The shit Frank Lucas sold was likely cut up at every rung of the ladder. Walt's pure shit was being sold on the street. You'd have to have some rich meth heads if you're selling that for profit.
Not necessarily. Once you convince others to sample it and buy it, you will have people selling their first born for another taste. My uncle worked for the Chambers Brothers (not the singing group either) right around the time they left for Detroit. As you upgrade your stuff and put a real distribution system into place, then you won't have to worry about turning a profit. When people get hooked in an area with that small of a population (Ark./Miss./Memphis), you basically can drive up the price without a seeing a dip in what you're bringing in. That's why they took their chance in going to Detroit.

Jon Jones would invite the clinch unlike Anderson. Anderson now basically uses the first whole first round as a feeling out process, which is a detriment to the judges and winning the fight. If you're a capable and solid wrestler, you can count on Anderson giving up that first takedown if you can legitimately get underneath his legs for a takedown. And if you just clinch with him, he'll stand against the cage with you trading knees to the legs. Jones, on the other hand, would love if Cormier came out and tried to play the strength game. Even if he did somehow manage to get him down, Jones would perhaps elbow the crap out of him from the bottom and get right back up. After one or two rounds, if he made it that far, Cormier would be on cruise control and get absolutely stomped in the striking department. As mentioned already, we don't even know how his body would react after ten minutes of that at 205.

I'm with FSW. It's a TV show, who cares if its not 100% true in its depiction of the Mexican cartel. If you want to talk unrealistic it's dealers wanting to sell 100% pure meth. It wouldn't make sense to sell it like that. What are you worried a meth head might give your product a negative review on yelp?
People don't want to smoke shitty weed, so I would imagine meth would be held to a higher standard. You would continue your addiction by getting a stronger form of the drug. Hell, that's how Frank Lucas became the biggest dealer in America. He sold almost 100% pure heroin called Blue Magic.That's how he mowed down the competition in the states and not by shooting down people in cold blood in the street as depicted in American Gangster.

Vin might do okay, but Paul Walker better not step four feet away from that franchise.

According to IGN, Affleck is going into this film after doing Fincher's film from September to February. Also, Snyder is looking at Timothy Dalton to play Alfred.

Sakuraba being awesome.
Those gloves pre-Ouano looked terrible.
LOL

From the info I could glean from rimz's tales in San Jose, Cormier and Javier Mendez like to get their grub on. Maybe I am underestimating Cormier's discipline (which you need in order to be an Olympian), but I don't know if that is something he wants to do at his age.

Gus was somehow tied to the Chilean military it would appear. I don't think it's a stretch to think he has a large following.
It's a big stretch because they never actually alluded to it. If he did, Max would still be alive and the Eladio cartel is still in one piece.

Star Trek Into Darkness - Thought the movie as a whole sucked. Benedict Cumberbatch was pretty awesome as Khan though.
I just watched Star Trek the other day. It was okay to me, but it was hard to get past Eric Bana looking like a silly jackass and Karl Urban sounding like a drunk Jimmy Stewart.

Oh come on, it's a fucking tv show, it's not a real cartel.

They did oversimplify it though. When people hit bosses in the mafia without permission, they usually end up dead outside a bar or restaurant with a bullet to the back of the cranium and a twenty dollar bill crammed up their ass to symbolize greed two days later. Motherfucking Gus Fring executed AN ENTIRE CARTEL and walked back to Albuquerque like he had took out a crew of your average neighborhood hoodlums.

Close! It was started by a Yankees fan and then edited by this guy: "J. Myrle Fuller Meteorologist, sub sports announcer, wannabe humorist, and self-described jack of a lot of trades." How exciting.
Sounds like a great follow on Twitter. I'm sold.

I don't see how. The partnership had dried up and Gus couldn't even get the cartel guys to sit down with him until he gave them a cook. Considering Walt and Gus's relationship at the time, he couldn't let them have Jesse. He also couldn't sit around and let the cartel pick off his guys.
The Mexican drug cartel game is bigger than Don Eladio. If you know the cartel, Gus and co. would have never made it back to Albuquerque by the time Eladio's friends in the drug game got wind of it.

Probably depends on the show, but I can't imagine this would make too much. Dana's cronies will be walking around Milwaukee hotspots passing out freebies.

