TV and Movies

Has anybody watched?  It dropped at midnight last night on Netflix.  I watched and really enjoyed it.  I thought it was great and kind of a "gift" from Vince Gilligan.

We watched it yesterday. We thought it was just ok. I felt it was really kind-of an unnecessary movie. Nothing more was explained except what happened to Jessie after, and they could have done that with an extra five minutes to the BB series finale. I enjoyed seeing the actors, hearing the great music, loved the El Camino car (we're car people). I thought almost all of the actors looked years older which was weird because this was supposed to take place immediately following Jesse's escape. But I enjoyed it anyway.

Albuquerque was abuzz last night when the film premiered at the Kimo Theatre.

I'm planning to catch it on AMC.  When is that, anyway?

Did Walter White come back from the dead?  I'll watch it tonight.  I loved the series.

We watched last night.  It was so-so. 

How Jesse ended up was no surprise; most of us guessed the same thing when BB ended.

Some "dead" people from BB are in the movie in  flashbacks; it was nice to see Jesse again but it's not something we would watch twice.

Just some sad backstory from TMZ today.....

Robert Forster, an Oscar nominee for his starring role in "Jackie Brown," has died after battling brain cancer.

Robert died Friday at his home in Los Angeles, according to his publicist. Sadly, his passing comes on the same day his final film, "El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie" is released on Netflix.

Forster's been a fixture in Hollywood with several iconic roles since the late 1960s. He earned an Oscar nom for his role, opposite Pam Grier, as Max Cherry in Quentin Tarantino's 1997 movie, "Jackie Brown."

Most recently he's starred in "The Descendents," "Mullholland Drive" as well as "Olympus Has Fallen" and its sequel, "London Has Fallen" ... in which he played General Clegg.

Robert also had starring and guest roles on TV shows like the "Twin Peaks" reboot, "Alcatraz" and, of course, "Breaking Bad." He played Ed, the guy who hooked up Walter White a new identity.

Forster was 78. RIP

Sad news.  Always liked him and thought he was fabulous in the series.

Godspeed.

I was underwhelmed.  It was so so.  Did enjoy the music though. 

Didnt understand the purpose of some of the flashbacks.

I wasn't supporting the film because I think it's time to let the series go.  The problem with Better Call Saul is that it's a prequel.  The series is moving at a snail's pace and the new season has been delayed.

Saul Goodman will be making his way around Albuquerque in a walker if things don't speed up soon.
