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_?

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.

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.

Judging from the trailer, what we know about the season's plot from the initial press release, and the filming locations that they've been to, I think it's going to be set partially in Norther California, for the scary rural white people setting of the show, to repeat what rural Louisiana could do in season one, and then they seem set to go to the San Fernando Valley (they filmed near Ventura Blvd and Studio City a little bit) for their LA proper section, and I think that's where Vince Vaughn will come into play.
The trailer opens on the 14/5 interchange that takes you out of Los Angeles County and to either Palmdale or Bakersfield, and further than that to Central and Northern California, but that opening shot is a hint that the division between big city California and its rural and poorer counterpart will be a theme. That some parts of California are poor because some parts of it are rich, with transportation being for this story what California water was for "Chinatown" (this theme was alluded to in the press release from a year ago, so we're just connecting the trailer to that).
And visually I'm guessing a cross between Vince Vaughn playing the kind of scumbag that would've been in "Magnolia", and Colin Ferrell driving in the same parts of town, and in the same moral atmosphere, that Ryan Gosling explores in "Drive," or that's featured in the show Justified, which is supposed to be Kentucky but is actually filmed in Green Valley, south of Palmdale.

Vince Vaughn obsessively caring for a one story Sherman Oaks home, and then cutting back to Colin Ferrell in a cowboy motel an hour north, packing and unpacking an old school briefcase over and over again.
That'll be the show.
