Downton Abbey - Finished the 2 seasons. Mad Men is showing the america of the 60s and this is the England of the 10s - 1910s actually. This Mi Lady / My Lord is very contagious :lol: Maggie Smith (Lady Violet) is the Roger Sterling of this series. Hilarious one-liners. And Lady Sybil whattabeety. Unlike Mad Men where everyone is 'grey' this one has most in black and white.
One of the best TV series ever :clap:
kid-glove
3rd July 2012, 09:22 PM
Black and white?
Except the Arsenal fan (the heir, Matthew), and Manchester united fan (the cripple butler), every one else follow their self-interests. My Lord is very righteous, but you could see his chips falling down slowly. M'lady Junior II (Is she Sybil, I forgot the name) and Cataract Chef cook aside, the women ain't no different.
What I love here, is the lack of cynicism that you'd find in MM. But that's to do with the setting I suppose. This ain't 60's America.

Aunt Isobel (Heir's mother), Ana (Cripple's wifey), the now dead William, his one-night wife, Ms. Swire even Lady Mary - rombO nallavinga
Carlisle, Thomas, Mrs. Bryan (though there is shift towards the end), Ethel's FIL, Cripple's now dead (ex)wifey - rombO kettavinga.
Except very few like the lord, lord's wifey, Edith, etc., nothing much to write about *characters* per se. Not that Black/White is bad but they cease to interest me beyond a point.
Cynicism has been handled by Cousin Cora singlehandedly :lol:
kid-glove
3rd July 2012, 10:45 PM
Cousin Cora is cynical, but not a cynic, like entire cast of MM.
Like I said, following self-interests among all makes them interesting. Miss. Swire has her hand in Scandal to save her Father, I'd have thought they could have left some ambiguity there than to kill her. Did they do that because they didn't see good potential in the actress? Teleplay writers take such decisions as they go along. They do make up a lot as they go along in Downton in more ways than one. Lady Mary bedded someone in lust, and brings up on a bad name to the Lord. Ana wants to be with cripple man before he's properly divorced. William granted, but the one night wife isn't that *white*, she does follow Thomas and Miss Bryan for a while. Isobel annoyingly follows her own interests. Be as it may be noble. At times, it does seem she wants to annoy Cora more than she'd want to do Good.

Teleplay writers take such decisions as they go along.
This perhaps is the most difficult thing for a teleplay writer. You never know if there would be a next season. So, it is extremely hard really to build up or carefully contstruct characters. So they tend to make radical decisions sometimes. These kind of odd eccentricities make them interesting.

In deed. Speaking of British connection to Mad Men, does anyone appear in Downton? Not the regular guys. I remember seeing a 'Downton' Face as a cameo, I'd bet on it in fact. The man (lawnmower spray paints his leg all over the room) from 3rd season, maybe.

'The Wire' in on other end of 'Breaking Bad', but just as essential. Both a must-watch IMO.
Arrested Development, I watched on TV when it was telecast. It was 'deep' in an anti-sitcom way. But most people ask for plain gags and laughter track.
Dexter 1st and 4th season, 1st for quality, 4th for the face-off. Otherwise, rumbam.
Mad Men, if you want to see a wish-fulfilling work atmosphere of 60's with large dose of general cynicism and mild dose of manufacturing of the 'self' (Adam Curtis breakdown of MM is a must read btw), and if you are the type to watch TV shows with food and drinks. You could eat with the characters, and quench appetite.

