My favorite movie and my favorite TV show -- together in one!

Though they're pretty different in many ways, my love for "Breaking Bad" is nearly as great as my love for "Brokeback Mountain." Now I know why!

After reading your posting above about Breaking Bad, I checked what was said about it on line. Everyone seems to agree with you that it is fantastic. So I took a chance and ordered the full set on DVDs. If you're wrong, serious crayons, I am sending them back to you personally LOL. Thanks for the suggestion. I would never have heard of Breaking Bad without it. Got any more?

We also have the first season of Breaking Bad on DVD, and you are one of the reasons for it. ;D
Haven't seen any of it yet, but I know the basic plot idea, so I think the fake trailer is great. :laugh:

Uh-oh, you guys! The pressure's on now. I love it, but I also know it's not everyone's cup of meth. It's dark humor combined with dark drama, kind of violent but not in a careless or gratuitous way. It gets darker as it goes along.
If you like the Coen Brothers, you'd probably like it. My one problem with the Coens is that their movies can feel sort of chilly and overly ironic, lacking in heart. "Breaking Bad" is like the Coens with heart -- beautifully filmed, wonderfully acted, original and constantly surprising.

My copy of Breaking Bad finally arrived today, and I have watched the first 3 episodes. I will not have to be sending them to you! It is fantastic! I was not prepared for the dark, actually macabre humour. Geez, I howled with laughter through the whole thing.
QAF will always be my favourite TV series, for obvious reasons, but Breaking Bad will run a close second. Thank you for recommending it.
