The Sixth Sence.

Five fingers! The reveal at the end was just brutal. Fishburne at hist best too

The Usual Suspects.

Midsommar (2019)

Birdy. Older Nic Cage / Matt Modine film. I’m assuming if you read the book it is based on, the ending wouldn’t be surprising, but it knocked me for a loop.

I wrote a blog post for every "Bad" episode on http://sobrietybytamingyourego.com. As another blogger also noted, "Breaking Bad" is a modern-day take on the ancient Greek tragedy. Walter White is wonderful tragic figure, someone who turns into a monster but his ego shields him from how far he's sunken. And while Jesse Pinkman is no angel, at least he had the capacity to feel like shit for all the misery that Walter White-Jesse Pinkman Meth Inc. caused. I have compiled all my "bad" posts into a manuscript, "The 'Bad' Cure for any Addiction", and have queried several publishers. I may end up self publishing but I want to at least test the waters in the publishing world to see if there's any interest. Digital Book Today reprinted one of my posts at http://digitalbooktoday.com/2013/11/08/learn-walter-white-breaking-bad/

Also, even though I bought into most of the wild, outlandish W.W. schemes like the thermite blowing the door off at the local warehouse and the battery-super magnet erasing the data Gus' hard drive, I thought the finale was implausible. There's no way the neo-Nazis are not going to search the trunk of W.W.'s car. Be that as it may, it's still one of the best series in the history of American TV.

L.A. - that magnet scene was hilarious, you must admit. Talk about far-fetched, but I agree with you, I went with it and thought it was one of the best series ever.

This is a shameless example of self-promotion but honestly, I think I have put aside my ego-generated pride enough to say this with a straight face: my book idea, "The 'Bad' Cure for Any Addiction", is so good that I'm posting a link here where people can vote "yes" for the book idea. If the book receives 1,000 votes, SOOP (Something Or Other Publishing) will publish the book and help promote it. Go to http://soopllc.com/blog/book-ideas/bad-cure-addiction-lee-eide/ to vote. I blogged about every "Bad" episode and how Walter White's actions reflect the inherent dangers of an egocentric mindset.

found this fun article (from a writer perspective) breaking bad vs sopranos: https://faceoffdb.com/battle-report/breaking-bad-vs-sopranos-the-ultimat...

The common downfall of screenplays that I've witnessed is one dimentional characters and over used stereotypical characters. Such as the doughnut eating cop. If characters are flat then so is the screenplay.

michael i see your point to a point, The actor needs to bring whatever is missing to the table, The director also will polish the penny, We as writers can do so much as putting the clay on the table buuuut the film-makers make the Sculpture.

michael i am finishing my script, need 3 weeks and i will send to you , it's all sterotypes. Believe me you will like it and laugh!!

I agree with Michael, I see that all the time. Writers don't want to put their characters through hell and things are too easy for them. As well as formatting is a huge issue.

Directing on page. Writers write, Directors direct and Actors act. Brevity to a reader is bliss