Breaking Bad" kicks off its final season this Sunday (July 15, 10 p.m. ET on AMC), and creator Vince Gilligan and stars Bryan Cranston, Aaron Paul, Dean Norris, Anna Gunn and RJ Mitte were on hand at Comic-Con to tease the show's big ending.
But first, there were costumes -- it is Comic-Con, after all! Cranston and Paul came out in hazmat suits, holding a fake baby, while Norris had on a long wig and a cape, bearing his midriff. There were standing ovations all around.
Check out this pictures for proof:
Gilligan was very honest about what goes into making "Breaking Bad " so great: "It's a lot blood, sweat and tears. And six great writers."
But have we seen Walt (Cranston) at his worst? "He may get worse, yet," Gilligan said, later adding that this season is all about winning and what it means to stay on top. "Walter has found a new power, and it’s his ego," Cranston said.
That doesn't bode well for his relationships, something Gunn echoed when talking about Skyler (Anna Gunn). "She wants to protect her family, and if that's at the cost of her relationship with Walt, then that's what she's going to do."
"This entire season is just creepy. Unsettling," Paul said.
Part of the unsettling factor? Delving into the aftermath of Gus Fring being gone and the German company that bankrolled him. Madrigal, Gus' bankroll, will be playing a big part this season of "Breaking Bad," and there will be a lot of German subtitles according to Gilligan. Lydia (Laura Fraser), a former associate of Gus, will also play a role this season.
Another new face? Jesse Plemons' new character, Todd, is "incredibly important," according to Gilligan.
"The most revealing teaser 'Breaking Bad' has ever shown," Cranston said, via Hitfix . Gilligan added that there's a shout-out to the pilot in the opening scene that contextualizes things.
What could it be? Here's a hint:
"A certain household product that also appears in the very first episode will be a huge player in the new season. #SDCC #BreakingBad "
As for the increasingly awful Walt, Gilligan says "Breaking Bad" Season 5 is the point of no return. :smokesmirk: :put some badass music here:
So expect even more tension:
Paul previously told GQ that there are even more deaths in "Breaking Bad" Season 5. But could one of those deaths be the main character? Cranston made this comment at Comic-Con:. Woohooo apidi podu aruvalai :clap:
Tune in to see how it all goes down when "Breaking Bad" returns with the first part of its fifth and final season on Sunday, July 15 at 10 p.m. ET on AMC.

Contrast that to Skyler's closing line (to neutralized BF, who says he's got family) with tinge of Macbeth tone or the aforementioned monstrously nuanced 'I forgive you'. Gilligan plays the magic cards with contrasting moods and dramatic tension.

24th July 2012, 02:22 PM
I did, Feddy.
Like I had predicted in my post after Season 4 finale, the German conglomerate, Mike as middle man, and the whole network are now in to the fray.
We meet Herr Schuler, who is in a right 'Franch'. We've never been introduced to a character who doesn't have a part to play in BB, so expect major repurcussions in coming episodes.
We also meet Lydia, a fatalistic piece of work. Mike's equation with her is no longer linear. He should have closed the loop on this one, but he opens another one with a flower bracket.
We also know BB's elephant memory and its particular obsession over every detail, this would put Walter, Mike, Jesse into the right gravy. Hank is lurking close. When chief explains about Fring, Hank's reaction tells you that Walt will be in a ketchup soon.
Everyone who crosses Walt could do with that well hidden Riccin vial. That's why we love this show. We have to wait to see why he stacks up heavy artillery in a car trunk. For now, he could put his arm over Skyler, who seems to make sense of subjugation in this new world. Walt thrives in his line of command, in family and in providing for the family. She has to be in that chain, after majorly partaking in it. Ted is last thing on her mind now. Maybe she will channel that authority bestowed by being Walt's woman.
Visual consistency is astounding, despite the league of filmmakers that Vince Gilligan employs. Not that these filmmakers do not bring a different mood and tone, the overall palette and organized intensity seem wholly organic and central to unravelling of this Epic Crime drama/character study.
Chow, Mike and other man with blood thrown over the wall painting or the neatly stacked sauces on glass table in opening 'Meet Schurrle', absorbs you in to it like no other show does. In this regard, Mad Men could be slightly alienating. Not that it doesn't have its moments, but given the world of BB or MM, I know which one I would rather be immersed in.

Very good writeup man. :)
I must say that Mike was pretty riled up by Hank's Investigation. And he previously worked as a cop in City of Brotherly Love. A self interest to watch the show. Walt continues to hide his ass and reveal others almost inadvertently. Gosh the inventive ways of one can murder that BB shows is amazing. And who is this Lydia and her list :lol:. Ordering to Mike is what Charlie would say as "Bad Idea". Poor chow. I am curious as to how they will start cooking again and bigger question the distribution?.

