    I am kinda surprised about coup being a word that baffles people. It's in the news on a regular basis, I'd have thought. Does US news say something else? Like 'government overthrow'?

    No, we use the word "coup" it's just that people are wholly disengaged from the news and generally terrible.

    I believe they call it the "nothing to do with us, we swear" section of the news.

    The entire movie was worth it just to get Joe Cornish's take on the theme tune.

    Heh.
    During filming in Montreal, two local punk rockers with Mohawk hairdos were hired as extras for a scene wherein they were to attempt mugging the newly awakened Kane (Van Peebles) in a dark alley. The two were paid a nominal fee, thanked for their services before shooting and the scene was dropped from the movie after they were seen taking drugs on the set and overheard plotting to kidnap Mario Van Peebles by driving away in the make-up RV with him in it.

    The best ones are always where the executive thought people were essentially too stupid to function. Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone becoming Sorcerer's Stone in the US, Or The Madness Of George III becoming The Madness Of King George because someone thought audiences would think it was a sequel. That last one may be a myth, but I like to think it's true.

    the reason Quantum of Solace doesn't make any sense as a title is that it's the title of an otherwise unrelated bond short story

    The biggest problem with self tying shoes is cost. Nobody wants to pay that much for shoes.

    Then science should make people that want to pay that much for shoes. Check mate, science.

    I am a sciencetician and I have invented a new breed of people who all have expensive tastes.



    Twist: They all buy gaudy shit that's classless and overexpensive.

    Breaking Bad was a fantastic show but I really doubt I will ever rewatch it

    I think a lot was tied up in wanting to see what happened next

    It's a super short story. Any synopsis that does it justice is going to be at least 10% of the complete text

    I have watched it 4 times. It holds up extremely well on repeat viewings. Ozymandias is probably the best hour of film I have ever seen in any medium. The phone call with Skyler at the end. My god.

    The camera work in that scene is as good as camera work gets.

    I liked Breaking Bad, mostly, but I got a strong sense that they were always making up each new plot turn by the seat of their pants. And I dislike it when shows give me that impression. It also wore me down that almost literally everyone in the show was a jerk.

    I loved Breaking Bad as well. But I agree that I doubt I'll watch it again unless for some reason my wife decides she wants to see it. But then again, there are only very few shows I've watched all the way through more than once. B5, TNG, Firefly.

    I rewatch shows all the time. I have watched the office, parks and rec, arrested development, Breaking Bad, Archer, Community, 24 (early seasons), the wire and saved by the bell all the way through multiple times.

    There's actually a ton of thought going into almost every aspect of Breaking Bad.

    That chemist guy, Gale Whatshisface that assists Walt? He likes to sing.

    He sings a song about a greedy bald cook.

    On the contrary, I appreciated how the character development changed my perception of the earlier seasons.
