Shall we anticipate the FIFTH SEASON of the AMC series "Breaking Bad"? I think I may.

xp The problem is Jerry Lewis is totally unsympathetic

Maybe, but he would've turned the barrel-stealing scene into a slapstick tour-de-force.

just switch Scott & Dave and then omg

yeah Scott is great at asshole cop types

Paul Bellini as brock

good call, would definitely like to see Foley in a black comedy/drama - any of them really

you should watch this it's really funny http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120536/

"Skylar, these are great eggs."

"They're fresh from my body onto your plate!"

this thread has taken an amazing turn

and i agree Scott should play Hank.

I didn't even know The Wrong Guy existed until I read about it a few weeks back. It really is hilarious and great.

And Dave played a really good depressed version of himself on Maron recently. Dude has a (totally justified) air of melancholy that would translate really well to a darker dramatic role.

Who would play Tuco or Gus or Tortuga?

Joe Flaherty in Forster role

i think we're all forgetting that the very premise of Breaking Bad is implausible in Canada

"i need to cook meth so I can afford Montreal Canadien season tickets"

Canadian Walt would create a super-addictive, blue-tinted maple syrup.

xpost ha haa!

the Canadian BB would be based on the Rob Ford story; seriously would make an amazing movie or mini-series when all the facts come out. Could be very Wire-like with parallel stories intertwining with the dealers, city hall, cops and reporters.

In March 2013, former mayoralty candidate Sarah Thomson accused Ford of touching her inappropriately and making inappropriate comments while posing for a picture together at a political function.[130] Thomson, in a later interview on radio, suggested that Ford was on cocaine: “I thought he was, yes, but I don’t know,” she said. “I went back and looked up, you know, what are the signs of cocaine use. I looked it up and you know sweaty, talking quickly, out of it, arrogant — all these things were on there. What I read on Google, I would think he’s either on that or some other substance … he was definitely out of it.”[131]

OMG GOOGLE FOR COCAINE AND FIND ROB FORD

ha - actually that ass-pawing was actually before the crack tape, so I think she meant she googled "cocaine" and found "sweaty, arrogant"

still sticking with Scott for Walt and Dave for Hank.

Kevin can do nebbish Walt. Bruce can do speechifying Walt. Foley can do exasperated why aren't you applying yourself Jesse Walt.

so what you are saying is walter white could do a one man KitH show?

"I'm crrrushing your head I'm crrushing your head...with an ATM machine"

He's hip he's cool he's 52

forgot about the ATM machine. wow a lot of things happened in Breaking Bad

Lotta kids with dead parents.

lucky lucky orphans

well, that bomb-ass blue shit will help numb the pain. good thing there's still lots of that...

show should have ended with E.European meth heads buying yellow meth and yelling "What is this shit!?"

norm macdonald pushing the it was all walts fantasy angle on twitter right now https://twitter.com/normmacdonald

im not buying until someone gives it the multi blog post treatment but p interesting none the less

total moron ‏@hip_ennui 1m
@normmacdonald to everyone saying "ask Gilligan" - VG said the only hint he'd give was "woodworking," presented in the finale as a fantasy

the biggest problem with the walt's fantasy idea is that he had no way of knowing jesse's was todd's meth slave, also wtf purpose with flash-forwards of a fantasy serve

would flash-forwards serve, i mean

yeah uh, no

Norm Macdonald ‏@normmacdonald 2h

The Nazis that visited Skylarr was a flash forward of Walt's fever dream. Evidence: ridiculously masked and immune to guarded house.

naw he couldve easily deducted that jesse was their slave via the fact that they had him captive and he was a known snitch and the blue meth was back

a flaw imho is why would jesse revenge kill todd so hard in walts fantasy

haha totally

the best argument for it imho is that the woodworking scene was really weird and stood out

wtf has happened to Norm Macdonald

Norm Macdonald ‏@normmacdonald 2 Oct

You can't have a flawed misinterpretation. Check your OED the next time you're tempted to modify a noun.

yeah i mean there's definitely some ambiguity - that weird blankout before he finds the key - but walt's fantasy ties so directly to everyone we know (and walt didn't) to be "fact" that it feels real forced imo (srsly, opening a season with quiet flash-forwards of a character's dying fantasy...ok). Also, fantasy, p.u. why not just put them in a snow globe then.

all the stuff about Walt's plan being too successful, everything going too smoothly: this is a show where one man and a couple henchmen killed an entire cartel with some poison and handguns.

agree

lol wut

Norm Macdonald ‏@normmacdonald 2 Oct

No great stories leave ambiguity. Not one.

dude made a bargain with god to pull off one last gambit right before he zonked and then found the key. The humor of him getting his dying wish (for the little it was worth) seems a lot more twisted and cool than if he just had a really long and elaborate dream.

my god how could you want a show to end with a dream

i do think walts fantasy would be more excusable than a snow globe because so much of the show is about his fantastical solipsism already

I think this sums up what we're dealing with here:

Norm Macdonald ‏@normmacdonald 1 Oct

As for breaking Bad,I was expecting an unambiguous ending,not one I have to fill in. Am I expected to believe the police kill an unarmed man

hes just working through it man give him a break

is he yanking people's chains? norm likes to fuck with people

that would be pretty awesome

or maybe norm's just dreaming his tweets?
