First it was a turn as Weird Al Yankovic, now it's a spoof rom-com trailer. Very funny...and Aaron gets to rock cardigans and bowties. It's a win-win :) Via Funny or Die

I came across this on Tumblr this morn. Notable both for the pic (mmmmm...thoughtfully sophisticated) and the snippet of info. His new film sounds an interesting change from the roles he's usually cast in :)

More from the wee sojourn...this time I bring tidings from The Guardian ep "The Men from the Boys". Here AP plays a closeted kid who's gay and is estranged from his profoundly Christian parents because of his 'confused lifestyle choice'. 

The pics aren't brilliant quality as they were taken from an online vid, but here goes:

( Caps ahoy... )

As might be picked up from the pics, yes, he does get beaten up. Again O_O

In continuing my sojourn through Aaron's back catalogue, I put myself through Ghost Whisperer, which frankly is a show that makes me want to puke, it's so saccharine-sweet with hammy sentimentality. But at the end, I couldn't resist capping this ep ("Fury") for two reasons:

1.  His character goes back to the 70s. And looks pretty funny as a consequence!
2.  In a totally random link to Breaking Bad, Giancarlo Esposito is in the ep too. And suffice to say, he and AP's character don't really get along very well. Which got me thinking about the distinct possiblity of Jesse and Gus having met in a previous life :D

Just a few quick warnings--my commentary is a tad spoilerific re the episode's plot, and there's a bit of blood and violent imagery, so don't click if you don't like that kind of stuff, otherwise...

Aaron Paul

As Jesse Pinkman on AMC’s Breaking Bad, Aaron Paul delves into some dark places: methamphetamine trafficking, murder, and drug addiction. “The story we’re telling is very intense and sad at times, ” says Paul, “so [co-star] Bryan [Cranston] will squirt me with penisshaped squirt guns in the middle of a scene. ” So it goes on the set of the superserious show that features relative newcomer Paul and comedy veterans Bryan Cranston and Bob Odenkirk. “It definitely breaks the tension, ” laughs Paul. For his role as the methaddicted Pinkman, Paul did his research, albeit not in the same way Roger Corman famously researched for The Trip by dropping acid in the desert. “Are you asking me if I’m a meth-od actor? ” Paul gags, and then turns a grave tone to the role and the addictive quality of meth. “No, it’s amazing what you can find on YouTube. You can see how people react to the drug and how people’s voice patterns change. It’s a sad and tragic drug. The show is about very bad decisions. ” Paul is now finding himself in a position to make very good decisions about his career. With recurring roles on both Breaking Bad and HBO’s Big Love, Paul is suddenly in demand. “There’s a little bit more cushion, ” he admits. “I don’t have to do a job to survive or pay rent. I can be a little bit more picky now. ” We look forward to seeing him in challenging roles for years to come.

Ah, it was such a hoot watching this ep of The X-Files! Until Breaking Bad, I'd almost forgotten what subtle offbeat black humour on TV looked like, and then realised that The X-Files was my first foray into Vince Gilligan-influenced work...bless him. Having noticed very quickly that Aaron plays a total douchebag here, I knew then why I hadn't noticed him the first time I saw this. Probably because I thought his character (Sky Commander Winky) was such a tool, he deserves whatever he gets, LOL. But nonetheless, he's so funny in this his character is almost redeemable. Almost ;)
