The Hollywood Reporter Interviews “Hero” Writer Jennifer Hutchison
Jimmy has used this billboard scam to get legitimate business. But he’s had a taste of his old ways. Does he actually think he can go back to being legitimate?
That’s what this episode was about — the idea of can I just do this one kind of bad thing, but I’m doing it for good reasons. It’s the whole the ends justify the means idea. What we’ve been trying to do is have Jimmy tempted by his old, dishonest life, while also trying to make an honest life for himself. He really believes he’s just doing this one bad thing, but he’s going to do good. Nobody got hurt, so what’s the harm of pulling this little trick? He doesn’t yet understand the implications of the things he does. As the season goes on, that’s what happens — there are consequences to his actions.
Jimmy has qualities that are genuinely likeable and admirable, and yet we see already that he does not take into account how his actions will affect other people. Not only does he endanger the worker in this scene, but he also places Chuck in jeopardy by taking his newspaper just to avoid having to explain his antics. When faced with the chance to walk away from the Kettlemans with either his integrity or a large pile of cash, he could only choose one. If the rock on which Saul Goodman builds his church is made of quicksand, James McGill is laying that shifty foundation as we speak.

Thenew Hollywood Reporter interview with Scarlett Johansson has some interesting details about Black Widow movie:
Of holding down the summer opening slot usually reserved for male-fronted films, Johansson says: “The movie packs a big punch. If that slot is reserved for movies that pack a big punch, then we’re in a good, good space.”
Black Widow, which is directed by Cate Shortland (Lore), is a prequel to Endgame, catching up with Johansson’s character, KGB assassin Natasha Romanoff, after the events of Captain America: Civil War. Executive producing the film “is liberating in a way,” Johansson says. “I feel like I’m in control of the destiny of this film, which gives me a lot more peace of mind,” she continues. “I know her better than anybody. What was her childhood like? What is her relationship to figures of authority? This character is gritty and multi-dimensional but has a lot of trauma and has led an unexamined life. In order to operate at this elite level, she has probably had to push away a lot of stuff.”
The article also has her saying that she 100% believes Woody Allen. To be clear, that is not remotely defensible, should be condemned, and I’m not welcoming discussion of that on this blog.
