Greasers and The Socials? We read that book then watched the movie like in 7th grade.

Saw Netflix has an Aaron Hernandez documentary coming out soon...I’ll probably have to check that one out.

My GF has been talking about this Don’t F with Cats. Says it’s supposed to be pretty funny. Any thoughts on this one?

The Outsider minus the S...

My wife was trying to get me to watch the preview of the cat doc. It never worked for her and she got so frustrated. I just sat there and giggled...

Thanks. I googled it and answered my own question. The trailer looked pretty good.

Lol. Damn technology can be frustrating at times. :)

Looks pretty solid.

Jason Bateman Is a great actor. I was curious why the 3rd season of Ozark was taking so long... This explains that

Mendelsohn IMO is the best actor in that cast hands down. His work on Bloodline, and Animal Kingdom (movie, not series) was pretty special. Bloodline is still my favorite Netflix series. S1 was about as good as it gets. I like Bateman too, but not near as much.

Yep, he was amazing in Bloodline. One of the best acting jobs I've seen in season 1.
