TRUE DETECTIVE on hbo - Season Two

the phone booth movie is part of the phone thriller trilogy by the unfuckwithable larry cohen http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larry_Cohen

excellent article abt him behind the nyer paywall http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2004/02/02/the-survivor-3

instead of writing he dictates his scripts into a device while wandering around his house

Lol had no idea that was his script, love larry cohen

Q was like the craziest weirdest movie I saw when I was a kid.

Q is great. God Told Me To is awesome too.

The Stuff is my favorite. Also It's Alive 3: The Island of the Alive.

The Invaders has some incredibly messed up moments too.

tim riggins of mars is IN as paul woodrugh - 'a handsome, 28-year-old military veteran who has seen his own share of violence and destruction.'

he was the bomb in FNL. Ilx is full of pre-haters for season 2 but i think it has a chance

cool i love martians

paul woodruffsmash

gonna really hafta stretch his acting chops to play handsome

FINALLY the world will soon know the glory of tim riggins & you will all finally understand why i never ever shut up about him

took me a while to learn this wasn't jacob from twilight

important first step

On FNL whenever they talked about the Riggins Boys I expected the next words to be "and Gruber"

Rick Springfield ✔ @rickspringfield
Just finished my 1st day of shooting for season 2 of HBO's True Detective. What a great script. Working w/ Colin Farrell & Rachel McAdams!

Even without dialogue, I still hate the idea of Vince Vaughn being in this.

that teaser is 100% composed of white ppl, including the extras

I really really enjoyed the first season, but find the prospect of a second a bit of a chore, and the trailer isn't helping. Will watch though.

lots of moody god's eye view shots of southern california = looks pretty fucking good to me.

i'm an unreconstructed sucker for pulpy crime shit and this looks exactly like that, although i'm sure it will have all of the same thinkpiece-inspiring problems bc nic pizzolatto does not exactly seem inclined toward growth (that said, mcadams appearing to be just as involved in the main action is a start, at least)

*just as involved as the brooding men

lots of mustache = looks pretty fucking good to me

Nice digital camerawork, too.

Forget it, Jake. It's the psychosphere.

coming 2 arrest the premium television anti-hero cliche

It's like Michael Mann's The Shield.

that sounds really good

is that Rick Springfield

it is!

that teaser is 100% composed of white ppl, including the extras

I assume this is set in the near future when the LAPD has finally exterminated all minorities

the guy in the mask look scary

is that one of the main players? could only be Kitsch, i guess, but too burly seeming.

jeez dont worry i wasnt going to say anything

ew even got weird eye things for added creep

I couldn't even make it all the way through the trailer

regarding non-whites, while i agree diversity is desirable i think NP's muse is and always will be fucked up white people.

maybe he should set his stuff in idk Finland or something then

tbf there are lots of fucked up wites in LA.

so far he seems to excel at creepy crimes which white dudes are known to hold the record for

maybe he should set his stuff in idk Finland or something then

by that rationale matt weiner and david chase shouldve done the same! weiner has the (legit but convenient) excuse of it being period-accurate, david chase, aaaahhhhhh, eeeehhrrrmmmmm...but whatever.

pizzolato's problems are way more woman-related than anything else. if the show proves me wrong sure i'll eat the attendant crow but i don't expect him to totally witewash socal the way that say, lena dunham witewashes brooklyn.

Chase and weiner's shows both featured minorities

So, no

Agree p-zone is awful w women

so did the first season of true detective! we can debate about prominence of role, which yea is a problem but thats a problem of almost all tv, and it won't be rectified anytime soon aside from maybe by empire, and the success of that show is a major step in the right direction.

for the record, whenever black people showed up on the sopranos they were complete and utter stereotypes barring your one example of a rapper with a degree in urban planning in season 1, which was actually interesting. tbf that matched up with the view most of chase's italian north jersey characters had of black ppl, cant speak to chase's own.

as far as mad men goes they are not prominent at all, which again, is period accurate sadly, but pleeeeeaaassse don't even try to say matt weiner is a paragon of diversity representation or progressiveness just because pete campbell said IT'S A SHAMEFUL SHAMEFUL DAY in season 6 during the MLK assassination episode
