Speaking of books, your follow-up topic was World War Z. I got the movie via Amazon Prime Pre-Order (Plug, plug!) and all I could do while watching it was think, "Man, this is nothing like the book" and felt nothing but disappointment.
So, I waited a week and watched it again. It is a fun movie, inspired by the book, but the only thing they really share is zombies and the title.
Hi Guys - When I heard you talking about Australians being the highest number of downloaders of the final episode of 'Breaking Bad', I had decided to post a comment saying "well, we *are* a nation that was founded by thieves and criminals", but you beat me to the punch, Braden, with the 'Princess Bride' reference. Although (sadly) there is probably still an undercurrent of that mentality in the national psyche, the reality is that this is a situation largely of the internet's making. Ever since that episode screened, there have been online articles and other content making reference to it, sometimes with spoiler alerts, but often without. Even if you're not a fan who gets involved in online discussions, it can be very hard to avoid reading "that which cannot be unread" prior to seeing the episode in question, and there's not really a digital equivalent of sticking your fingers in your ears and saying "la-la-la-not-listening-la-la-la!". Fortunately I haven't begun watching 'Breaking Bad' - although it is queued up in my Netflix account (which I have thanks to advice heard previously on your show about circumventing geo-blocking) - so by the time I get to seeing the final episode, my failing middle-aged memory will have forgotten any specifics I may stumble across now(!)
