Eh, it's a great show and all but you've created a really bizarre serial killer so far dude.

mcconaughey does some really excellent shit with tiny mannerisms-not closing his hand over the girl's when he danced-the way he walks, that tense posture but not beefed up in the shoulders, like he's sleepwalking almost-those weird expressive mouth sounds he makes in the interview room
he's so good i can't take it

cooking meth I buy, tho not sure what use a machete is in that context.

keep feeling like all off-handed talk about hurricanes--or hurricanes as these historical punctuation marks--is foreshadowing but most likely it's just a gulf coast thing.

so obsessed with this show - McConaughey is hypnotic.
― Roz, Monday, 27 January 2014 17:15 (ten years ago) link
yeah he's great. the character is great. the excited look on his date's face when he showed up was funny.
― ryan, Monday, 27 January 2014 17:19 (ten years ago) link
don't know if it's the makeup or lighting but the still-handsome but harrowed look he has is perfect.
― ryan, Monday, 27 January 2014 17:20 (ten years ago) link
the difference between old him and young him, man that is a killer makeup job

So I don't get it - they were driving in the car determinedly in the penultimate scene, then the cut to the dude. Is that supposed to be the boyfriend of the other chick? Did they already get his address?
― calstars, Monday, 27 January 2014 17:22 (ten years ago) link
i'm starting to wonder about the makeup. they're gonna be spending a LOT of time acting 15 years younger. something artificially worn in the faces. when cohle was unshirted over at hart's house w/ the mower something about his arms just seemed too… gnarled.
liked woody's performance—a lot of instability in his transparent lunges at prevaricating, trying to pretend to a desperation that it seems like he really is too indifferent/self-absorbed to sustain. but then when he's with cohle, he makes him so MAD that all the deadness that he's built up inside him is projected out onto cohle
― j., Monday, 27 January 2014 17:26 (ten years ago) link
yes otm
― ryan, Monday, 27 January 2014 17:30 (ten years ago) link
seems like with MM they split the difference and made him look younger than he really does in the flashbacks and older in the present day.
― ryan, Monday, 27 January 2014 17:31 (ten years ago) link
good stuff, j! otm

I'm wondering what's supposed to have happened in the intervening 15 years - Woody's obviously moved up in the world, looking clean and sharp in his fancy suit. Mac by contrast is a total mess. so professional lives diverged significantly for some reason.
― Ayn Rand Akbar (Shakey Mo Collier), Monday, 27 January 2014 17:39 (ten years ago) link
in the first episode they mention that Rust went "off the grid" for 8 years.
also: have they even told Woody's character about the lake charles murder?
― ryan, Monday, 27 January 2014 17:42 (ten years ago) link
yeah modern day MM is remembering the compound as vietnam-like and the dude as a monster so that is what we are shown but w/in the bounds of the earlier action, i dont think they know where he lives yet, lil confusing
― johnny crunch, Monday, 27 January 2014 17:42 (ten years ago) link
xp i feel like i haven't seen that in a while, real hatred, a lot of the shows i watch, even when there is some intelligible reason for one character to hate another, it's generally kind of a morally justifiable hatred, but when cohle says to hart's wife that hart -hates- him he's right, it's just like straight up hate, and they haven't known each other long, and cohle hasn't really done anything, not anything like irrevocable, he hasn't -acted- against hart, they've just had these clashes of personality and a couple of altercations, but already that fateful first real conversation in the car has made hart into someone who is becoming dominated by hatred
― j., Monday, 27 January 2014 17:44 (ten years ago) link
thinking that rust works low-level/-stakes security now or something - he said that he works 4 days a wk and lives behind a bar -- this was in relation to needing to get beerz to start drinking @ noon on a thurs
― johnny crunch, Monday, 27 January 2014 17:50 (ten years ago) link
I think in first episode woody said he had a security consulting business now or something

xps Hart hates Cohle because he secretly wishes he could be that open about his fucked-upness.
"Girls always know before boys.... because they have to." so otm and so heartbreaking at the same time.
― Roz, Monday, 27 January 2014 18:29 (ten years ago) link
def. a lot of good dialogue in this.
every back-and-forth line they had outside the tent revival was hilarious.

lol yeah love that whole conversation, and the fact that they were having it at a banh mi shack. xp

if you're referring to the phone call he didn't say that Cohle hated him, he said Steve Geraci did

say that Hart hated him i mean

The final shot of Ledoux (assuming that's him) reminded me of that old Bigfoot footage they used to show on In Search Of, right down to the freeze frame mid-stride as he looks in the camera's direction. So creepy.
