AMC Announces Breaking Bad Split Schedule
AMC Has set a firm premiere for the first half of Breaking Bad's final season, and confirmed the dread plan to split the highly anticipated conclusion of the series into two parts. The first 8 episodes of Breaking Bad season 5 will begin airing July 15th at 10pm Est on AMC. The final 8 will air sometime in summer 2013. This plan is bound to be highly unpopular among Breaking Bad fans, but what can we do about it? The split will allow AMC to get another year out of Breaking Bad and potentially a Season 5.1, 5.2, and complete season 5 DVD/Blu-Ray set, in addition to a series set.
Over four seasons, Breaking Bad has earned six Emmy wins, a Peabody Award, and was named to the American Film Institute's list of Top 10 Programs for the Year three times. Lead actor Bryan Cranston, who plays chemistry teacher turned drug king-pin Walter White,...

Patricio Guzmán's Nostalgia for the Light won Best Feature at the International Documentary Association's Awards ceremony in Los Angeles last night. The La Times' Susan King: "Set in northern Chile's Atacama Desert, the documentary juxtaposes scenes of astronomers in observatories scanning the galaxies, while nearby, archaeologists and elderly women dig through the sand searching for the human remains of pre-Columbian mummies, 19th century miners who labored in slave conditions and the bodies of victims of Gen Augusto Pinochet's regime who were taken to the Atacama as political prisoners and dumped there." Michael Guillén interviewed Guzmán in October 2010.
TheWrap's Steve Pond notes that neither Nostalgia nor any of the other docs nominated for the Ida's top award — Better This World, How to Die in Oregon, The Redemption of General Butt Naked and The Tiniest Place — have made the Academy's shortlist of 15 films left in the race for the Best Documentary Feature Oscar.

Hot on the heels of the news that AMC will be delivering a 90 minute premiere of The Walking Dead (read more here), the network has also announced two new series.
Jjk Security is executive produced by Ken Druckerman and Banks Tarver from Left/Right (This American Life, Boomtown, Mob Wives). The show features a group of quirky characters who work at a small, family-owned private security company located in rural Georgia. Each episode will feature an investigation, a security assignment, the training of a new recruit, etc, but the real draw is what the network calls an "incredibly compelling character based story." AMC's Joel Stillerman, Senior Vice President of Original Programming, said “When we first saw the tape of Jjk we were speechless. It is unlike anything we have ever seen before - a true original. The characters are incredibly rich and compelling; and Left/Right found a way...
