Sharknado 2, the best made-for-TV movie of the week

A program reminder

The sequel to "Sharknado" is just around the corner.

Draco Malfoy spotting

The little villain in the Harry Potter movies showed up last night on the new TV series "Murder In The First".

Has anyone else seen...

...Mob City?

Well, we're caught up with "Breaking Bad"

There's just a few more episodes to go, which I think start in July. 

I must say, I feel a little like the FBI agent in "The Sopranos" who finds himself rooting for Tony versus Frank Leotardo. 

Although I'm not sure who I should be rooting for. The last episode shown shows Walt's brother-in-law Hank sitting on a toilet at Walt's, and he's reading Walt Whitman's "Leaves Of Grass" and he sees an inscription for the book by "W.W." Now there was a W.W. who was involved with that meth cook who was shot dead awhile back. 

Hank gets this look on his face like he's finally putting everything together. 

So after the episode ended I had this very bad feeling in the pit of my stomach. I was worried for Walt. Of course, Walt has changed from a sniveling high school teacher in the first episode to a big drug dealer who is killing in bulk, and who's supplying most of the Southwest (and the Czech Republic) with a pretty horrific drug. 

I heard somewhere that this show concludes with a happy ending, but I can't figure out how it can end happily. He's dying of cancer, his wife hates and fears him, he's got tons of money but can't spend it, his brother-in-law, who works at the DEA, is on to him. Nobody trusts him, and really, why should they? He's become a monster, his ego is out of control, and he's destroying everyone around him. Considering that just a few years ago he was the goofy dad in "Malcolm In The Middle"...

James Gandolfini, RIP

It's a loss.

Sopranos sightings

I saw "Killing Them Softly" which had both Tony Soprano and Johnny Sack in it. 

Joan and I are now watching "Nurse Jackie" which stars Carmella, and it turns out she has been having an affair with the squirrelly priest who was on The Sopranos the first few seasons.

They all keep popping up. 

Soprano sighting

Johnny Sack (actor Vincent Turatola) turned up as a judge on "The Good Wife" tonight. If I recall, Uncle Junior has also been a judge on that show.
