TRUE DETECTIVE on hbo - Season Two

vaughan, to frank's point in the last episode, is getting better as he gets worse.

so pissed already if there's going to be a time jump tho

i lol'd the scene in the car where colin is like *gestures to glove compartment* "take your cure" [glove compartment opens to reveal PRESCRIPTION DRUGS and CIGARETTES and A SMALL BOTTLE OF VODKA]

feel like this was an apt symbol for the whole shows desire to include every possible genre cliche in every scene, think there was a weed pipe in there too lol

it was nice of farrell to let the production borrow his actual car and glove compartment for the scene, v charitable of him

hopefully the jump will only be a month or so a la the gaps between many mad men episodes, because that would make sense, anything beyond that would be disappointing for sure though

niice

tums, weed, weed pipe, pills, butts, vodka

glad ray got a new car, a dodge charger suits him.

would have been funny to include a scene over the credits of him stocking the car.

when he saw the car burning he was totally thinking abt losing his sweet glove compartment stash

there are all kinds of traumas.

tums is a perfect touch.

like, you know that's already in every detective's glove compartment.

velcoro has all the bad habits

agree re vaughn
like, formality in way he delivers lines (prob most 'difficult' dialogue to say convincingly) is interesting rather than bad performance
lol at ominous sugar/cavity/teeth metaphors

btw let me note for the record

those moments, they stare back at you
you don’t remember them, they remember you
turn around, there they are, staring

english teacher me needs to point out that papa fred ward was sitting in same place of the bar that vaughn always sits.

Sometimes your worst performance is your best performance.

lol

i dont know how to be in this world
look out the window look at me no one does

p good insight tbh

also ray is an american spirits man

xps yes, that corroborated yr good observation upthread re father/son dynamic bw semyon & velcoro

p good insight tbh

ray was pretty good dad to paul there

"no one knows how to be in the world" feels like predominant theme of the season so far, really. that and your parents will fuck you up, but that's ok because everyone is fucked up.

ya, tho he cldve stood to add something abt how being gay was okay cause its surly just as miserable as being striaght

what year is it even when ray has his mustache

like 2004?

wasn't the line really 'I don't know how to be out in this world'? It was about being gay, which went right past the great detective Ray 'Columbo' Velcoro.

no i think that was only part of it

what year is it even when ray has his mustache

like 2004?

Bar singer then is part of the Jolie Holland / Cat Power scene.

Oh, wait, Taylor K's starlet story is on TMZ on a tablet in the first ep, so it's now-ish.

"i just don’t know how to be out in the world, man"

if it was just about being gay, that wd be really bad line

it's also about, among other things,
being out of the military
being out of yr own head
being out of yr mother's womb

Oh, wait, Taylor K's starlet story is on TMZ on a tablet in the first ep, so it's now-ish.

sometime in the last ~5 years

on a tablet in the first ep, so it's now-ish.

haha then what's with the 'porn?! through the computeR??!' feel of whassername's initial scenes rousting her sister

feel like not knowing that there are houses full of girls live camming is reasonable, also she was flustered cause she was expecting to find a bordello

It's funny to think of all of these characters taking Facebook breaks, adding each other as friends as their relationships deepen.

lol

your relationship sets you.

Could you explain what "turns" is to a non American?

Tums? It's an antacid

"whatever the fuck they call MDMA these days"

that + the vaping jokes makes pizzalata seem like an out of touch and bitter old lol

i enjoyed the "molly" joke lol

season 3 should def have more olds as principal characters.

hes i refuse to say "molly"

it will always be X to him

E if he were a lil younger

i wasn't really paying attention but vince sure did talk a lot about teeth am i right? was all of it just about pulling the guy's teeth out in the last ep or was it other teeth stuff

what is teeth supposed to mean to jung or whoever, fear of aging?

o yeah rite that's why i was asking mainly, the e-cig, like, the entire rest of the show seems to be set more than (at LEAST) a decade behind so it didn't really make sense to me, like was she supposed to be a vanguard vaper or something

maybe, those e-cigs def showed up a while before the hardcore vaping devices/culture

can someone do a series of image macros with screenshots + fortune cookie nicky pizza dialogue

pleeeeeeze

everybody itt getting complicatedly pro-vaughan way too fast
the teeth thing was weirdly embedded in this, & it was too flat to really have any kind of totemic power, & kinda flat because of vaughan imo

hey i was wondering, does this show have one editor? i think i don't understand what it means for three people to direct it. i liked everybody standing around just kinda fucked after the shoot out, but even that could have felt comparatively acute in someone else's hands, i think

also hey ban nic pizzolatto from writing ethnically-inflected criminal dialogue; vaughan muscling off against like broadbrush italians or russians or w/e is so hard to watch
