Fun fact: The writer/director of Looper directed episodes "Fly" and “Fifty-One”

[–]Vlayer[S] 73 points74 points ago

Another Fun Fact: He made an AMA on here 5 days ago and talked about Looper and even some Breaking Bad

[–]nourez 57 points58 points ago

But did he talk about Rampart?

[–]Tagard_McStoneW.W. 51 points52 points ago

Please let stay on topic...about Rampart

[–]random_story 19 points20 points ago

It still cracks me up how bad that AMA went. That must have been a serious wake-up call for Woody.

[–]bacon_pantsThe soul? There's nothing but chemistry here. 23 points24 points ago

It was pretty embarrassing how quickly "Woody had a one night stand" turned into "Woody is a rapist".

[–]iammolotovI have my profoundest realizations on the john 4 points5 points ago

I do wonder whether it was actually him at the helm, or some PR person for the movie who was simply supposed to say they were Woody and promote the movie, in a highly misguided "viral" marketing attempt.

[–]i_am_new_there 4 points5 points ago

A wake up call to what?

[–]random_story -4 points-3 points ago

That he's a tool..

[–]Epic_SpitfirePRIVATE DOMICILE BITCH -2 points-1 points ago

I watched Rampart a while back. It was pretty shit. Probably because I had just watched Layer Cake right before and I kept the stark contrast in my head the whole time.

[–]xenokilla -1 points0 points ago

no but he talked about Brick, which i just watched, which is an awesome movie. Also Rampart.

[–]DireBaboon 1 point2 points ago

Awesome, no idea how I missed this

[–][deleted] ago

[deleted]

[–]TSpange 8 points9 points ago

Incorrect. You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

[–]guerillatwang -3 points-2 points ago

You suck.

[–]CMelodyTrue Change 63 points64 points ago

I saw Looper last night, terrific movie! That is too funny about his tweet. Something tells me that theater is going to sell out of Looper tickets for the rest of the day.

[–]devinclark 68 points69 points ago

That sounds like so much fun... Show up and see Aaron Paul sitting a few rows behind you. Go up after the show and bear hug him. Convince him to take a picture with you. Steal his phone and text yourself with it. Have Aaron Paul's phone number. Text him late at night. He agrees to go to dinner. Casual conversation leads to sparked interest and suddenly you're at a sketchy motel....

[–]hipstersmakemelaugh 10 points11 points ago

I did that two weeks ago.

[–]-Peter 19 points20 points ago

You think Fly sucked. Your opinion doesn't fucking matter

[–]theflying6969Wotter Wight and Josh Pankman 1 point2 points ago

neither does yours.

[–]Mr_Hank_Scorpio 5 points6 points ago

/r/breakingbad where the comments make no sense and your opinion Doesn't matter.

Onto our first round... Things Aaron Paul might tweet. Bitch!

[–]kactus 1 point2 points ago

Fly was just alright. Not terrible, and not the best.

[–]MegaSting 11 points12 points ago

I agree, but as soon as Rian Johnsons did his AMA all of a sudden the Fly was everyone's favorite episode of all time. I mean really? Think about all the amazing episodes there are and honestly tell me that the Fly was your favorite/the best one.

[–]spazzvogel 5 points6 points ago

Fly was not my favorite, however I did love the way it showed Walter's slippery descent into madness.

[–]iammolotovI have my profoundest realizations on the john 1 point2 points ago

To be fair, I have seen at least a few people on here say Fly was one of their favorites well before the AMA. Not disagreeing that there was a sharp influx in the number of people saying that post-AMA, but there were a few OG's that had been loving on Fly since its air date.

[–]QuarryBrosen 0 points1 point ago

I wouldn't call it my favorite, but it definitely stuck out.

[–]REDDIT_JUDGE_REFEREEMIKE'S JUST NOT THAT INTO YOU. 1 point2 points ago

I'm doing it right now.

[–]Lilday 5 points6 points ago

Also watched Looper last night.

  1. Dark Knight Rises
  2. Looper
  3. Prometheus
  4. Lawless
  5. Killer Joe
  6. Spiderman
  7. Bourne Legacy

They're the 7 movies I've seen at the cinema this year (that I remember) in order of awesome.

[–]OddDude55Bromine Barium 2 points3 points ago

Ummm... what about The Avengers?!?

[–]-888- 1 point2 points ago

I must be getting old, because I thought Avengers sucked.

[–]Lilday -2 points-1 points ago

Horrible movie. Magic? New dimension? No thanks. Anything Thor is too far fetched. Iron man I could believe at least.

[–]OddDude55Bromine Barium 0 points1 point ago

Sounds like someone isn't familiar with the Marvel universe outside of the movies.

