I wouldn't be surprised if Kim bites the dust. She isn't leaving Jimmy plus she is not in Breaking bad.

Hope not. I think she leaves Jimmy. Have also seen some things in the past that makes it look like Gilligan et al want a “Kim Wexler show.”

I hope you are correct on her outcome. I keep waiting for more updates on Jimmy's current status/outcome at the mall restaurant. Maybe a two hour movie similar to El Camino.

Didn't he F Kim out of that case? Otherwise he kind of represents all jimmy was excluded from and now Kim doesn't want anything to do with: establishment lawyer vs street/aid lawyers.
I don't think their disdain is warranted

It seems over the top given how often he’s tried to bury the hatchet
Bummer. I'm old. I was looking forward to this

Sam Neill: Moviegoers No Longer Accept Spielberg’s Slow-Burn ‘Jurassic Park’ Action Pacing
Steven Spielberg's slow-burn approach to action in the original "Jurassic Park" is its own dying species in Hollywood.

I don't think this is a good example for Neil's argument. The original had to world build, so that takes longer and calls for a slower burn. We're 6 movies in now, no reason not to start fast.
Also, I think slow burn movies can still succeed. But maybe that's just wishful thinking

Any Marvel nerds here? I read comics as a kid, so the movies will always be exciting for me, no matter how badly written they are. Just saw Dr. Strange 2 and it had a couple of nerd cheering moments.
I do wish, though, that Hollywood would develop other, original material though.

I'm going to piggyback on the jurassic park complaint here. I have gone to a see a bunch of these movies with my daughter. I love the story and buildup, the latest spiderman, dr. strangelove etc., but then get super bored when an hour long fight scene ensues. I just want to look at my phone. It's obviously me as the movies are killing it, but again, i get bored.
anyway, new stranger things on the 27th. prehistoric on apple tv tonight, and obi wan soon. Lots to watch with the kids.
Story and building = Under the Banner of Heaven...and it even stars a Spiderman!
I looked and read that. Loved it. I've read that, into the wild and into thin air.
Great generational story, with a lot of it underpinned by the effects of Japanese control over Korea & its people. Maybe the best show of the year so far imo. Depends how the rest of BCSaul goes…
He still hasn’t told us how many millions he won at the Derby betting on the eventual winner.
We’re kidnapping him and taking him to Vegas.
Loved the book, liked the miniseries. Learned a lot about Japanese/KoreAn relations.
ROFL I thought this was some sort of parody, but no, it's a real series coming in August!
(And no, I am not a comic book reader.)
I thought the voter suppression machines were just thrown in there by the liberal writers as a typical dig but I see how it could be taken by your explanation.
The Lincoln Lawyer started off pretty good but really tailed off the last two episodes. They rushed it.
Disappointing. It's like they had to edit and cut the last two episodes off by a couple of hours and oversimplify the storyline.
Watching the Midnight Diner -- very good and The Komisnky Method which is also very likeable -- funny, poignant and somewhat insightful.
I hope I will have such eventful/interesting lives as those two characters when I reach their age!!
Just finished Emma Stonex's debut, The Lamplighters. This is a really strong novel. Inspired by a real event, it starts with the mysterious disappearance of three lighthouse keepers just before one is set to be relieved. They appear to have disappeared without a trace, with the lighthouse locked from the inside, and various other details leading only to confusion.
The novel jumps back and forth between 1972, the year of the mysterious disappearance, and 1992, the year a novelist begins poking around the story, dredging up old memories among the survivors. Put together much like an epistolary novel, it combines newspaper clippings, letters, interviews, and inner thoughts presented as though they are journal entries, all interspersed with more traditional narrative sections that push the story forward.
Part ghost story, part mystery, part psychological thriller, it's at times hard to tell which parts are real and which parts are only happening in the characters' heads. As the 1972 timeline builds to its climax - revealing what really happened to the missing men - the 1992 timeline makes it clear the novel is really less about the mystery, and more about what the mystery left behind. About how the survivors and the community were affected by what happened. Even at the end, however, the mystery in some way remains a mystery. The reader learns what happened, but the survivors don't. The missing men come to their own finales in 1972, including some profound understandings of their own failings, but the women they left behind in 1992 can only be consoled by their own theories, unable to gain the knowledge lost on the lighthouse two decades prior.
This is the best debut novel I've read in quite some time. Definitely on the recommend list, and I'll very much be looking forward to what she puts out next.
Edit: After more reading, this isn't a true debut. Stonex has been published before under a pseudonym. This is her first novel under her real name.

Started watching Snowpiercer a few days ago.
I saw it on Netflix a few times, but always thought I won't like it.
But I've seen three episodes, and the series is so good.
The plot is very interesting, and I think I've never seen something similar

He was amazing in Goodfellas and Field of Dreams. RIP.
Finally got around to watching the mid season finale.
I'm with everyone. Didn't see that coming. Suicide? Maybe. Lalo...no.
I'm very intrigued how the last 7 episodes are going to play out.
What happens to Kim?
What happens to Lalo?
Neither are in Breaking Bad.
Do we overlap the Breaking Bad arc?
Also, I need an entire episode focused on what the hell happened to Saul/Jimmy/Witness A after the BB arc ends. Why Oklahoma? Why Cinnabon?
Yes it will overlap. The Breaking Bad guys are doing cameos