There should be a rule: You can't start a quarterback who doesn't have a Wikipedia entry.
He's got one now. It looks to have literally been created a couple hours ago.
I'm going to say he did it himself.

I would imagine, realistically, it would have been a very bad business move.
-
Even with Henderson vs. Pettis II, they're probably not going to be turning them away at the door for this one.

Man, City of Bones went down like a black dress on prom night. Made a bit of money overseas though so we'll probably see City of Ashes, but I don't think that this franchise will survive to see all six books make it to the big screen. Mini-series on cable, maybe.
I know Divergent will probably be a big success, but you know it has to make Summit Entertainment a little nervous. There are a good number of Academy Award and BAFTA nominated films that don't have $60 million and $80 million budgets with unknown actors and actresses let alone with a specific demo they're targeting. I don't know how many failed franchises distributors can crank out before they realize that everything can't be Hunger Games or Twilight.

Has this been advertised at all? I haven't seen a single mention of it on TV. If not, they are going to take a huge plunge from the first FS1 card ratings.
I saw one commercial. ONE.

That Times article is great. The way that people excuse the way Hank treats Marie is even worse. Maybe she's a shrill klepto because her husband treats her like shit and not the other way around? Although Hank discovering Walt seems to have really fixed up their marriage. I almost feel like they would have been closer to divorce if Hank had found out that Walt paid for the treatment when they still thought it was gambling money.
Walking away from explosions is cool, bro.
UGH. I feel about that like some people did about Gus's ending. I realize that both come from the same place--this show is meant to bend reality a bit--but the stigma there was a bit too much for me.
I think the whole Mexican cartel bit of Breaking Bad exhibited more stretching of reality than what happened with Jane and her dad or anything else in the history of the show. You can't help but believe that the cartel was there to be BAMFs so they can in turn make Gus, Hank, Jesse, and Mike look like BAMFs. Fans of the show evidently believe they accomplished that, but it doesn't account for how big of an undertaking it was to write them into the show AND write them out of the show. It had so much potential to upgrade the show to legendary status while also downgrading the show to unbelievable bullshit. The writers kept building them up and then BAM! All of them are taking the big sleep. That was the only problem I had with the whole thing because I was willing to let whole bunch of plotholes slide to believe one thing: you shouldn't fuck with the Mexican cartel. In the end, you can only make it look cartoonish ("Face Off") because the handling of the cartel defies logic.
You knew Gus wasn't going to die an ordinary death after Gaff splattered the brain of one of Mike's men all over the side of a truck and Gus came out to walk through a hail of bullets because he knew he wouldn't get killed. Before that, you had the twins get super ominous cold openings to try to get over their characters. They had one great moment ("One Minute"), but the rest probably made fans apathetic outside their introduction. Then, you had Gus showing up to exact revenge on Don Eladio. They never really explained why Gus Fring chose that specific moment to do that other than Hector killed Max. You're telling me that he had to wait several years until the cartel wanted this junkie to help improve their meth production to do that. Get...the...fuck...out. If that was the case, the Mexican cartel would NEVER, EVER let Gus have any clout over the cartel anywhere. Gus would just be a pawn for the cartel, and he would just have to send Jesse or Walt there alone instead of going with Mike to accompany Jesse. They would never compromise with Gus or his stipulations. Then, you had Don Eladio and his cartel get offed. Gus explained to Hector that he managed to kill his ENTIRE family and his name would die with him. Either Gus was lying, doesn't know how families actually work, or the writers just wanted to make Gus seem otherworldly dickish and inhumane. I don't know anyone whose family is confined to just four or five males or just males, period. This goes especially for people in a MEXICAN DRUG CARTEL. Even if it was only females left, those females could have sons out of wedlock who bare the Salamanca name.
I think the writers missed a GIANT opportunity to cover up those loose ends and/or make some of the characters from the storyline look less contrived. I understand they wanted Gustavo Fring to have the mystery to him, but why does it have to be his character? Not only that but we could have had so much more involvement from the cartel after Eladio's cartel was gone, Madrigal Electromotive GmbH, and how Mike started working with Gus. They could have squeezed an entire season out of that before those characters were written out.

It's not like it something important, like a Marvel character.
Yeah, I can't wait to see how crazy Twitter will get when they cast blue guy or other blue guy in the Marvel universe.