[–]Lilday 1 point2 points ago

Sorry dude. Not my thing.

The same reason I don't play WoW, LoL or any game along those lines...I simply can't accept any of it as reality and therefore cannot enjoy it.

Even so - the avengers was just a money spinner made for kids...Everything about the movie was horrific and the only impressive thing was the CGI. The original Iron Man movie and the Hulk were good, but Thor? Magic rainbows in outerspace and a big super hammer? eh, It is just too much for me.

[–]OddDude55Bromine Barium 1 point2 points ago

I dont play those games or even read comic books, but to me you sound like one of those people who look at a TV screen and wonder how those tiny people got inside.

It's called an imagination, dude. And dont worry, Im not actually your computer talking to you.

[–]Lilday -3 points-2 points ago

I have an imagination, I just don't enjoy fantasy/unrealistic shows/events etc...

I can watch "Game of Thrones", because it has some real world ties and is relatively believable (at most points)...the same goes for Breaking Bad...It isn't a very realistic plot but it is set in the real world and I can somewhat relate to it with 99% of it being plausible.

I guess I just have a different boundary than some people. I prefer a little more weight on the realism whilst other people may wish to get away from the realism and experience something heavily weighted towards fantasy/magic etc.

Categorizing me as "one of those people" simply because I don't share your tastes in genres of TV shows/movies/books is pretty immature if I'm honest. Some people just don't enjoy hobbits, gods, magic, and fairies...

[–]OddDude55Bromine Barium 1 point2 points ago

Better be careful, Game of Thrones has dragons in it!

[–]CMelodyTrue Change 1 point2 points ago

Wait, dragons aren't real? I just thought they were rare.

Like, unicorn rare.

[–]Lilday 1 point2 points ago

I've never heard of either of those movies.

For the record I don't know who or why you were downvoted so I gave you an upvote. Seems like an innocent question to me.

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points ago

Because he hasn't seen them?

[–]CMelodyTrue Change 0 points1 point ago

I want to see Looper again just to see all the detail they packed into every scene...loved all the cars with solar panels and those freaky eyedrop drugs and the design of the blunderbuss. Very fun to watch, and of course both JGL and Bruce Willis were awesome. As was that guy who played Kid Blue.

[–]Lai90 -1 points0 points ago

You've made me thinking about your post for more than 2 minutes. 6 movies, 7 movies, 6 movies, 7 movies... What?

[–]Lilday 0 points1 point ago

7, sorry haha.

[–]tromadz 0 points1 point ago

cinema, eh.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

Bourne Legacy was that bad? That makes me sad, I loved the first 3.

[–]Lilday -1 points0 points ago

Yeah I'm a big fan of the first three, but IMO Legacy didn't really deserve to join them.

It is enjoyable and worth a download, but with hindsight I wouldn't have paid to watch it.

However: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICjyAe9S54c

Enjoy.

[–]Warrus 0 points1 point ago

How did you like Lawless? Considering going to see it.

[–]Lilday 0 points1 point ago

Definitely worth a watch, I was impressed but not amazed.

[–]Conradfr 1 point2 points ago

I saw only #1 et #3 and thought it was some of the worst movies I've ever seen.

So now, I'm not sure about Looper ;)

[–]SetupGuy -2 points-1 points ago

Looper should be about 4 slots lower. SO meh.

[–]jlennon4422Ch-ch-ch-cheetos -1 points0 points ago

It was really good once yet get past the paradoxes and plotholes created by time travel

[–]ZincHead 22 points23 points ago

I wouldn't be surprised if all the fans buying tickets sell out the theater and Aaron Paul never gets an opportunity to buy a ticket.

[–]iammolotovI have my profoundest realizations on the john 3 points4 points ago

Or the theater gave him a hundred bucks to tweet that and sell out for the day.

[–]heslaotianMr. Dingdingding 25 points26 points ago

Aaron Paul knows how to use Twitter properly

[–]jonesyb 8 points9 points ago

How is one supposed to use Twitter properly?

[–][deleted] 30 points31 points ago

Like Aaron Paul.

[–]d0105950 5 points6 points ago

takes notes

[–]heslaotianMr. Dingdingding 5 points6 points ago

Well if you're a celebrity you do stuff like this for your loving fans.

[–]lostrockDead Mackerel Eyes 29 points30 points ago

I would like to see a movie starring JGL and Aaron Paul.

[–][deleted] 19 points20 points ago

JGL as Aaron Paul

[–]entirely_irrelephant 32 points33 points ago

JGL as Aaron Paul as Zooey Deschanel as Daniel Day Lewis as Abraham Lincoln.

You're welcome.

[–]dannyduh 2 points3 points ago

Minus the Zooey and I'm down.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

I'd watch that.

