Have a butchers of that - I know I'll be watching this!

Apparently it'll be a bit of a TWD cast reunion - Shane, Dale, and Jim.

Formerly known as "L.A. Noir" (until the owners of the game "L.A. Noire" said they couldn't use the title), and briefly "Lost Angels" IIRC - now it's called "Mob City".

Jon Bernthal is the only thing that worries me about this. Hopefully under Darabont's direction he'll bring his A-game and a better performance than TWD.

:stunned: I thought the dude kicked ass in TWD...took a character who could have come off as Snidley Whiplash & made you feel for him on some levels...:confused:

Agreed. Bernthal nailed the character and was able to turn an underused character from the original comic into a richly textured semi-villain who goes from Rick's favourite bro to damn-near his killer. His arc practically owns season 2.

Bernthal was more like a Soap Opera actor in TWD. No range, annoying physical ticks, etc. Just not the same caliber of actor as everyone else. Especially Lincoln.

I know it's an opinion & all, but were we watching the same show...?:rockbrow:

Colour me confused too :confused: ... I thought Bernthal was right up there with the best of them in the show.

Each to their own, I guess - fair do's.

Yeh, I'm kinda getting what Bassman is on about.

He was decent in the role and all, but there were times when I wasn't so sure.

I've come to the conclusion that nobody likes anything that anybody else likes, so it's all good. :lol:
