Breaking Bad Returns August 11th

Yeah, Mr. White!

Here’s proof that being bald is awesome.

Hell Yeah. These GQ Stars Got Golden Globe Nominations. 

Way to go, team. Congrats to Peter Dinklage, Kristen Wiig, Bryan Cranston, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Michael Fassbender—you guys rule. Oh, and special thanks to our Bro of the Year, Miss Wiig, who brought sexy back to the “pouty face.” 

GQ’s Badasses of the Year:
The Men of Breaking Bad

Our culture critic Tom Carson on the AMC meth-dealer-in-the-desert epic’s ensemble cast and its mesmerizing fourth season. A quick bit from Carson below. His full take is here.

With just one season left to go, Breaking Bad has shifted from being all about Bryan Cranston’s triple-Emmy’d (so far) lead performance to the best ensemble show on TV. This year, we were spun around four compromised points of the male compass: brains (the increasingly Machiavellian Walt), ego (Giancarlo Esposito’s drug kingpin Gus), heart (Aaron Paul’s Jesse, Walt’s reluctant sorcerer’s apprentice), and pure testosterone (Dean Norris as Hank, Walt’s DEA-agent brother-in-law—who’s got a supernally wise dark-side twin in Jonathan Banks, Gus’s head enforcer). Which one we get off on most says as much about us as picking our favorite Beatle.

Walter White is the 99%

Or at least stands with the 99%. I imagine running the nation’s meth empire might bump him into the 1%.