[–]DiarrheaServedCold -1 points0 points ago

I'd watch fap to that.

[–]CMelodyTrue Change 1 point2 points ago

Saw the Daniel Day Lewis as Lincoln trailer last night and thought it could be so much better if they threw some vampires in there.

[–]Adios_numero_two 0 points1 point ago

I just want to see JGL change his acting style to match Aaron Paul's personality. That would be a big stretch on the spectrum of his acting history.

[–]CMelodyTrue Change 2 points3 points ago

Me, too! Rian Johnson needs to make that happen.

[–]Viper_H 14 points15 points ago

I saw Notting Hill recently. Aaron Paul wasn't in it.

[–]Zolty 1 point2 points ago

I see what you did there, you are clever. How's that working out for you?

[–][deleted] 5 points6 points ago

I guess seeing an awesome movie is a bonus then.

[–]lodovicok 1 point2 points ago

Aaron Paul is in my home borough in London?!

[–]eskick 2 points3 points ago

This is what i thought too, i remember there are many copycat names in America too so i am not sure

[–]Look_Alive 0 points1 point ago

There were pictures of him at the London Fashion Show a couple of weeks ago, sitting next to Victoria Pendleton, so maybe he's still in London.

(Kinda stalker-ish for my very first post on Reddit)

[–]eskick 0 points1 point ago

aw, i should go to cinema with him then, did i miss it?

ps: welcome to Reddit, you have just proven yourself worthy to be a Redditor :D

[–]imkidcableYo. 7 points8 points ago

[–]bacon_pantsThe soul? There's nothing but chemistry here. 3 points4 points ago

I feel like this disproves all the "I bet Aaron Paul is sick of being mobbed by fans so everyone leave him alone" posts.

[–]shadybrainfarmLow-Density Polyethylene 0 points1 point ago

Well, he does have an "Oh god, what am I doing here" expression in literally every picture I've seen of him with a fan. Maybe that's just the face he makes though. It's Aaron Paul's version of duckface.

[–]framburglar 3 points4 points ago

This just proves that he doesn't mind taking pictures with people since he posted on twitter that he would be there. So everyone please stop bitching about how he looks uninterested and annoyed in the pics he takes with fans. He enjoys it. You're just jealous.

[–]hipstersmakemelaugh 2 points3 points ago

Why can't I be there?

[–]XecutorBetter Call Saul! 1 point2 points ago

This movie now sells 100k more tickets

[–]InfiniteLiveZ 0 points1 point ago

He shouldn't have specified what cinema he was going to, people all over the world would have been buying tickets just in case.

[–]Zolty 1 point2 points ago

Having seen the movie already let me say that it deserves to.

[–][deleted] ago

[deleted]

[–]Mousi 1 point2 points ago

Prepare for what? We are already at 100% full-on circlejerk. Not that I'm complaining, I love the shit out of the show, so I'm happy with it.

[–]ajmueller 1 point2 points ago

I'm on vacation with my family in London. We literally were near Notting Hill just before 5. I wish I had seen this :(

[–]sweetgreerchic 0 points1 point ago

I wish I could see him!

[–]the_turdburglar 0 points1 point ago

No, we'll probably just continue to get a steady stream of Aaron Paul tweets.

[–]emileogalileo 0 points1 point ago

ahh gawddd wish I were there

[–]reeve512 0 points1 point ago

Where is Notting Hill anyways?

[–]Hybrid351 0 points1 point ago

So Aaron Paul is basically the same as Jesse, only he deals karma instead of meth?

[–]Gene_The_Stoner 1 point2 points ago

Just downvote the shit out of them.

[–]apullin -4 points-3 points ago

They've advertised the shit out of the movie, which means that it's probably not good :(

[–]electrolemonkafkaesque 1 point2 points ago

that's a huge jump in logic which is proven false by the movie being absolutely incredible

[–]dirtyfries 0 points1 point ago

Doesn't that logic fly in the face of just about every blockbuster ever?

[–]DrellAssassinThe Other W.W. 0 points1 point ago

The movie is fantastic, go see it. It's the same director of Fly and Fifty One of Breaking Bad

[–]apullin 0 points1 point ago

You've seen it and you know it's good? Or you're saying that it's good just because it is from the same director? Actually, 'Fly' was by far my favorite episode, even back when it first aired and everyone hated it.

[–]DrellAssassinThe Other W.W. 0 points1 point ago

I saw it Friday, I know for a fact it's good. It was because of his work on BB that I saw it, and it's one of the best time travel movies ever made.

[–]TedFromTheFutureI Fucked Walter's Wife 0 points1 point ago

Have you tried out Rotten Tomatoes or Metacritic? They may be more reliable in determining whether a movie might be worth visiting the theater.
