budgetary constraints

interesting!

Yeah, that's pretty much the rationale behind every bottle episode ever. If the entire ep of a show takes place in a single location, chances are they're saving up cash for showier eps.

x-post - I didn't realize.

lol Bob Odenkirk kills me sometimes

Budgetary constraints are no excuse. That's when the writers need to turn up their game the most!

get me bloodied (Eric H.), Wednesday, 11 April 2012 02:47 (fourteen years ago)

self-referential bottle episode of Community was phenomenal for example

though i'm kind of in the middle on "Fly", not sure if the great last section makes up for having to get through the rest of it

Nhex, Wednesday, 11 April 2012 02:48 (fourteen years ago)

i thought fly was fantastic and plays to the shows strengths v well, especially its excellence in physical comedy

iirc i hated the fly episode until it was over and i could fully digest it

♆ (gr8080), Wednesday, 11 April 2012 02:57 (fourteen years ago)

haha i dont think i ever watched the whole thing

Lamp, Wednesday, 11 April 2012 02:59 (fourteen years ago)

It definitely got better as it went on. I can't stop watching this damn show.

wolf kabob (ENBB), Wednesday, 11 April 2012 03:00 (fourteen years ago)

agreed with canks; not sure how this DOESN'T play to show's strengths: tight scripting, virtuoso direction, one-on-one acting, slapstick, etc

boy, was that Dan Fielding hungry for some cake! (forksclovetofu), Wednesday, 11 April 2012 03:01 (fourteen years ago)

this show is mostly p bad at dialogue and restraint imo

Lamp, Wednesday, 11 April 2012 03:02 (fourteen years ago)

all that terrible breaking bad dialogue

diamanda ram dass (Edward III), Wednesday, 11 April 2012 03:16 (fourteen years ago)

yes

Lamp, Wednesday, 11 April 2012 03:19 (fourteen years ago)

Could take a page from the Revenge book on dialogue and restraint amirite

i sometimes wonder if the a/v club comments section realizes what a wayward star we have over here

Lamp, Wednesday, 11 April 2012 03:31 (fourteen years ago)

I sometimes wonder if you're a troll from a different universe

diamanda ram dass (Edward III), Wednesday, 11 April 2012 03:43 (fourteen years ago)

lol Bob Odenkirk kills me sometimes

He is so great.

if I ever get pulled over by the police it is going to take all I have to not start making "better call saul" jokes

mh, Wednesday, 11 April 2012 14:54 (fourteen years ago)

As bottle episodes go Fly is good, but Four Days Out from season two is better.

Ashes, Pits of Ashes (leavethecapital), Wednesday, 11 April 2012 23:51 (fourteen years ago)

Just finished season 4 last night. THE INTENSITY.

Walter H. White: And, and bring me, bring me brake pads. The front wheels should have discs. Take them off and bring them to me.
Jesse Pinkman: Alright, brake pads. Okay. What are we building?
Walter H. White: You said it yourself.
Jesse Pinkman: A robot?

kinder, Thursday, 12 April 2012 00:51 (fourteen years ago)

yeah four days out might be my single favorite ep, it's tough though. saul goodman's introductory episode is a pip too

really dislike the "so much wild stuff, really crazy" pitch

cosi fan whitford (underrated aerosmith bootlegs I have owned), Wednesday, 2 May 2012 23:36 (fourteen years ago)

that's just sort of how aaron paul is though, if his twitter acct is any indication.

Clay, Wednesday, 2 May 2012 23:39 (fourteen years ago)

True, Aero, but this show has a history of delivering just that.

I've got 5 eps left in S4. It's turning up the heat again.

With a very lengthy mid-season break as predicted, boo.

I wish to incorporate disco into my small business (chap), Tuesday, 22 May 2012 00:12 (fourteen years ago)

and by very lengthy you mean "about a year". was really hoping it'd be 8 this summer, 8 this winter.

Clay, Tuesday, 22 May 2012 00:32 (fourteen years ago)

so it really is two short seasons.

A Little Princess btw (s1ocki), Tuesday, 22 May 2012 00:33 (fourteen years ago)

yeah closer to the last sopranos season than anything.

Roundtable interview w/ Vince Gilligan, Matthew Weiner, David Milch

Trey Imaginary Songz (WmC), Friday, 25 May 2012 13:29 (fourteen years ago)

^ ridiculously enjoyable reading

TracerHandVEVO (Tracer Hand), Friday, 25 May 2012 19:05 (fourteen years ago)

I love how it's Weiner and Gilligan talking pretty straightforward, then Milch has to pipe in with:

David Milch: The symbol retains its hold long after the substance which the symbol is supposed to represent has lost its real basis. Look. [pulls a stack of scratch-off lottery tickets from his pocket] I just stopped and got gas, so, like an idiot, I bought a bunch of scratch-offs

Fas Ro Duh (Gukbe), Friday, 25 May 2012 20:08 (fourteen years ago)

what a goof
