this looks as good as an equiv wordless trailer of the first seas would have looked at the time. still pumped.

I don't think anyone was saying the show had a problem with race in season one. When I pointed out the lack of people of color in the teaser i should have included "and it is set in contemporary Los Angeles." That's not what LA looks like. (Tho perhaps it does in the world of ~detectives~)

i thought shakey was being a bit reductive w/ the "set stuff in finland" joke, clay your initial statement re: the trailer was p accurate
tbrr as a result of nic pizz's issues w/ writing women or honestly anyone who isn't a brooding wite who has secrets i now feel kind of awful for having defended him on any point, like he devises intriguing noir plots & his lines can sing when they dont clunk (it's basically a tossup as to which will happen) but seems like a not good person otherwise

xxp I actually don't think he's a plagiarist, that wasn't what I was referring to. more the way he comes off in certain interviews (the infamous "branzino lunch" one and bitching about his critics in a lame way in another
it does not surprise me tho that max read wrote a pisstake article out of boredom/quotas if that is indeed the case, I mean denton has v specific goals for pageview totals it must be stressful sometimes

i dunno about "dbag" but can you realistically make popular (or even unpopular) entertainment in mass media without having extended periods of being tremendously self-serious? your ideas are being realized at the cost of millions of dollars and thousands of man hours, that's pretty serious.

his statements about his upbringing in Louisiana makes it seem like he comes by his self-seriousness pretty honestly. in any case, he just strikes me as a bit clumsy in managing his media persona. probably didn't occur to him that citing Faulkner etc as an influence is to invite mockery.
― ryan, Friday, 10 April 2015 02:27 (nine years ago) link
part of why I was charmed by TD is that its "pretentiousness" (if you want to call it that) seemed so unguarded and earnest in some ways (though he's always careful to ground things in Marty's hilarious reactions to Rust). i guess in that sense it's the opposite of pretentious--these are ideas and feelings he was really invested in!

and I think that's what people are getting at with the "dorm room philosophy" jibes--as if they're made uncomfortable by that earnestness. too bad for them, I guess.

4real does being a "sort of sophisticated place" mean being hyper-acutely aware of the way in which a web gossip news org (which i enjoy, much love, but c'mon) manages its editorial process and publishing schedule in the day to day. i know y'all are into radical transparency with regards to how and why things are published but for people to be sophisticated do they actually have to _care_?

I mean pretty much everything Nick P has ever said in public makes him seem like a pretentious douche. That's beyond dispute
― Number None, Friday, 10 April 2015 21:53 (nine years ago) link
we should all be very worried...for season two, which isn't set in Louisiana but rather in L.A. Pizzolatto's leather-jacket philosophizing spoken by...Vince Vaughn and Colin Farrell? In Los Angeles? A show about two brooding, masculine detectives in Los Angeles. Talk about disruption.
yup. even season 1 abandoned what made it unique and unravelled into cliche, pizzolato doesn't have enough critical distance from the characters he creates. Rust basically transforms into batman around the halfway mark. mcconaughey's ego can't resist the hero worship of the script and what was up to that some convincing method acting disappears for four episodes of A-lister camera posing.
― dutch_justice, Saturday, 11 April 2015 06:20 (nine years ago) link
s1 would have been so much more interesting if it was about Rust bringing Marty over to the dark side instead of the watery redemption story it farted out instead.
