Better Call Saul

i am legit stoked for this tho tbh

it looks kinda boring tbh? also looks like it literally takes place in the John wick universe

i don't put much stock in trailers

I'm into Bob Odenkirk as John Wick and will watch the hell out of this

SAME

I have always loved Odenkirk for his barely concealed rage & there is nothing I want more than to see him finally just crack fuckin skulls BRING IT ON <3

It was so weird to Odenkirk as the gullible, softy chief in the first season of Fargo. Much more psyched for the John Wick version.

That looks killer

this is so bizarre but damnit I'm gonna watch it

GIVE ME THE GODDAMN KITTY CAT BRACELET is a very Mr Show moment

ohhh shit, take my money, no really, take some more of it

xpost otm

I saw the trailer less as John Wick and more as ... Falling Down or something like that.

first time I saw John Wick was on network TV

my brother asked me what I thought and I said "it was pretty entertaining but I couldn't really follow it, I think they cut out a lot of the plot" and he was like "no they didnt"

Better Dome Saul

Forgive the thread spam, but I wanted to note that this show's 2020 season is nominated in the 2020 ILX TV poll:

ILX's Best Television of 2020 Poll / VOTING AND CAMPAIGNING THREAD / Voting Ends After January 29, 2021

If you like this show and you'd like to see it have a good showing in the poll (running in February) all you need to do is submit a ballot including it and your other favorites (3 minimum, 25 maximum, ranked by your favorite to least favorite) to forksclovetofu at gmail. It'll take five minutes; get to it!

Long interview with Bob Odenkirk. Season 6 filming now...

So as expected, Nobody is a complete blast.

yeah it was fun and diverting enough.

So these guys vaguely threaten a girl on a bus and knock a book out of a guy's hand and Nobody puts them all in the ICU and proceeds to kill everyone in the local Russian mafia and burn their retirements because his son thought he was a wuss? Sure, I'm in.

First and foremost, this is not Jonathan Banks. But I saw this dude today, and ... damn.

Bob Odenkirk Hospitalized After Collapsing on Set of 'Better Call Saul' https://t.co/z6ppAasjS9

oh no

fuck noooo, come on man, be ok.

please be dehydration or something … please be ok

we love u Bob

The scariest thing about this is, whenever it exactly happened, it's the next day and the stories haven't been updated yet to say what happened or what his condition is. I really wish we get some good news soon.

From this Variety story:

“I was at the wonderful 87eleven gym, surrounded by the top stunt actors in the world training, including people like Keanu Reeves and Jason Statham and Halle Berry,” Odenkirk said. “I’m a comedy writer, who is gradually sufferingly making my way into this discipline. I was just feeling embarrassed at how bad I was when these pros are 25 feet away.”

That quote is old, though.

Related to his training for Nobody, potentially related as far as how far he has pushed his body in the past two years.

I was really hoping it'd be a case of dehydration or something from a long day of filming in the heat, but the lack of follow-up this morning has me concerned. I'm really pulling for him.

I will share what I know when I can but Bob is one of the strongest people I know both physically and spiritually. He WILL get through this.

Gotta be honest, seeing that this morning was not as reassuring as I'd hoped.

Agreed the wording feels like an implication of something more long term and/or that much more critical in the short term. Particularly disconcerting to put it that way when preceding the announcement of the cause vs. the other way around when it would normally be reassuring following it.

Honestly, could be lots of things, simple or not. Maybe when he fell (because of the heat, say) he hit his head on something. I really hope whatever it is can be taken care of quickly.

Of course, was just agreeing with jon regarding where David's tweet makes the mind go.

yea the lack of any update is pretty concerning right now

:( very worrying. if it was something innocuous there would be an update or he would be out by now surely.

It must be surreal to be a public person and need to immediately update the world on your health status

(I hope he's ok of course, I know we all love Bah Bodenkirk)

i imagine he’d be completely bemused /embarrassed / annoyed

DONT YOU PEOPLE HAVE LIVES?

hard to think of a hollywood star as universally beloved/talented

I mean, trying not to draw and conclusions and keeping him in my thoughts. I just remember seeing the news last night before I went to bed and thinking, "well, it'll be fine and I'll wake up to news about dehydration or heat exhaustion" or something.

TMZ sez he's awake and holding steady

He's going to be okay.

"heart related issue"

Or rather, "heart related incident"

OK, officially a heart attack.
