Walter White (Bryan Cranston) - Breaking Bad _ Season 5, Episode 16 - Photo Credit: Ursula Coyote/AMC (Spoiler Alert, etc.) Last night’s Breaking Bad ended with Walt lying on the lab floor, dead, with Badfinger’s “Baby Blue” playing. The song felt like a wildly appropriate closer for a crime epic centered around blue meth, what with the opening lyric “Guess I got what I deserved” and the refrain “the special love I have for you, my Baby Blue.

It’s that time of year again: The temperature is dropping, festive decorations are going up, e-commerce platforms have slashed prices for Cyber Monday — the holiday season has arrived. While the rest of the world seems to be gearing upfor Christmas, there are those who might be less than enthused when it comes to snowflakes and string lights. If you’re not a fan of winter — or if you’re simply missing Spooky Season — don’t resign yourself to yuletide cheer quite yet.

Clockwise from top left: L.A. Confidential, Lethal Weapon, Batman Returns, The Thin Man. This article was originally published on December 21, 2017. It has been updated to include more films. Whenever we discuss our favorite Christmas movies, there’s always that one guy (and it’s always a guy) who chimes in, “What about Die Hard?” And listen, Die Hard is a great film, but saying it’s a great Christmas film is, at this point, well-trod territory.

’Tis the season of the Oscars movie, and while this winter comes bearing the gift of more straight-faced and serious hopefuls — touching on subjects like Me Too in the newsroom drama She Said, homophobia in Elegance Bratton’s The Inspection, and slavery in the Will Smith–starring Emancipation — there’s a certain wackiness to come in the months ahead, too. Daniel Craig’s Foghorn Leghorn impression will drawl through a second whodunit in Rian Johnson’s Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery.

The Great British Flower Bake Off Fight. Netflix, always looking for the next big thing, has taken all the twee whimsy from The Great British Bake Off and applied it to the new competition show The Big Flower Fight. Yep, that’s flower not flour. Despite being concerned with floral sculptures, not baked goods, The Big Flower Fight’s production design, music, and narration, among other aspects, feel lifted directly from Bake Off — a similarity that has not gone unremarked upon as we collectively endure this current uncertain, GBBO-less reality.

Instagram can be a breeding ground for comedic theft. It’s no secret that some of the most-followed comedic accounts, like FuckJerry and the Fat Jewish, gained their massive followings by lifting jokes from comedians and artists without asking for permission, crediting, or paying the original creators. But Instagram has also become a place where original content flourishes. Countless illustrators and cartoonists are sharing their work on the platform, and instead of recycling outdated memes, they’re crafting content that’s funny, fresh, and unique.

Per Deadline, IMDb TV is currently developing a TV reboot of Cruel Intentions, the 1999 film that starred Sarah Michelle Gellar, Ryan Phillippe, and Reese Witherspoon. The cult hit was originally based on Les Liaisons dangereuses, a French novel about narcissistic exes who delight in manipulation, seduction, and betrayal. This time around, the story will be set at an elite college in Washington, D.C., where two step siblings are determined to stay at the top of the Greek life hierarchy.

Studio Ghibli has created some of the most beloved animated films in the history of the medium worldwide. Yet here we are, nearly four decades after the studio’s founding, with much of the work of its two great directors — Hayao Miyazaki (Spirited Away, etc.) and Isao Takahata (Grave of the Fireflies, etc.) — almost entirely unheralded outside of Japan and animation circles. That’s beginning to change, with American institutions like the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles holding retrospectives of both directors’ films and the distributor GKIDS bringing more and more of Miyazaki and Takahata’s extra-Ghibli works Stateside.