kid-glove
24th July 2012, 09:50 PM
A badly written post, but the bolded parts, I will stand by till death..
Slight misunderstanding for I brought up Welles-Mankiewicz for Equa's statement on the need to dissect Sujatha's overbearing signature in Shankar's script (not just dialogues!) to keep check on over-crediting Sujatha in that particular collaboration. To a much larger degree, I find Citizen Kane to be more of Welles's signature. Now what's common about CitizenK, Trial and Touch of Evil, they are all cinematic. Work of a filmmaker who understands the language of cinema. Not "illustrated texts". Illustrated best in his adaptation of "heavy" literature (Kafka's Trial) - now normally I'm against it. For I think in great works of literature, the form it's given in writing couldn't be visually rendered in contracted duration and default structure of film. Mini-series best compares to works of literature. The expansiveness is important in case of, let's say, "Crime and punishment" (700 odd pages with thousands of words, each playing a function) that isn't feasible as a 3-hour film. In fact, the best works of literature had already found its best form. The "roundness"(that would be lost if it were adapted and constricted to 120 page script.) is vital and whole point of its existence. Raison d'etre. In that respect, film best compares to short fiction in narrative depth. Now take Kafka, Welles gives a whole different treatment to one of the shorter works (which was edited, compiled in different order and published by one of Kafka's friends after his death), "The Trial". It's largely unfilmable for its Kafkaesque maze-like narrative.
Like Camus's reading of Sisyphean struggle, Welles interpretation of K's new-found boldness, vanity at end of it(rather than crumbling down), is superbly spun 'absurd' ending, which originally is of K's solemn submission in the book. Deliberate rearrangement of chapters makes it a different animal altogether. Kafka's black comedy is elusive in words, while Welles is able to get that mood and feel easily, for films is easy to immerse and readily apparent. Acting is key to this. Welles also renders the epistemological drives & existential feel in tight-edged fashion, that's not easily reduced to binary terms, serious or farce. Many films would fall into this quirky little genre (A Serious Man, Barton Fink Synecdoche NY, for eg.) In The Trial, The sets range from Paris to Zagreb, but the overall middle-eastern Europe feel is key as I see it. Casting Perkins as "K" also brought out the Jewish anxiety (and obscure sexuality) of Kafka's novel. Of course, it's not a stretch to say that Kafka had anticipated the holocaust. It'd not be the first time he contemplates antisemitism. Welles picks on this subtext, and builds sets that evokes concentration camps. And not to mention the way his camera looks at the prisoners(?) waiting for their judgment in the alley. Yet, he carefully makes the "Totalitarian" world less specific. It could stand as a microcosmic model (labyrinth-like with the buildings, from flat to commercial spaces, secretive court, etc as one compact unit) of a failing system that seems perfect and works mechanically from outside.
Welles captures K's journey like a dream (ever wondered how we jump to many different places in our dream without fuss.) In all this, Welles never resorts to exposition. It plays on surreal dreamlike fabric, but never tries to work out the symbol-hunter's brain (as revealed by Welles in his book. He hates symbolism.). But it's still a visceral experience. We begin the film with K sleeping on his bed, and end with his death. Perhaps what we are seeing is "Cobb" (who would have woken up in another level of 'reality') whose inescapable anxiety and guilt is compounded by lack of real information about the 'crimes and misdemeanors'. But it's also abuse of power and control, authoritative plutocracy, and therefore a real perversion of "self" that it drives one to. The film works on multiple levels to me.
Normally I'd not liken his work in "The Trial" to CK or ToE (it'd be pompous to suggest that there are direct parallels), but I find many similarities in terms of high contrast, deep focus, and overall filming/editing style. I rate him only behind Griffith in terms of influence. A feeling that is shared by critics of Cahiers, from Bazin, to Godard and my personal fav. Rosenbaum. Bazin dissect's Welles directorial style of C.Kane in "What is cinema?", chapter "Evolution of the language of cinema". Bazin and Rosenbaum are of such influence that I'd end up paraphrasing both if we want to take this discussion further...

Nobody survives WALT. The end of WALT will be the end of the show, as we know IMO. There is no central driving force to BB other than WALT. MIKE vs Walt is unlikely as Walt never wants more bloodshed. In this context, he is the Turk (Sollozzo) of Godfather. Walt had to kill Fring because fring would eventually kill him. WALT is a pure businessman first and if only things get worse his alter-ego Heisenberg comes into play. With Mike under AQPD radar even he would want to be with WALT to subside the heat.

Jesse is a poor kid but a nice boy. He always lacked direction. But I am guessing Walt's end would come between either of Jesse/Hank. And yes Merkert's observation on double lives has indeed struck a chord with Hank, who IMO is the only good character in this series :). If I like anybody to win over Walt it would be Hank.

"As many of you know, I have a background as a chemistry teacher. I've come to realize that much of what I teach my students applies not only to what goes on in the classroom, but in life also. It's not as crazy as it sounds. You see, technically, chemistry is the study of matter, but I prefer to see it as the study of change: Electrons change their energy levels. Molecules change their bonds. Elements combine and change into compounds. But that's all of life, right? It's the constant, it's the cycle. It's solution, dissolution. Just over and over and over. It is growth, then decay, then transformation. It's fascinating really. It's a shame so many of us never take time to consider its implications."

