Currently or recent..... T.V. Movie, $orn etc...
I'm on the third season of Son's of Anarchy. First two season were good, season 3 stretching the story lines a bit to much now. I guess that happens with a series. Reminds me of Prison Break on Fox last season was a flop....

Two words: Breaking Bad. 'Nuff said.
Though mind you, I was sorely tempted by the season one Blu-Ray that came out this week for Boardwalk Empire. Have you seen that yet?

Yes Boardwalk is awesome, Haven't got around watching the second season yet.
Very Nostalgic sense of a series...If that even makes sense. I read they killed off one of the main characters, not sure who it was didn't want to ruin it when I got around watching 2nd season.
Brother in law told me about breaking bad need to check that out next ...

Breaking Bad is a must. Boardwalk can be a bit slow at times, but it is very good and worth watching. Another HBO series worth checking out is Treme.

I am waiting for Game of Thrones. But I did pick up Boardwalk Empire today.

Let me know what you think. I suspect you will enjoy. The cast does a pretty outstanding job.

Re: Currently or recent..... T.V. Movie, $orn etc...
I watched the first episode this morning and it was very good. The Blus do have an interactive character map, which I suspect will be very useful if I do not watch all of the episodes back-to-back (and I do like trying to stretch out series like this a bit.) Interesting career arc for Stephen Graham -- he has gone from playing low-level gangsters in Guy Ritchie movies to playing the "big dogs" like Baby Face Nelson and Al Capone in American movies/series.
I also nabbed the Blu-Ray for the John Frankenheimer movie Grand Prix for $10 and it is an amazing looking catalogue title. It was originally released in Cinerama, though it was actually shot in 65mm (Ultra Panavision, I think.) Like 2001, the large format negative makes for an amazingly good-looking and detailed transfer.

Blur is about to be hooked by Bad!
Boardwalk's story arc isn't so complicated that you'll get lost, but it does get a little heavy at times. Nothing you won't be able to keep organized in your head though.

I was not thinking about the story as much as the characters, but I know what you mean.

In my opinion, it only gets better.

To be honest with you, I still have not picked up season three -- and as you know, season 2 ends with a bit of a bang. i have not had a chance to grab it yet.

Then I'll be sure that I don't discuss anything from Season 3 with you!

Please do not!
The problem is that the local Walmarts and Targets do not stock it on Blu anymore, and every time I go to Amazon I end up getting too many other things. I need to just go to a Best Buy and get er' done.

In my neck of the woods, Best Buy just had a sale on Season 3. It may still be on and it might be worth checking your local Best Buy.

Will do! In the meantime, I am going to hit episode 3 of Boardwalk tonight.

In case you're not aware, it's a typical HBO season, meaning there are only 12 episodes.

Re: Currently or recent..... T.V. Movie, $orn etc...
After the shock of there being only seven episodes to the first season of Breaking Bad, I always check before I watch. At least newer HBO Blu-Rays seem to be coming out at a more reasonable price point -- though True Blood never seems to get discounted, even the first season. Which reminds me -- I am sure that I asked, but what do you think of The Pacific? That is another series that I keep waiting for the magical "right price."

Re: Currently or recent..... T.V. Movie, $orn etc...
I saw a double-set of The Pacific and Band of Brothers, priced quite reasonably. It was the only time I had seen either discounted as well as they were in this double-set.
I do have The Pacific, but I haven't finished the series. First take is that it is quite good (very much a Spielberg-Hanks-influenced production), but not quite as tight as Band of Brothers.

Re: Currently or recent..... T.V. Movie, $orn etc...
The set of both is very reasonably priced, especially with the Christmas sales on it, but only if you do not already have Band of Brothers as I do. I keep waiting for a sale to get The Pacific under $40.

That won't happen anytime soon this side of the border, but you might have better luck where you live.

I think that it got down that cheap over Christmas but I missed out.
I had another one of those trips to Amazon -- I was looking up Breaking Bad but ended up ordering The Maltese Falcon, The Man Who Would Be King, The Conversation and Some Like it Hot. Better deals on those.

Re: Currently or recent..... T.V. Movie, $orn etc...
I have Netflix. I only use it for things that I do not want to own, and Breaking Bad is most definitely a keeper. Netflix is also more of a pain for series since you cannot just rent the whole series but have to add it to your queue one disc at a time. (And no, I do not do streaming. The whole point of having a Blu-Ray player and an HDTV is to be able to watch things at true HD resolutions, and highly compressed streaming does not qualify.)
