Semi-good taste. The Abrams Star Trek movies are great and Alio will enjoy them. He should probably watch Breaking Bad simply because it has been a cultural phenomenon, but I'll bet I can find shows he'll enjoy more.

He has good taste.

As I said, he's an aspiring film major. He wants to direct.

Yeah, the acting on BB isn't quite on the level of Arrow or AoS.

Let's not rehash this whole thing. Suffice to say acting is all but meaningless to me when watching something. I just like watching excrement blow up. Good acting is certainly a bonus, but it's far from a necessity for me.

To put it in perspective, I liked the Star Wars prequels. Because Jedi and 'splosions.

Hahaha, I loved that scene. That kid was admittedly a bit irritating though.

How long are you prepared to financially support him for?

Haha, he already knows that if that's the route he takes, he's on his own. I made that clear from day one. It got him to start considering a double-major, so we'll see.

If he's ok with the possibility of being 2nd AD on commercials until he's 40 (at which point he might get to become 1st AD on commercials!), go for it.  He can live on it.  Otherwise, there are a million other kids out there with the same ability and same vision and same confidence.  The ones who will eventually direct features are almost all connected already.  I don't know of a harder job to break into.  The 'paying your dues' stage is hard to get to, and most people now end up stuck there.  Film died almost a decade ago.  I'm not saying to tell him not to do it, but he needs to know what to realistically expect.  Even acting allows you to work a day job until you hit on an audition.  Directing?  That's a whole other beast.  Learn a trade.  Learn to edit.  Better yet, learn sound.

Judging by the mask it looks like the main villain follows the teachings of Revan, great excrement.
