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

"you got some pussy on you"

Oh shit R.W. Chambers refs!! I am all over this shit now.

oh man mcconaughey's drunk reflective face

also, HIDTA vision gif, plz

ah! I fucking love this. goddamn it's so unsettling & weird, loving it so much

Those boobs will be remembered alongside Nick Sobotka's girlfriend.

so I think maybe they're trying to pin it on McConaughey or is that too obvious?

At the very end I started thinking about how mind-blowing tv/film is in that a giant crew of people built that burned out church, artfully placing the remaining roof boards and aging everything just so, just for a five minute scene.

I will be disappointed if in the end, McConaughey's character did it in a Keyser Soze-type situation. Ugh.

yea i dont think theyll do that

This is getting way more Twin Peaks than I thought it was going to be

there's obviously another shoe to drop with Rust. My guess is that he's not a straightforward detective but maybe even on another kind of undercover assignment. So many signs seem like he was sent there for a purpose.

signs in teh sky

Sent there to investigate Harrelson's character?

I dunno maybe, stuff like the redacted files and the others calling him a "fed" and the like. I'm reaching obviously.

though I won't be disappointed if it turns out he's been sent to receive the secret truth of the universe.

Def some Twin Peaks parallels, mac v anti-Cooper

The 90's period design on this show is very lax in comparison to the studied era evocation of Mad Men/Boardwalk Empire, but I still like it very much so far.

really could do with more Marky Mark and The Funkybunch imo

I think that if it took place in a more urban area, then you'd get more period design but since a lot of it takes place in rural Louisiana, it feels more out of time and whatnot.

yes what's keeping this show from greatness is lack of lollapalooza refs

xpost otm

Ok people! But it does fail to create a sense of 20 years ago, it absolutely fails for me but w/e.

I haven't been to those Louisiana areas but rural Texas, if you ignore the cars, still looks like 1974.

what are they supposed to do play more candlebox

Woody and Matthew dance to lovefool, make eyes through big aquarium

look all I'm saying is that if they were jamming to walkmans and wearing reebok pumps, it would be much cooler

psst: it's all joeks xelab :)

So far they've used the black angels and 13th floor elevators, holding out hope for butthole surfers in the next episode

next week's episode has already leaked, i think xelab will find his concerns have been addressed, let's just say this show really 'sells the drama' ;)

Or zz top's I got to get paid
xp

is that winky because there are more boobs

or wait, 90s boobs somehow

:D

Really want to try quaaludes now.

ok fuckit i'm watching ep1 again

is there anything to be made of why we get to see the interviewers with Mcconaughey but all of harrelson's statement is pov direct to camera, no side conversations etc?

i just noticed it this time

and it looks like harrelson is at the same copshop they worked out of

you see the interviewers later i think?

love how you get slight hints of personality from the interviewers--one is rather slick and ingratiating and the other seems a bit more emotional. A nice moment when harrelson says "you're on to something new" and he just gets a cold stare in return before interviewer #1 brings him back on topic.

What was up with that picture in the home of the victim's mother? Mac kept staring at it, at first I thought it was a KKK pic but they cut to it and it looked like ppl in witch hats on horses w a girl standing in front

Also, it's weird there was this huge ass owl staring at them in the church at the end but no one says damn homie look at that owl up there

that picture was really disturbing. And the dolls!

yeah that photo was weird

I just want to say how gorgeous the intro/title sequence is.
