For those with Netflix.... Arn, the Knight Templar is quite superb. The best TV I have viewed for some time. I have watched 4 of the 6 episodes so far.

That's one of my favorites. I've watched it in full at least three times.

I'm not familiar with all the versions. I rented the Blu-ray disc version from Netflix, which as far as I know presents the entire thing as a single film including The Kingdom at Road's End.

Whats the running time? The DVD I have is Called Arn the Knight Templar the complete series and is 265 minutes. Make sure you watch that one. The movie version that is edited is 130 minutes long. So much is cut out it isn't even watchable compared to the full version.

YES!  Ever see Red Cliff? There is a two 1/2 hour US version which is good, BUT there is a 5 hour Asian version which is PHENOMENAL. It's the same type of comparison. (Arn is good, but not as good as Red Cliff. Just saying that is how much you have been cheated) ;)

Red Cliff is one of my favorite movies. I did make sure to get the International Version. Damn Amerifats and our goldfish attention spans.

I'm getting this Arn movie.

I'm fully caught up on Breaking Bad now, just in time for the final episodes.

In honor of the event, here are some "better call Saul!" commercials and testimonials (not actually in the series, but relating to events within).

I'd also add this: I didn't know one of the actors who played as one of the Salamanca cousins was actually a gangster before he became an actor. That helps explain why they were so believable.

They showed the cold open to the new episode at Comic Con and apparently it's quite shocking.  I'm very excited about Sunday.
