Enter the Void
Hi, my name is Dan, and this is not for you.

Jeymes Samuel, the frontman for U.K. hip-hop collective The Bullits, isn’t a recognizable name in most circles. But the up-and-coming musician is trying his hand at filmmaking, putting together a black western short They Die By Dawn, with a fairly impressive cast already being lined up.
OkayPlayer are reporting that Samuel has recruited The Wire duo Idris Elba and Michael K. Williams, along with Rosario Dawson, Breaking Bad star Giancarlo Esposito and songstress Erykah Badu for a forty-five minute film likely to be a companion piece to his upcoming album, “They Die By Dawn And Other Short Stories.” Elba and Dawson have worked with Samuel before, and their work can be found on The Bullit’s Youtube page. It doesn’t stop there either, with “some more big names” to be added in the near future.

GQ’s Badasses of the Year:The Men of Breaking Bad
Our culture critic Tom Carson on the AMC meth-dealer-in-the-desert epic’s ensemble cast and its mesmerizing fourth season:
With just one season left to go, Breaking Bad has shifted from being all about Bryan Cranston’s triple-Emmy’d (so far) lead performance to the best ensemble show on TV. This year, we were spun around four compromised points of the male compass: brains (the increasingly Machiavellian Walt), ego (Giancarlo Esposito’s drug kingpin Gus), heart (Aaron Paul’s Jesse, Walt’s reluctant sorcerer’s apprentice), and pure testosterone (Dean Norris as Hank, Walt’s DEA-agent brother-in-law—who’s got a supernally wise dark-side twin in Jonathan Banks, Gus’s head enforcer). Which one we get off on most says as much about us as picking our favorite Beatle.
