Aaron Paul's critically acclaimed role of Jesse Pinkman in Breaking Bad is how people generally know him
Commercials are one of the few things in life I find really annoying. They exist for the sole reason of companies trying to sell products or imprint messages with mass marketing. Not to mention, it's usually an interruption to something, which is just inconvenient in itself. But one commercial with Aaron Paul has recently been making me change how I feel about them. For those of you who don't know which commercial I'm talking about, I'm talking about his one for XBox 1, where he plays TitanFall. It hasn't convinced me to get an XBox 1 (though he makes it seem awesome) because of the price and how little I play games, but just seeing him and his Jesse Pinkman persona on TV again is great. He's a humble and hardworking actor, with lots of similarities to me, I think, in his determination and belief in life, which is why it's so great to see him succeed. It's all very well deserved, so if you haven't checked it out, go watch it. It's pretty hard to miss.
Jesse getting to relax now that there's no more Heisenberg around
I thought it fitting to start this post with a video I found on Youtube when Aaron Paul (known as Aaron Sturtevant back then) was on 'The Price Is Right". Why? Because it's hilarious, and it shows how consistent Aaron Paul's personality has been, which doesn't just describe who he is, but it describes his character Jesse Pinkman from the show Breaking Bad, which ended less than a week ago (still hard for me to believe). Despite being a drug/meth cook/dealer, Jesse used to be a happy guy. Okay, maybe happy is the wrong word since he had a history of drug and family problems, but before he met Walter White, at least he smiled. After that, his life was never the same. And as the seasons of Breaking Bad went on, we saw the Jesse who used to scream "BITCH" all the time disintegrate before our eyes. In some ways, it was good, since Jesse became more serious and his relationship with Mr. White was defined closely, but I do miss the simpler times. With that in mind, I hope you guys find this video as entertaining as I did. Aaron Paul seems like a great guy, and I wish he won the car on the show, but it's safe to say he found greener pastures later on in life.
As for Breaking Bad's series finale "Felina", like many, I thought it was very well done. It wasn't as spectacular as "Ozymandias" or 'Rabid Dog" from a few episodes before, but unlike Dexter, Seinfeld, and other series finale's that have let me down, at least Breaking Bad stayed true to who it was and gave fans a satisfying ending. There were some things I had quips with, but they were small, and looking back, they don't change how I feel about the episode. I honestly just wish it wasn't over because this was one of the few consistent shows that I never got tired of, which is a credit to creator Vince Gilligan, and the actors from Bryan Cranston, Aaron Paul, Anna Gunn, etc. I still have many questions about the episode, like what happened to Jesse, but since he was one of my favorite characters from the show, I hope he finds happiness. He deserves it! And man, was I glad Todd, Lydia, and all the other villains got their just desserts. That may have been the most satisfying thing of all, besides finding down how it all went down. I honestly predicted most of it, but I never could have predicted how much a show like this would impact me as much as it has. Good-bye Breaking Bad! You are definitely one of the best shows ever created!
With that in mind, time to end the night with a few clips of our favorite corrupt lawyer Saul Goodman. Even though Breaking Bad is over, we still have Saul's new spinoff to look forward to. Hope you all enjoy!
