Tracer, no offense, but I'm glad that you don't write television shows.

it's unfair and missing the point to make EB&D a fall guy for the uninteresting-ladies-in-romcoms syndrome but that's the way i roll bitches
― Tracer Hand, Saturday, 26 September 2009 18:58 (fourteen years ago) link
Ha ha. That came off dickhead-ier than I intended, but I really only meant to say what you seem to acknowledge yourself: that you kinda seem to miss the point of the show. Interesting ladies are probably likely to be in short supply on a show which is such a paean to loserdom.

what mark s said about "white lightnin" in sight and sound applies here too i think:
your attention is entirely dragged away from the world you're being called to be astounded by or sympathetically caught up in -- the degradation and delusions, the spirit and capabilities of white American working-class life ... back towards the well-trod stunt skills (and aesthetic self-regard) of people we already probably know too much about; a parade of the established sensibilities, techniques and values that already clog up the cultural space this is (supposed to be) a contrast with.
― Tracer Hand, Sunday, 27 September 2009 21:36 (fourteen years ago) link
i'm holding out for it though.. i think the premise is holding it back - will he or won't he make it back to the bigs; will he or won't he come to terms with the answer - and once they get away from that it might settle into something more like my dream show
― Tracer Hand, Sunday, 27 September 2009 22:06 (fourteen years ago) link
isn't white lightnin' a horror movie? i haven't seen it, so can't really parse mark's piece. if we already know what the degadations etc. of white american working-class life *are*, as mark does, then im not entirely sure who it is we know too much about – whose aesthetic self-regard.
and im not sure to whom the 'aesthetic self-regard' bit refers w/r/t this series – "just an average guy, with exceptional hair", maybe.
who in eb&d do we already know too much about? what cultural space does its makers proposing it as a contrast to?
idk, im not looking for reasons not to like something!

How do ppl feel about it coming back? I love it so much that I'm hopeful but it ended sort of perfectly and I'm worried that a 2nd season is going to ruin it.

afaict McBride gets half his moves from the Ferrell playbook regardless of whether WF is actually involved in the project at hand
― some dude, Tuesday, 15 June 2010 13:54 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah :(
the first season felt to me like they had a movie script and padded it out into enough episodes for a mini-season, so i'm hoping for the second season the writers start really digging into things a little more. mcbride is a really good actor i think, he can handle it.

Totally fascinating interview with John Hawkes (Deadwood and a million other things, including playing Kenny Powers' brother) - he says he won't be in Season 2 :(
Some interesting stuff (he seems to have pretty mixed feelings about the experience): http://www.avclub.com/articles/john-hawkes,41960/

― delanie griffith (s1ocki), Tuesday, 15 June 2010 16:23 (fourteen years ago) link
it's interesting that he says he was on the fence about being the straight man or riffing; for my money he was totally written as the straight man and he basically played it that way - but you could tell there was something a little bit tentative about it - his eyes were searching for things, looking for openings, which as a straight man he really wouldn't be doing
― progressive cuts (Tracer Hand), Tuesday, 15 June 2010 16:28 (fourteen years ago) link
