You Have to See Bryan Cranston as a "Power Rangers" Villain

Bryan Cranston can act in a great range of roles. Besides his obvious stellar work on Breaking Bad, he was truly hilarious on Malcolm in the Middle. He's also had a turn in war in Saving Private Ryan and the legal side of crime in The Lincoln Lawyer. Recently, he even teamed up with Ben Affleck for the critically acclaimed, real-world, high stakes con movie, Argo. However, one of his lesser known but most shocking roles has been as the villain Twinman in the classic 90s children's show: Might Morphin Power Rangers. He just did the voice, of course, but the clip is still genuinely funny if you imagine Heisenberg delivering the lines. If you're a true fan with a few extra minutes go back and watch the full episode. MMPR was a staple of many a' kid's childhood.

Emmy Recap: Breaking Bad Wins Everything, HBO kicks themselves for not submitting True Detective as a Mini-Series

The Emmy's weren't a huge surprise this year, generally speaking. Breaking Bad won Drama Lead Actor, Drama Supporting Actress, Drama Supporting Actor, Drama Writing (for Ozymandias), and obviously Drama Series overall. True Detective managed to snag Drama Director, but that's about it.

I'm guessing it didn't take long for HBO executives to start pointing fingers about whose idea it was to submit True Detective as a Drama, not a Mini-Series. At the very least, Matthew McConaughey should've been mad he was denied his well-deserved Emmy for Rust Cohle, especially because he almost certainly won't have another chance to win with that character.

In Comedy, Louie took home Best Writing, and Modern Family generously got Best Comedy Series, Supporting Actor and Director. Julia Louis-Dreyfus received her well-deserved Emmy for Best Actress. All was well, except...

As a strange insult to every other talented person in the Best Comedy Actor category, Matt LeBlanc, Ricky Gervais, Don Cheadle, Louis f-ing C.K., and William H. Macy, Jim Parsons won, again. The man responsible for the, hands down least funny, most annoying, catch-phrase having, cringe inducing, did I say unfunny, character on television right now won. It's generally good to make an effort to separate dislike of a character from the actor portraying them (Anna Gunn for example, seems like a lovely person even though Skylar became pretty unbelievable by the end of Breaking Bad). However, in the case of Jim Parsons, I make an exception. His unbelievable greed for 90 million goddamn dollars a year cost him any benefit of the doubt he had left. I don't often say this, but I think after my experience in school plays for a few years, I could create a better character than Bazinga-man has. 

So the Emmy's were relatively, and in one case unfortunately, predictable. A disappointing side-effect of True Detective and Breaking Bad is that Game of Thrones got shut out this year. It's hard to disagree with any decision but I hate to see such a good show not recognized. It's too bad the Emmys don't have an honorable mention category. 

Also, this happened.

Any disagreements?

Breaking Bad Stars Bryan Cranston, Aaron Paul and Julia Louis-Dreyfus Return to Star in Electric Emmy Promo

Some stars just don't have an off switch. Bryan Cranston can't seem to stop being excellent. He is back along with Breaking Bad co-star Aaron Paul and Veep/Seinfeld queen, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, in a hilarious Emmy promo skit. Cranston and Dreyfus both have already proven beyond a doubt they have consummate comedy chops, but it's a delightful surprise to see Aaron Paul play a hilarious simpleton pawn shop owner. 

Granted, Jesse had his moments in BB (the dinner scene, wow), but this short shows Paul might have a serious future in comedy. Now that Breaking Bad is over, he can do pretty much whatever he wants. An Aaron Paul sitcom could be great, or turn out to be a disaster, but either way a lot of people would certainly tune in. I'm sure more than a few writers out there are thinking about it after watching this.

Also, JLD is wonderful as always.
