  1. Also, I don't get this angry stigma towards Apatow regarding how he makes movies about upper-middle class white people that I just started seeing this month. What the hell does it matter what class or race of people he makes movies about? The argument about self-indulgence and casting the same people (mainly his family) is semi-legitimate, but complaining about race/class is just ridiculous.

  2. Funny People was fantastic and I'm a big Apatow fan, the problem with TI40 is that it just comes off as bland. There's no hook like his first two movies, and it isn't ambitious and risky like Funny People, it's just sort of there. It looks like the kind of movie Apatow could sleepwalk through (and judging from reviews, it isn't unlikely that he did).

  3. Breaking Bad doesn't have a mainstream audience. The last aired episode of Breaking Bad got 2.78 million viewers-that's pretty far from being "mainstream".

    It's mainstrem enough to have its own t-shirts at the mall. It isn't massive, but it's doing quite well for itself as far as cable dramas go.Besides, the "mainstream" part isn't the important part, the "universally glowing response" is.

  4. Hard to compare a zombie story to a drug dealing story. If we are going to compare, it all comes down to opinion and Walking Dead seems to be the most popular.

    Not really. Breaking Bad is the most acclaimed show in years while also being a mainstream hit with a continually growing fanbase, with a universally positive response. Walking Dead may be much more popular, but response is waaaaaay more mixed, particularly for the second season. You wouldn't say it's hard to say which is better between Transformers and The Social Network because they're different genres and one seems to be more popular.
