I don’t care either way but why the #### would I keep a comment to myself because of you?!! :)
You lose your mind or something??
The only person who can tell me not to make a comment or to not make one AGAIN is Jim.
And you are no Jim, brother :)
That being said, enjoy your little movie when it comes out.
You are lucky. There’s NO ONE left from The Sopranos for another movie :)
fugedabotit bring Godfather IV
A million years ago they should have done it with Andy Garcia.
Maybe the son is so pissed about his sister’s death that he wants vengeance on any who took part in her death (there’s always some other villains to throw in as taking part in her tragedy).
Or show what happened in the years between The Godfather II Robert De niro part ending and the beginning of The Godfather I.
That’s gotta be a clump of 25 years easy.
it was to be garcia as the contenting contemporary Godfather from III and DiCaprio as the young Sonny in cutbacks.,
I’m struggling with this one. Haven’t watched yet, but as I see it, the guy (chemist) has cancer, says screw it, and starts making meth. Turns into a major operation where the hero, the main guy, makes meth and sells it, and other meth dealers take issue with it. Why make a hero out of a meth dealer? That stuff is bad. Help me out here.
So far these people have put out great product. And they are doing it on basic cable. Better Call Saul is just as great. I wonder if the Netflix movie goes beyond the basic cable rating. If anyone could do it right, they could.

WOW.
That would have been very good, I think.
I have enormous respect for Vince Gilligan and his visionary construction of the perfect moral tragedy in “Breaking Bad”. From episode one until Walter’s (apparent) demise among the ruins of his beloved mega-meth lab the series was pitch perfect in dissecting the human ego and its will to self destruction.
It is because of the respect and admiration that I have for the perfection of BB that I am saddened that they felt the need to gild the lily with an epilogue. I just can’t imagine anything about Jesse’s trajectory that could add to the emotional flow of the series. I was elated that Walter was able to effect his escape in the last episode which was consistent with his long love/hate buddy movie loyalty to Jesse through the entire series but I viewed that as his last grasp at some self respect after torching every other person that he loved or cared about in the world. I know it’s too late but I wish Vince had just let it stand on its own and not try to milk any more tragedy from his masterpiece.
Because Sonny had fought at least one war.
In the book, the Godfather had been shot before.
I forget, but I assume that Sonny must have been acting Don then too.
pressure to write, pressure to act. Hard to overcome. I’ll watch it regardless.
Best wishes. Winter is Still Coming
A very good series indeed. I think it ended too soon and quite possibly could go further with a movie to wrap some things up and reveal other things if they were creative.
watched the movie a dozen times, never read the book
You’ll just have to watch it..seriously..I’ve binged watched about a dozen times now...it’s addicting..
I didn’t like the book.
First of all, Andy Garcia pulled off a good job considering he was an aborted baby in the book.
Some other tidbits, when Johnny Fontaine says his voice is weak, it’s because there was a tumor or something along those lines causing the issues. It is rectified.
He’s married to a woman who cheats and when he catches her each time he beats her and she just asks no in the face.
Luca Brasi, it is told, forced a maid or nurse maid, I forget which, to throw his newborn part Irish child into a furnace because it wasn’t 100 percent Italian.
He also tied two guys up and while he proceeded to dismember one alive, the other got so terrified he choked to death on his gag.
"Breaking Bad" is a conservative series. Walter White starts out as a high school chemistry teacher who comes down with lung cancer. He teams up with a lowlife and flake to cook meth to make the money he needs to save his family after he's gone.
Decisions lead to other decisions, and Walter finds himself moving lower and lower. In a short while, he's become Heisenberg, the master criminal meth dealer of Albuquerque. He orders people killed. He poisons people. He kills people himself. He makes so much money that he can't launder it fast enough.
Each decision has consequences, and Walter reaps those consequences. But he's full of self-deception. It's not until the end that he realizes that he did these things because he found it fulfilling. By the end, he can only fix the problems he's caused by sacrificing his own life, which he does to save his former partner.
Every act of Walter's has consequences, and he reaps those consequences.
thanx
Who said that Walter White is a hero? He becomes a pretty bad guy and there's nothing glamorous about using crystal meth that's portrayed in the show.