I don't think the transformation has erased the previous self. That's why it's so pulpy with very many layers and WW overriding his inner mode, embracing that change, underlining and highlighting it. His love for chemistry, how things work, his love for his family, his various interest wouldn't just abandon him, that would be a weak arc. And I don't think Walt let himself be piloted even in last season, that's why you see him taking control. Never for a moment he'd be on autopilot. Not after him being on Fring's hit list. He hasn't turned back.

8th August 2012, 04:07 PM
No TV shows are planned to exist beyond 1 season. So when they write, they head towards the finale of the season with some defining image and arc in their mind. During that season, they will have lot of creative decisions to do. Depending on cast availability as well. IF the actor is very good, they'd retain him/her (Jesse Pinkman). The reverse effect of having to kill a character if the actor's no good or they can't get the actor on the payroll/dates.
So they do make up stuff as they go along, however it's all self-contained on a season by season basis. The key is that the finale of the current season could either be a satisfactory conclusion AS WELL AS precursor to the next season.
I don't know about Indian Television. But I do know it's highly unprofessional mess that they just give away time slots to production houses like Radaan, Ekta Kafoor, etc..
And they don't have creative writing crew like the American/European/British/Japanese shows I've watched.

Weekly once show, Sunday night.
Season 1, Writers guild strike man. So they couldn't shoot more.
Landlord girl (on drug remission) is Jesse's ticket to escape from Walt, subconsciously though Walt is always wanting Jesse to stick around, and to be in business. Walt could have saved her from OD, but he lets her die. That's the most pivotal part of the show. Walt's continual manipulation and prophesying of Jesse's life hinges on events like this. The effect of this having to create the Flight crash, like a ripple effect (Adhukkunu chaos theory'lam thevaiyE illaiyE). We see the culmination in the entire organization, disorganization of lives, between Walt, Jesse, and people around him.
Whether they planned for bottle episode like The Fly when they wrote season 2/3, is entirely incorrect and untrue, but we could see Vince Gilligan bring up all this in to alignment, enriching the character and theme of the show.
Walt (The Fly) The universe is random. It's not inevitable. It's simple chaos. It's subatomic particles in endless, aimless collision. That's what science teaches us, but what is this saying? What is it telling us, when on the very night that this man's daughter dies, it's me who's having a drink with him? How can that be random?

