Jason Robards as Ben Bradlee in "All the President's Men"
Ray Liotta as Ray Sinclair in "Something Wild"
Whose shark-like entrance announces the most awesome tone change in cinema history...
(wee bit hyperbolic.)
A dramatic shift in lighting signals the introduction of the antagonist and the film takes on a darker edge where Ray Liotta’s character dominates the narrative.
Richard Gere as LA's finest, Dennis Peck, in "Internal Affairs"
Jason Schwartzman as Max Fischer in "Rushmore"
Go get her, Ray!
Tombstone's another "badass moment" goldmine. One of my faves is Ken Russell slapping Billy Bob Thornton around. "Go on - skin that smokewagon and see what happens."
Otter: Ladies and gentlemen, I'll be brief. The issue here is not whether we broke a few rules, or took a few liberties with our female party guests - we did.

2003: The West Wing season 5, episode 8: "Shutdown"
A disastrous fiscal crisis looms when the federal government is shut down after the President engages in a war of wills between the powerful GOP House Speaker over an extra two percent in budget reductions that would trim many of Bartlet's key social programs.
If Sorkin or Wells had written an episode where the GOP House Speaker was powerless and "One faction of one party in one House of Congress in one branch of government (led by a freshman Republican senator from Texas, born in Canada!) shut down the entire government just to re-fight the results of an election," critics would have accused them of turning the political drama into fantasy/horror.
Jumping the shark springs to mind. 
Best episode since "Full Measure" imhoghohoho.
I actually jumped in my seat when Skyler walked in to check on Holly. I was genuinely surprised.
That was really well done, totally didn't see it coming.
Likewise...
Andrea getting whacked (even though I TOTALLY should've seen it coming). I might as well have been a girl in her jammies reacting to the Red Wedding. I actually had my hand on my forehead and needed to pause for a min to let it sink in. Aaron Paul, wow! I haven't seen emoting like that since...
I wish it was a 2-hr finale if only because I don't want there to be a single hour of this left.
If Gilly V manages to wrap this up in 53 minutes, in a way that feels right, he deserves a trinket or two.
Breaking Bad won 2 Emmys tonight. One for "Best Drama" and Anna Gunn won for "Best Supporting Actress in a Drama".
Breaking Bad winning for drama and Colbert (finally!!!!!) winning for comedy is disturbingly on the money for a Hollywood pageant. I'm happy Anna Gunn won, after all the shit she's been getting (until recently) from plebs on the internet.
Is there a some kind of checklist of loose ends the finale has to resolve? The ricin. What else?
Susan Sarandon as Annie Savoy in "Bull Durham"
Winona Ryder as Veronica Sawyer in "Heathers"
Two of the best written and fully realized female characters of the last 25 years.
"Bryan Cranston, as I see it, has portrayed these 5 distinct characters throughout the run of the series."
I like this, except I'd have titled the last one "I have no idea who the fuck I am anymore".
Walter White's new alias is "Lambert" (which is Skyler and Marie's maiden name).
I had to go back and rewatch the flash forward cold opening of episode 5.1.
The episode opens a year into the future in a Denny's restaurant, across the street from the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque. Walt, full head of hair, full beard, new glasses and no wedding ring, is sitting alone and is served his breakfast: bacon, eggs and hashbrowns. Walt breaks the pieces of bacon in half, then arranges the pieces into the number "52" (which recalls the pilot episode).
A waitress tries to make conversation with him, Walt gives her the aforementioned fake name by showing her his ID from New Hampshire. Walt goes to the bathroom, swaps an envelope of cash for a set of keys in the bathroom with Lawson, his previous gun dealer. Lawson asks Walt for his word that "it" won't be crossing the border. Walt assures him that "it" won't be leaving town. Before exiting the bathroom, Walt lets out a slight cough and pops a pill. He then leaves a $100 tip for the waitress, exits the diner and locates the car that the keys belong to. Opening the trunk, "it" is revealed to be an M60 machine gun with ammunition, which has to be to kill Jack and his crew (or the czechs).
Before Lawson left the bathroom, he wished Walt luck ("Well...good luck, I guess"), and as shown in the opening flash forward of episode 5.9, Walt then goes straight to the house to get the ricin.
Walt is coming back to protect Skyler and the kids, who he thought were safe following his pretend Heisenberg theatrics over the phone, from his past. Whether Jesse has anything to do with the White family being in danger, who knows? Lydia obviously knows about his family and his real identity, but for all we know her existence and Walt deciding that she lives gave her the motivation to act as a buffer between the czech end of things and Walt's life. And her coming to the carwash seemed out of pure desperation, like she needed him to know that regardless if he is 'out' or not, the fact that the purity has gone down could have serious consequences not just for her but for everybody else involved.
I think the phonecall to Skyler and the police was the end of Heisenberg. Heisenberg, who is Walt's super alter-ego, was in the empire business. Walt's now in the family protecting business, which of course means destroying any trace of his business empire (Blue Sky being back on the streets, his ex-partner, who is now making said blue meth for Todd and Lydia, and former associates) that will lead back to his family.
William Fichtner as Burke in "Go" (1999)
Now, where are we left? Oh, yeah: how the hell is Hank gonna survive this? Please tell me he will.
Is there any way in hell Hank and Gomez walk away from that showdown? They're literally out-gunned.
Not unless Walt Jr. aka Flynn appears out of nowhere and reveals his crotches were shotguns all along.
It was a bit of a contrivance, albeit a typically awesome Breaking Bad Universe contrivance, just for Hank and Gomie to make it to the end of this episode without either of them being lit up by the Aryan brothers, who suddenly developed the shooting prowess of a bunch of Stormtroopers.
Whatever happens to Hank from here on out, it's gonna send Marie off the deep end.
Just seeing Hank use the Hello Kitty phone made my night.
Actually, what really made my night was seeing Todd trying to put the moves on Lydia!
My vote goes to Meth Damon's ringtone!
Vince Gilligan, you #@$%&$&!
