TRUE DETECTIVE on hbo - matthew mcconaughey, woody harrelson, michelle monaghan, fukunaga, pizzolatto

mmm i could get into that. and mcconaughey gets off qaaludes and on blood.

speaking of qaaludes, weren't they long off the market by '95?

way long i thought, maybe he was trying to buy expired-ass southern quaaludes

rmde at all of you - cool creepy halfway decent show comes on tv & all you want to talk about is maybe their suits were too tight

did I mistake this for I Love Tailoring

haha otm

tho I did notice the suits but idc

this is dope tho im psyched

*mainlines the secret truths of the universe*

otm re the birds mentioned upthread in the voiceover he talks abt being tuned into the secrets of the universe so I think he saw the symbol in the birds and knows hes gonna find something in the church

I've got Nic Pizzolatto's novel 'Galveston' cued up on my kindle for my long haul flight in a couple of weeks *super excited*

apparently they're already pushing season 2

my theory its not that they arrested the wrong guy its that it was a group of guys and they only got one of them, hints at this are the arrangement of the naked Barbie being menaced by the four kens in woodys kids room and the existence of the cult task force cause thats what it is a cult

i like it.

i have no idea my head is so full of POINTY HATS WHAT ARE THE POINT HATS seriously though those boobs WHAT IS THE SPIRAL hey owl ANTLERS ANTLERS ANTLERS

I was assuming the pointy hats were some kind of Ku Klan Klan type of thing but maybe not

nah man I paused that scene on my tv, they're just hats, not hoods. you can see faces. the clothes don't look like cloaks even. it's fking weeeeeeird as shit.

and the little girl is just standing there in front of them eeeuuuuaaaggghhh so freaky

creepay

RIGHT?

I think that's why I already love this show so much -- i love creepy shit like that that keeps you awake at night. it's ~exciting~

well, ok so it's a sickness ymmv

well color me sick too haha

ya it def left me feeling a lil spooky

i think it was determined upthread that the picture showed people in mardi gras costumes.

ya makes sense

It's the way it's posed and even the echo of it in the barbies that's most creepy. I wonder if those hats have some sort of forgotten significance.

friend just pointed out that one of the detectives interviewing them is Brother Mouzone from The Wire, that had been driving me nuts I knew I knew that guy.

oh shit good call and the minister was det. lester freeman

I secretly think lester freeman is the guy they're after

aw not lester hes so good

there was some picture of the "yellow king" that kinda looked like him

Yeah remember they zoomed on the crucifix and it had twine tying it all together, I thought the same thing.

dang

he nailed cats to his own church thats weird

the twine kinda looked like the kind used in those tree brush sculptures

Pointy hat figures prominently in chambers' first King in Yellow story iirc

downloading the king in yellow.

I found them bringing in Clarke Peters for that "bit part" more than a little on the suspicious side.

I'm still getting over how the detective is irl Brother Mouzone

still not really convinced this isnt gonna be another creepy serial killer thing... i dunno. not quite onboard yet.

the big reveal at the end of ep 2 of... another picture of the antler thingies!!! left me cold

yeah I find serial killer stuff in general really boring too (I have a whole thread about it!) but hoping this continues to be more Twin Peaks than CSI

more like poo defective

HBO bringing in part of their acting company doesn't mean much to me - if you're on one (popular) HBO show they'll find a way to keep throwing you work forever.

also, that is how casting works.

there were maybe more unknowns than usual on the wire, because baltimore/simon, but a lot of the working actors they used have been working all over the place since, not just on hbo

Probably filming Treme at the same time too

True, but he's the only one of the supposed randoms so far that I've recognized, which caused him to stick out.

Also Treme ruled and I hope you all watched it.

Still need to see the final season

It's basically one long denouement episode. Not spectacular, but satisfying for sure.

i recognized at least a handful, so i went trawling the imdb page, apparently at least five were on treme, another character was on veep (also hbo), michael harney (who has had a v. active character-part career—earliest run was as mike roberts early on nypd blue) spent a season on deadwood, one dude on boardwalk empire. so more in-house than i thought at first.

and not surprisingly, lots of southerners or people w/ southern parts on their resumes.

Still, having a one-scene guy be one of the leads from both The Wire and Treme is a little glaring. (Though of course the next few weeks may prove I'm an idiot.)