11th August 2012, 12:20 AM
Nerd,
It begins with cleaning the remains, with a trip down to the anecdote of the young healthy version of him, mulling over elements of human body, how it doesn't all add up. The high school chemistry teacher, a quote-unquote moral person, Sloppy Mr.Chips himself, is on one level worthy of serious drama, but despite all that, with Cranston's casting (post-'Malcolm in the Middle' signature) is also very evidently a farce, from neuroticism of the performance, to formal-narrative choices. Seated on the toilet, doing pros and cons of the criminal act. The list :lol: On adjacent plane, It's a psychological drama. Here the magnitude is huge, the reasonably old Mr.Chips (made to grapple with the ever-shrinking finitude of life and insecurity of having to orphan a family, here again, it's important to note WW jr isn't treated a 'special' problem, monetarily or otherwise, important distinction I'd think) to have to engage in a serious crime, not minor felony. Spare me the luxury of having to identify with WW than DD, a life/war AwoL assumed identity to engage in infidelity despite having a sex-doll for a wife, like Marylin/Jackie/Barbie/Hepburn rolled into one. A prize trophy. Again here, there's nothing of a evolutionary arc, the next husband takes over the mantle, to take care of Barbie! You'll gather soon Peggy's empowering act is also compromised.
This part farce (again not to be assumed as limited slapstick), part serious interplay of tones and mood, IS worthy of consideration, sir. Someone who "gets" Coens, is expected to get past the dark-grey humour I say. :twisted:
And unlike you, I found it superior drama to have a one-room one-act suspense episode. The Fatality of the cold-blooded murderer. Making the pieces, upstairs-downstairs, to get back to do it, the utter necessity. I found this all supremely crafted. Not to forget, the spoiler: Krazy-8 is a undercover for DEA. End.
Hank reveals the realities of date-rape, Marijuana, single-mom skank (who reappears in following seasons). Here the boy is assuming the audience. The parallel to Walt's 'corruption' in the very episode, is the 'reality exposure' of worldly 'corruption' from Hank to Ww Jr. Yet, like the audience, this entire ordeal is 'cool' to Jr. But this isn't all the function of the scene, we see Hank isn't quite cut out to be a father, nor is Marie (who we later know to be nuts). This is of course the 'functioning' marriage in the film. Yet, on the outset, not quite a 'family'. We later see Hank-Marie to have a dynamic that's not quite on the outset. :clap:
Walt dissolves the bones. The chemistry class have 'Carbon' for the day. Then Gomez-Hank turn to Organic compound in white sachet. But, Of what compound is the soul? The anecdote closes in with young Walt conceding the mystery. But years have left over the wrinkles of doubts, but now, Walt will have to 'look past it'. Even if he had known the human being, to take that life away, despite 'getting to know', is what he will have to do. The time frame of one's morality a variable, but when it gets threatening to be a near-constant, it's not just a desperation. Maybe this taking of experience of living of another man, leads to the heart of darkness, that even the densest of literature hadn't mapped fully, but they 'try' to. BB, to my mind, compares with best of fiction. The length matters here. Absolutely matters to have episodic breakdown/metamorphosis. Like every page of a Russian literature, every minute matters here. Short fiction/Feature films OTOH, ungala partha paavama irukku :lol2:
BB doesn't do cloaked malarkey, eternally thankful I really Am(!). The past is a cipher, we start with the ordinary (not an exception, now that would be easy to throw parlor pscyhology like MM, controlled by the Patriarch), then go event by event, it doesn't only deal with PoV's, but also how the PoV's smudged and tampered.
Vittrunga sir please. :notworthy:
On Mad Men..
What you've managed to avoid in the post, is why I find it to be of lesser rewards than BB. The presupposed 'Study of characters' is more of a 'refraction', save for Don Drapper, who himself is fraught with patriarchal predications & man-handling of all the subjugated female characters (Who are again, filtered through desires and limitations of the male centre, again) from start to end. In a sense, this is the 'ideal' and wish-fulfilling alpha male, for hosts to follow the show. One is pithily made to 'crave' for the ideal, and not merely observe this man. If it weren't for the objectification of the female, I'd even give the infidelity some consideration of the kind that this is a 'flawed' portrayal. But how flawed could it be, if it's visually and stylistically endorsed? The only real thing going against him is the absent physical bravura. And yet you know more about the up-class uptight ideology presented by the near-absence, there's actually a sly, nasty connotation in Pryce vs Pete (a spoiler I wish to avoid), Draper vs Donald (Which you'll get to), it turns out to be a problematic look-down.
More glamour than authenticity is my 'dig' at the 'digs' the show uniformly stacks together. And in fact, I like it for the documentary aspects of it. One of my favourites, Adam Curtis, the maker of 'The Century of the self' (related to MM), breaks it down beautifully in the BBC article. I'd also argue this is a bit too on glamour endorsement, I'm getting to doubt if it's more hinged towards that. Now to turn a mirror on this, would be just fine, but something more of a filter, would enhance it. But when the filter is an endorsement, it turns into ideology. That aside, you are dealing with drama here. I'd been kind enough to say MM doesn't compare to BB, but if BB is 'watching paint dry', then MM is BB slowed 4 times over.

One thing leading on to another, that this play toy is floating in *his* pool, owned by 'his' victim. It's on Walt, the dark force for lending that hand to 'his' family, and yet being the singular source to have triggered both the destruction, matched together by the visual schema. Good one VR :clap:

Yes. Absolutely.
The symbolic representation of the toy's missing eye matches not only with Gus, but also with Gale. I find breaking bad close to American beauty, a relatively far more detailed canvas where one can keep spotting visceral observations like this and still dig for more. I am instantly reminded of Walt's brief injury in his right eye cavity courtesy Mike.

One of the most stunning images from bb is when the gasoline tank explodes in S3 E01. Cranston directed that episode and the explosion happens from within 60 feet and those guys didnt FLINCH. That take was an one time take, Hell hollywood beat that.

They're cropped, isn't BB more about (& VG in favour of) the wider aspect ratio..
Rian Johnson slow alienation of WW in the domestic sequences, up until the act. Post-Skyler's Pool act, they're never in harmony within the frame. Extreme close-up of the bareness and muted calmness of WW, the suggestion of violence, that 'thin red line'.
The episode book-ends this flagrant visual agitation with Skyler releasing the puff of smoke on to his half of the frame. And him alone in his room, the bomb is ticking..

I love KG2. KG1, most of what you posted did not make sense to me since I don't really care for BB. Its great, best ever, granted.
Reducing MM to just a character study wasn't what I was hinting at. 'Far Away Places' (remember the LSD/Road/Personal life trips of Roger/Don/Peggy?) for example is the kind of shite I am talking about. Everything was just unbelievably awesome in that episode. And you can't really box Mad Men into a certain 'style'. I mean I never expected they would do something like the Far Away Places ever. Just swept me off my feat.
