TRUE DETECTIVE on hbo - Season Two

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

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

otm

is this actually a turd detective superfan thread i'm sorry for not liking it that much!

true detective more like boo! defective

true detective more like tooth defective

if they title this season 2DETECTIVE I will watch in real time

2RUE DETECTIVE would also work

2 detectives (colin farell and vince vaughn)

True Detective Too: The Legend of Semyon's Gold

vince vaughn's character isn't a detective

thats what u think, but maybe investigate more

2 Detectives 1 Cult

there needs to be a wise-cracking street-smart orphan kid character in this

Two Detectives*: Who Did The Number Two?

*they try to figure out who went poo

Farrell perfectly capable of playing the standard "in over his head" noir gumshoe--no idea what he'll be playing tho of course. Never liked vaughn in anything so I hope the character something new for him.

i hope he has a boris & natasha thing with the female lead and then farrell & kitsch are moose & squirrel

vince vaughn's character isn't a detective

SPOILER: this season, everyone is a detective

True, Detective

True Detective VP

hmm Vince doing a Rust Cohle type part..

Both def in my top 5 actors I avoid. This is pretty depressing.

Farrell has been v good in a lot of things, no idea what people's beef is w/ him

yeah Farrell's great i think. loved him in Miami Vice and In Bruges and had no idea it was even the same guy til ages after.

No True Detective could be portrayed by vince vaughn

Untrue Detective

Colin Farrell looks I confused or startled badger. maybe an otter. definitely one of the Mustelidae. I have seen these movies and they were either terrible or he was terrible in them:

Minority Report
Daredevil
Alexander
The New World
The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus
Horrible Bosses
Cassandra's Dream

and looking over his resume dude just has awful taste in roles. Phone Booth, Seven Psychopaths, Saving Mr. Banks, the Fright Night remake, S.W.A.T. blech the guy is just gross on every level

I a confused or startled badger

that should say

Well he's a shitty actor with a strong Mel Gibson vibe about him, for starters. And then there was the time my mom insisted on seeing that movie where he stands in a phone booth for two hours. Two hours. Maybe it was 90 minutes. Either way ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME???? I was so irate walking out of that movie theater.

preach it

I was inclined to keep this to a discussion of his work but yeah I must admit his reputation as a "cocky drunken Irish brawler" also makes me think he's more or less the South Park caricature of Russell Crowe: Irish Version

true

things Colin Farrell was good in, iirc:

The New World
Fright Night (steals the movie, actually)
Crazy Heart
Ondine
In Bruges

(never seen Miami Vice)

in bruges and miami vice both own very hard and even if he is a knit cap in warm weather with silver hoop earrings kind of guy i cant hold that against him, he prob has tribal tattoos idk

any actor can be good under the right circumstances so instead of rushing to judgement you all should say "i am going to go into this with an open mind and i hope it is good"

Farrell is good-ish in Tigerland IIRC

Fine, Hitler.

Vince Vaughn needs to button that shirt.

Miami Vice and New World are very very good, but they're also the kind of films where any kind of 'acting' would just distract from the great pictures. But Farrell's blankness is definitely a huge plus in those conditions.

― lag∞n,

look at voters in 1980.

um ok alfred ill just take out my time travel binoculars over here...

Haven't seen much of his 00s work but I like him in Bruges/Psychopaths and he's recently been great a lot of thankless roles (saving mr banks, fright night, Crazy Heart). But for all the movies where his name is first in the credits, only Phone Booth and SWAT have anything close to a decent gross-to-budget ratio.

OK I'll bite: what's wrong with him in Minority Report? He made Tom Cruise look especially paunchy.

woops, sam jackson appears in the credits before colin in swat.

oh yeah minority report is obvs very cool too

and nobody except Woody's sister saw Cassandra's Dream.

Farrell's been sober for years. I've always heard that he's a pretty decent guy too

i don't think people would blink at the announcement that colin and taylor kitsch were gonna be on the billboards, it's vince vaughn as a mob guy trying to go straight that's the dare
