TRUE DETECTIVE on hbo - Season Two

Not surprising that it's set in LA then xp

re: McConaughey it's true he had a terrible streak, but TD was part of a pretty high profile re-setting of his career, it wasn't the first instance of his reestablishing his credibility but following Bernie, Magic Mike, Mud, etc. I was excited to see him in this

xp

mateo was two years into his comeback when this came out with his oscar winner in the can, it's not like he jumped in off the set of Fools Gold

have you not been following the McConaissance

yeah but as you say this was part of it. I didn't check the dates but let's call it Dazed -> Friedkin = wasteland

i mean hey if this show is a really wowser and upends the career trajectories of Vaughn, Farrell, Kitsch and Biel (or someone who competes with Biel for roles) AND gives Justin Lin a trophy I won't complain, I mean that's damn good tv

guessing the female restoration project will be one of the main actresses on roseanne

hoping it's metcalf

she's already got an HBO show!

hope its Roseanne then

i forgot about that! is it any good? i am not acting like the devoted laurie metcalf fan i should be

don't really have a problem w/ this casting tbh. Is there any reason to think it won't be Elizabeth Moss for the female lead?

i liked the lil bit of Metcalf's show i saw. daniel stern's her husband!

farrell's like clive owen (ostensibly charming british actor america just REFUSES to pay money to see) where classy cable may just be the thing for him, and its not kitsch's fault Savages, John Carter and Battleship came out the same year, but man oh man oh man oh man Vince Vaughn

does he even remember how to act

woops forgot colin's irish. My apologies!

i always mix them up

is Kitsch confirmed yet? Anyway he'll be fine as long as he sticks to glowering.

Laurie Metcalf not only has an HBO show already but she's also in a really, reeeeeally shitty looking CBS sitcom starting this fall.

anyway i see no reason to think season 2 would be any worse than 1 based on some casting announcements did anyone think it wouldn't be like this

i thought they'd cast ONE actor that has at least Woody Harrelson level thespian credibility with audiences

would take Clive Owen over Farrell any day

Ray Velcro is a weird name for a detective

y'know as a buffer from the fact that they're already going to be dealing with a new setting, new cast, etc etc

"ok i dunno if i care about this story but i like (actor of repute) vs "ok i dunno if i care about this story and why the fuck am i watching vince vaughn talk to colin farrell"

haven't seen Farrell in anything post-New World except for Gilliam's Dr Parnassus and Jordan's Ondine, but he's pretty skilled for such a gorgeous slab.

again this may well be the bee's knees and i'm sure hbo is grateful for every optimist who can't fathom why anyone would see this creative change-over as anything to raise hackles over

Woody Harrelson level thespian credibility with audiences

thesp game woody harrelson

oh i know

Harrelson is a pretty terrific actor compared to walking-dead hacks like Anthony Hopkins and Al Pacino

i'm a lot more down w/ casting farrell than vaughan

vince vaughan will be really interesting i think! he has this quickness. & that kinda unbeautiful frame thing, like intimidating bulk & but too sorta sloppy to be intimidating.

i guess i didn't think S1 was good enough to worry at all about S2

Morbz otm re: Woody

i guess i didn't think S1 was good enough to worry at all about S2

they should put comments like this in the ads

of all the Cheers cast I would not have guessed in the 80s that Woody would be the one with the longest/most interesting career

"I have no problem with any of these actors!"

"C'mon the first season was good but not like THAT good!"

"I'm sure it will be an entertaining enough hour of TV!"

have vaughan lose 100 lbs and slather him in spray tan and have him spew pothead philosophy out a window and he'll be perfect

lool croup who cares

we do we're on an internet forum talking about it
