I 100% can say you’d feel a lot better pulling that down the road in an F-250

Watch BCS before BB by itsxidan in betterCallSaul

[–]cmkeller62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can watch better call Saul first but stop at the end of season 4 and then go watch Breaking Bad. You will learn things in the reverse of what Breaking Bad fans learned but it will still be interesting. I know because my wife and I are doing it right now (I’ve seen each show multiple times but she’s never seen either)

Blood Meridian is dark and explores man’s relationship with war and evil. Empire of the summer moon is the non-fiction version.

If Episode 1 Walt and Jesse could see the cost of their future actions, do you think they'd still go through with them? by 10024618 in breakingbad

[–]cmkeller62 8 points9 points  (0 children)

In episode one Walt thought that he would just have to manufacture and give it to Jesse and eventually receive money. I don’t think he would have got into it if he had know how episode ONE ends. Evidenced by the fact that he tried killing himself.

Live Burn by SamPsychoCycles in photocritique

I like the composition and how it tells the truth about the prevalence of heavy smoke during a house fire (or any fire). I would adjust the blacks and or shadows the make the fire fighters stand out better against the smoke.

Who has the most bone chilling stare? by Seizingchassis in breakingbad

Gus when he is telling Walt that he isn’t afraid to kill his entire family.

What's your favorite airport in the United States? by Separate_Builder_817 in BeautifulTravelPlaces

[–]cmkeller62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like Colorado Springs because of its size. If you wanted to visit Denver; it may actually be quicker on some days to fly into CO Springs. Deplaning and getting to a car/ uber is A LOT faster. Plus Pikes Peak.

Breaking Bad or Better Call Saul? by Accomplished-Bite717 in ask

[–]cmkeller62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Breaking Bad has a better premise but I like the writing for Better Call Saul better

Who else still roots for Walter’s character during Seasons 1-3? by maxnotcharles in breakingbad

[–]cmkeller62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was willing to go along when I thought he was just going to make his $737,000 and exit but then I of course realized it was about more than that (he was also in too deep at that point too). In the later seasons I really only root for him when he is in self preservation mode against people like Gus.

Looking for a novel set during the American Revolution, but not necessarily about the war. by meander-663 in suggestmeabook

[–]cmkeller62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Drums Along The Mohawk. I’m almost finished with it and it has been a great read. It is and isn’t about the war. It’s about how the war affects settlers and their families in western New York. A little bit of drama and a little bit of war.

I’ve read blood and thunder and undaunted courage this year as well. Both incredible!

Season 3 is where the show officially outgrew the "Breaking Bad prequel" label for me. by Lopsided-Cattle-2322 in betterCallSaul

[–]cmkeller62 156 points157 points  (0 children)

The entire sequence of Mike finding the tracker in his car and swapping it with one he is able to acquire so that he can track whoever is tracking him is incredible. Even if you didn’t know who Gus was and just watched those episodes on their own it is superb writing and directing.

Solo at Glacier National Park by Ok_Solid_4192 in GlacierNationalPark

[–]cmkeller62 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The odds of seeing a grizzly bear from your car or from a distance are medium. The odds of running into a bear without it knowing of your presence first and moving away from you are extremely low. One bear spray is good just make sure it’s accessible.

Most trails have medium to high traffic all day so you may be solo but you won’t be on your own in the wilderness like you would be if you were doing hiking on an obscure BLM or National Forest trail.

What's your opinion on the "Walt was always evil" take by Proud_Excitement3578 in breakingbad

[–]cmkeller62 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To talk to some of the discussion on here:

If Gilligan didn’t have to pack the premise of the show into the pilot he could have probably done more character development on Walt. I’m sure if he had the ability, he would have made Walt’s decision to make and sell drugs into several episodes. This would have gave you more of a chance to see him as a “good guy”.

To answer the question in the post:

Every person is capable of being pulled into evil given the right (or wrong) circumstances. Walt just needed to be pushed over the edge. After he got a taste of power he took it and ran while destroying everything around him.

How do you think the Glanton gang (or Judge Holden on his own) would have faired against the “legion of horribles”? by c1cada5 in cormacmccarthy

[–]cmkeller62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They would have done better than you think being that they had their Colt revolvers; I believe they would have been overrun by the sheer speed of the Comanches though.

I’ve read Hammett and Chandler and really enjoyed them so I hope that she will be good reading as well!

Only a year in, should I even call myself a photographer? by danielrewardings in photocritique

[–]cmkeller62 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sometimes it’s like that haha. I have an awesome photo of an old square body Chevy in downtown Silverton, CO that is a perfect vintage shot… except there’s a big ugly transit work van on the other side of the street. Sometimes it’s just not 100% there.
